I'm sure you've heard this phrase many times before but I invite you to pause for a moment and absorb these words in their entirety. Something shifts deep within when we labour and birth. The version of us as a mother, either for the first time or as a re-entry into motherhood is life changing and identity shifting.
Once you find out you're pregnant, it's so normal to feel "ALL the feels". Excited, nervous, overwhelmed, triggered- maybe a combo all at once. It's all ok. I get it sweetheart and please know that I have literally got you. I am all in for you. I'm about to become your birth bestie and you will have unlimited support from myself every step of the way. You can think of myself as your mindset coach, your personal cheerleader tucked in your back pocket
I'll help you to surrender by working so closely with you to debrief your previous births and/or thoughts held around pregnancy and labour. We'll address fears, challenge negative thought patterns and explore how you can anchor yourself during pregnancy, in birth suite and early postpartum. Together, we'll deep dive into the delicate dance of hormones during birth and how to best design your environment, select your birth team and adjust your mindset to maximise the flow of oxytocin and let your body and your baby do exactly what they need to do to birth.
Our antenatal sessions together will cover extensive birth education such as how hormones work during labour, how to relax into labour, the magic of physiological birth, how to reframe the 'pain' of contractions and why the language we use matters. We'll explore how to manage labour, optimal birthing positions to support your natural physiology, why hospital interventions can happen and how to advocate, navigate and adpapt to situations if they were to arise. We'll explore the role of your partner in your birth and how the two of you can work together as a team to have a beautiful shared experienced. Our time together antenatally provides the framework to mapping out your birth plan. And that beautiful is just the beginning of what an empowered birth journey for you can look like.
