Your instinct to birth
If making decisions about your birth or parenting feels really confusing or overwhelming, you’ve come to the right place.
I got into birth work because I could see how destructive the mismatch was between our evolutionary instincts as parents and the environment we live in today.
The expectations placed on us (and our babies) makes parenting feel even harder than it has to be, and sifting through the ever-shifting noise online is impossible. There is peace to be found in learning what is biologically normal (in birth, feeding, sleep, etc), which is often at odds with what the online chatter will have you believe.
Together, we will learn how our bodies are designed to birth and how to treat your gut as a credible source of information alongside evidence.
My mindset as a birth worker is inspired by anthropology and what we can learn from looking at other cultures and our ancestors.
My Approach
My antenatal sessions are guided by your needs, but are self-reflective by nature. We will spend time learning about the physiology of birth, how to navigate the birth system and unpick any worries you have that are affecting the support you need.
I will give you information, guide you, and facilitate an environment that allows you to make your own realisations. No matter what decisions you make in your birth, the work we put will allow you to trust yourself and feel empowered, and this will carry on into parenting.
In today's hot-button maternity climate it is worth mentioning that I believe in the body's ability to birth and also in medical support when required. I will never push any agenda on you.
