You’re pregnant – you’ve been shocked and excited. You’ve shared your news with those you love and now the confusion and even anxiety has started trickling in...
Pregnancy is an emotional rollercoaster and because of our lack of birth education at school, alongside negative birth stories, plus the birth scenes thrown at you by Hollywood it’s only natural to feel this way.
100% of my Bold Birthers say they felt confident, calm, relaxed and ready for their baby's birth.
Would you like to feel like this too?

Not just "twins"...
Good golly gosh - you’ve just got through all the emotions of falling pregnant and now you’ve been told that you are having not 1 but 2 babies!! Now of course - congratulations first!
But secondly - are you with a hospital who works with you and supports your preferences or have you simply been told “OK we’ve booked you in for a c-section because that’s how we do things here”?
Just know that whatever the type of twins you are having there are choices. And plenty of them - even if that means you chose to a c-section then take a look at my c-section course page to understand your choices there too!
Your body - your birth - your moment.
121 course cost £445.
- Monochorionic/Monoamniotic (MCMA) (identical twins sharing an amniotic sac and a placenta)
- Monochorionic/Diamniotic (MCDA) (identical twins sharing a placenta, but not an amniotic sac)
- Dichorionic/Diamniotic (DCDA) (separate amniotic sacs and placentas, however the placenta could be free or fused)
It’s not as simple as identical and fraternal twins. You may have:

Birth DEBRIEF Chat
Birth Trauma - 3 Step Rewind Technique
CORPORATE SERVICES
Even if your birth was years ago it can always help to seek some support and potentially closure. Everyone is offered a birth chat to help understand their birth and reflect on why some decisions were made at certain times.
Most of the time these chats are positive and filled with empowerment of how incredible you and your body is and it’s so wonderful to be able to soak in some positivity.
However, there may also be certain elements of your journey – a pot hole, a curve ball – that you may wish to discuss further to understand more.
FREE.
Talking can really help so that any 'pot holes' or 'curve balls' don’t snowball and takeover the positive experience you had.
This is purely me listening – just you and me.
There is no opinion and no judgement as each birth experience is individual just as you are.

Birth Trauma - 3 Step Rewind Technique
CORPORATE SERVICES
Around 30% of all births result in trauma with only 1% being diagnosed with confirmed PTSD. Whilst this is a terrible statistic it means you are not alone and certainly something we can talk about whenever you feel ready.
What is trauma?
‘Trauma’ may sound like an extreme word to some. It can range over a large scale like all emotions – from a fleeting sadness through to a debilitating response which renders you completely helpless: shaking, crying, or angry.
It can overwhelm your ability to cope, cause feelings of helplessness, diminish your sense of self and ability to feel a full range of emotions, which will wear away at your confidence and resilience after a while.
- Telling your story (although not mandatory) and understanding how you would like to feel instead
- Deep relaxation, remembering the event feeling safe and secure
- Imagining a future where you respond differently
If you are unsure of what you are experiencing perhaps ask yourself this question; how do I feel when I think of my child’s birth?

CORPORATE SERVICES
You know how important it is for your employees to feel heard and treated like an individual.
As someone who has worked in the corporate world for over 20 years’ I understand this all too well. Blending careers and personal life as one isn’t always easy, especially when planning for a family and maintaining a career.
Many of the companies I work for state they are supportive of families but when it comes down to it there is no flexible-working, strict periods of when to take time off, no maternity or paternity pay, denied shared parental leave etc. This led to many leaving their careers to move elsewhere, or become a stay-at-home parent. All evidencing very little diversity and inclusion.
These experiences have sculptured a corporate offering to be part of a maternity package benefit. Particularly useful for businesses who do not offer enhanced maternity or paternity pay.
So why not lead the way in your industry by supporting your employees with providing a positive birth experience that massively increases their chance of returning to their career happy, settled and empowered.
