💕 Happy Homebirth Awareness Week 💕

I reflect on my experience of birthing my son so often, on what it changed in and for me, on how I had to evolve through that experience to become who I am today, the fire it lit in my soul. I made a deal with myself that if I got to experience even one contraction, feel that power ripple through me, that I would be happy - he gifted me so much more than that 🥹

I will never forget the moment, after a joyous, beautiful labour, when he came out (in quite a hurry) into my known midwife’s hands in our own bathtub at home. It was so much more than ‘just’ a Homebirth - it was a reclaiming of my power, my belief and my trust in my body. It propelled me into birth advocacy, into the work I do today.

It was an experience that I know, without a doubt, would’ve looked SO different if I’d birthed in the hospital…to be perfectly honest, I think it could easily have resulted in a repeat caesarean. To have the experience of being surrounded and held in exactly the way I needed, being trusted to listen to my intuition and given the time and autonomy to feel powerful, to be empowered... I don’t think there is any way I can explain the enormity of the impact it had on me ❤️

Homebirth is about SO MUCH MORE than birthing at home. It is a model of care 🥰 It is about getting to know your midwife, and them knowing you. It’s about going deep, having the hard conversations, rescuing cats out of your garage together (😅), little hands guiding the Doppler to check on bub’s heartbeat, and then having those same supports as you guide your newest baby into the world. It’s about having that same person there for your postpartum, for the midnight freak outs, for navigating weight gains and weight loss and all the things in between.

***It’s about continuity with someone you choose***

And for many Australian women, that choice will soon be taken away. If you haven’t seen it already, please get on board with protecting birth choices for our daughters, for ourselves. Homebirth Australia has a spectacular campaign, and we will be rallying at the end of November to protect births like this 💕 Please help us protect birth choices for all women 🔥

❤️ Happy homebirth awareness week ❤️

This is a spot on my grid for all the Homebirth transfer mamas this week! To the women who went to the exact place they were trying to avoid, the ones who surrendered their plans (and bodies) to birth their babies safely, the ones who showed such courage and determination amongst potential grief and overwhelm - I see you 💕 This is Homebirth…SAFE birth, supported birth, wherever it happens, however it happens.

This was my first birth, a Homebirth transfer to caesarean. Yes, it looked a heck of a lot different to what I had planned, but because of my beautiful midwife (Jo Hunter) and doula (Jacquie) it was a positive experience. I often say that even if I knew I had to have a caesarean I’d have hired my same team anyway 🥰

All births are valid, none are failures, and this birth taught me exactly what I needed to be the mother, the woman and the doula I am today 🥹 I am forever grateful 💕

Are you newly pregnant and considering support for your pregnancy, birth or postpartum journey (or even all 3)? I have you covered! ☺️ Whether you’re looking for some birth education (I teach the Calmbirth program), want to to map out your birth experience, get some education around postpartum and breastfeeding, be supported and held through your birth (and have support for your partner through this experience too!) or be nourished and supported postpartum, I can help you 🥰

Bookings are subject to availability and while the limitations I’ve popped on this post are very real, I always encourage women to reach out if they’re not sure. I can’t actually believe we’re booking June enquires already 😳 I’m also adding postnatal and breastfeeding workshops to my offerings this year coming, so reach out and let me know what you’re needing, I’d love to hear from you 😍

Head to the 🔗 in my bio for more info 😉

What if preparing for birth wasn’t about just hoping everything goes to plan, but feeling confident that you have the tools to navigate whatever happens? 👏

Calmbirth is about understanding birth, preparing your body and mind, and building a practical toolkit you can draw on throughout labour and birth.

Over two full days, we explore:
✨ How birth works — physiologically and psychologically
✨ Breathing, relaxation, visualisation and mindfulness
✨ Massage, acupressure, movement & positioning
✨ Spinning Babies® techniques
✨ Birth mapping and preparing your birth preferences
✨ Induction, epidural, caesarean birth & other interventions
✨ How to make informed decisions if your plans change
✨ Practical ways partners can support you
✨ Practical tips for preparing for postpartum

And importantly, Calmbirth isn’t about preparing for a particular *type* of birth.

It’s about helping you understand your options, ask better questions, communicate with your care providers and approach your birth feeling informed and supported — whether your birth is physiological, highly supported, or somewhere in between.

My next Blackheath Calmbirth course is starting THIS SATURDAY (3rd and 10th October) 🥰

Spaces are limited, so if you’re pregnant and thinking, *“I want to feel more prepared for this…”* — send me a message or head to the link in my bio.

Update on my service area (again) 🥰

There have been some road changes in the past little while which means I’m needing to further restrict the area I’m supporting within 💕 Whenever I can step back a bit and narrow my service area down it helps me prioritise my own family and also the families I’m supporting ❤️ I’ll always travel for the families I’ve supported before, and I do often travel down to Westmead where needed for births (but not for lactation consults).

If you’re anywhere throughout the blue mountains down to Penrith or Richmond and looking for pregnancy, birth or lactation support, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m so willing to consider families outside this area provided I’m not spreading myself too thin (so please reach out early if this is you!), and if I can’t, I’m more than willing to refer you on to amazing doulas who I would work with in a heartbeat 😍

There are no absolutes in birth!

Yes, feeling safe, calm and supported can make a real difference in labour, and the fear–tension–pain cycle is real. But you don’t have to completely eliminate all fear to birth well.

You can feel the fear and do it anyway.

Because birth isn’t about achieving perfection!

It’s about feeling informed, supported and trusting yourself to navigate whatever comes your way, with the support of the team you have around you.

If you’re preparing for birth and want to explore how Calmbirth or doula support could help you feel more confident and supported, I’d love to chat 🥰

“What’s your vision for this room?”

To fill it 🥰

To fill it with couples preparing for birth.
Learning.
Moving.
Practising.
Laughing.
Asking all the questions.
And leaving feeling a little more ready than when they arrived.

Calmbirth | Blue Mountains
3rd & 10th October, 9m-5pm
I’d love to fill this room with you 😍

A doula isn’t there to make decisions for you, take your partner’s place or bring their own agenda. We’re there to help you feel informed, supported and cared for, before, during and after birth.

Sometimes that support looks like hands-on, physical support. Sometimes it’s helping your partner know what to do/how to support you.
Sometimes it’s helping you understand your options when something unexpected happens.
Sometimes it’s asking questions to help you communicate with your care provider.
And sometimes it’s simply being the calm, familiar person in the room who knows you, knows what matters to you, and can remind you of your own strength when things get intense.

Doula support is about supporting you, whatever that looks like, whatever you choose 🥰

If you’re considering doula support for your upcoming birth, reach out, I’d love to chat about how I can support you 🤗 Head to the link in my bio to learn more about birth support or to get in touch.
