Unfortunately in 2024, our Maternity System in the UK is rapidly failing us as women.

The rise of induction in the UK is becoming worrying, 1/3 women or as high as 50% in many areas, meaning only half of babies are born by spontaneous labour. Unfortunately, so is the rates of Caesarean Sections, which has been on the rise since 2014. It is now believed that 41% of women give birth by C section - that’s almost half!

Of course, there are situations when we need additional help to birth our babies and it’s fantastic that we have our NHS and amazing staff for that. However, these statistics are rising, fast. Women are being informed of their rights and options when having a baby. Women are also not being told the benefits and risks for each thing offered to them - quite often, women do not feel they have any choices in their births, resulting in Birth Trauma (which affects 25,000-30,000 women each year in the UK) - BirthTrauma Association.

So, my mission for each and every one of my clients is to PRIORITISE YOU. I know you want to enjoy this pregnancy as much as possible but when the outside world slowly creeps in and horror stories are being told to you, it’s hard not to focus on the negativity. However, I can change this for you. I can help you navigate those tough situations you might find yourself in. I can support your partner to advocate for you both as a team, and know what decisions feel right for you and your baby. You are my focus and I am supporting you. I will be there to listen to you, make the courses fun and engaging and be on the end of the phone when you need extra support. I will always make you feel respected and valued throughout our sessions and for as long as you need me.
