Welcome to The Doula's Guide To Preparing For Your Birth Podcast, season 4 episode 6! In this episode I'm talking to you about the ways that our birth prep can actually sometimes cause MORE fear rather than less, mainly on social media, and how over preparing isn't necessarily helping. This is your permission slip to have a break and enjoy your pregnancy a little bit more. I also chat a little about how this effected me in my recent pregnancy.

Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 3 episode 11. Today I wanted to chat to you about some common myths I hear all the time around using hypnobirthing tools and techniques. So often people have a fear of being judged for wanting to change their birth environment, or they worry about being called naive for planning an unmedicated birth for example. I address these common anxieties in this episode and share some tips for getting people on board with your birth plans too. ❤

Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 3 episode 9. This is the ninth episode in a series all about common birth myths, today I wanted to chat to you all about the myth that your midwife appointments (in the UK) will prepare you for birth. This is something I hear so commonly from clients and followers - that they thought they would receive birth preparation in their midwife apts, so I thought I would talk today about what you can expect and where to go for good, thorough birth prep.
