Pregnancy Care and Birth

What I offer and why

Prenatal education with a holistic perspective.

Pregnancy is not just a physical journey, but an emotional, mental, and spiritual transformation. The way we prepare for birth can shape not only how we experience labor but also how we enter into the profound experience of becoming a parent. My approach to health and human connection, often emphasises the importance of honouring the body’s wisdom and connecting deeply with the rhythms of life, and that is reflected in your connection to your body during your pregnancy. Prenatal education is not just about what is happening physically, but about preparing the mind and spirit for the sacred experience of birth. Pregnancy and birth requires reconnecting with our bodies—understanding how each part of us is interconnected, and how mind, body, and emotions work in tandem. During pregnancy, this awareness becomes even more crucial. The body undergoes remarkable changes, and our connection to it can make a profound difference in how we navigate this transformation. I offer prenatal education that encourages expectant parents to cultivate an intimate relationship with their bodies. This isn’t just about learning what’s “normal” during pregnancy, but truly listening to the signals your body is giving you.

Emotional and mental preparation.

Birth is an event that takes place not only in the body but in the emotional and energetic body as well. The emotions surrounding pregnancy and birth are just as important as physical health, and prenatal education should support emotional resilience. This might include working through fears or anxieties about labor, addressing past trauma that could be triggered during childbirth, or exploring the deep emotional currents of becoming a parent.

Part of this emotional preparation is learning how to shift your mindset. Many people approach birth with anxiety and fear, which can lead to tension and disempowerment during labor. I invite parents to reframe their understanding of birth as a natural, transformative experience, rather than a process to be feared or controlled. Embracing the spiritual journey of pregnancy, acknowledging that this is not only a physical process but an initiation into motherhood (or parenthood) and an opportunity for deep personal growth. Birth can be both a literal and metaphorical rebirth—a chance to shed old layers, release fear, and step into a new version of yourself. It’s about recognising that labor is not something that happens to you, but something you actively engage in, with your mind, body, and spirit fully aligned. With a blend of somatic and spiritual practices, I help foster a deeper connection to oneself. The somatic practices focus on the body and its sensations, helping to release tension and facilitate emotional processing and promote healing and balance. Spiritual guidance complements this by encouraging reflection and introspection, allowing you to explore your beliefs and values. As you engage in these practices, my goal is to create a safe space for exploration and discovery. This nurturing environment will allow you to tap into your innate wisdom, uncovering insights that may have been hidden.

I also believe I am not only preparing the birthing parent but also the birthing partner. Birth is a shared experience, and supporting each other is essential for a peaceful, empowered birth.I cultivate space for partners to learn how to support the birthing parent emotionally, physically, and energetically. This could mean learning massage techniques, practicing deep breathing together, or understanding the dynamics of labor, so the partner can be a true ally in the process. When both partners feel connected, calm, and supported, the entire birthing experience can be much more harmonious.

Birth Plan Dreaming.

Birth is one of the most powerful and transformative experiences a person can undergo. Yet, in a culture where birth is often medicalised and outcomes are frequently beyond our control, it can feel overwhelming to think about how to prepare for such an event. I encourage parents to approach birth with openness, mindfulness, and a deep trust in their bodies’ innate intelligence. Life, in all its forms, cannot be fully controlled or predicted. Birth, is no different. While it’s natural to want to have an idea of what you’d like your birth experience to be, attempting to rigidly control every detail can set us up for unnecessary stress and disappointment. I believe the essence of true birth planning, lies in creating a framework that reflects your desires, but with the understanding that birth, like life, is dynamic and sometimes unpredictable. Rather than striving for a perfect plan, I will work with you to create a birth plan that is flexible and fluid—one that allows for the unexpected and invites room for surrender., which will up open space for trust in the process, allowing you to flow with the moment rather than resist or fight against it.

Physical & Nutritional Guidance.

Pregnancy is a time of profound transformation—a time when the body demands extra nourishment, the mind craves clarity and grounding, and the spirit seeks connection to something greater. To truly thrive during this sacred period, the body needs more than just calories; it requires nutrient-dense foods that support the growth and development of the baby, as well as the health and vitality of the mother. Informed and inspired by the wisdom of Weston A. Price and his work, a pioneer in nutritional science, prenatal nutrition can be approached in a way that goes beyond conventional recommendations, drawing on ancient traditions and the body’s inherent wisdom. I offer personalised nutritional advice and together we’ll explore how to nourish your body with nutrient dense foods and herbs to promote vitality, strength, and energy throughout pregnancy, preparing you for a smoother labor and postpartum recovery.

also offer pregnancy massage therapy and Sacral Somatic sessions, as a Sacral Somatic Therapist, to give the body relief, support, and an opportunity for deeper connection during this sacred time. As the baby grows, the body undergoes a range of physical, emotional, and hormonal changes that can create discomfort, stress, and fatigue.
