β¨ One More To Adore β¨
This one-day workshop is perfect if youβ¦
β Are growing your family and need a refresher
β Want a safe space to reconnect with what birth means to you
β Are exploring different options for where you give birth
β Are hoping for a different kind of experience this time β¨For many families, pregnancy & birth comes with BIG feelings, sometimes more confidence, sometimes more doubts, sometimes both at once. That's exactly why I created this workshop: so you can unpack those feelings, explore your options and rebuild confidence with support, honesty and zero judgement
We'll cover what this next birth might look like as you add to your family β are you changing your birth place of choice? What do you want different from last time? What feelings come up when you think about it? Plus, life with a newborn and another child, and how to prepare for that postpartum
It's just one day, so book the babysitter, grab your birth partner and let's get you feeling excited for this next chapter π

Not all births happen at home or in a birth centre. Some happen in theatre. And yet, the education around elective caesarean births is seriously lacking IMO π₯
If you already know a caesarean is on the cards for you, whether by choice or as a care plan option, you deserve to go in feeling informed, prepared and in control βπΎ
That's exactly why I've created The Elective Caesarean Masterclass a full-day workshop covering:
β¨ What your options are (yes, you bloody well do have them!)
β¨ What happens in theatre and how to make it a more positive experience
β¨ How to optimise recovery and prepare for postpartum PROPERLY
β¨ The realities of caesarean birth (the good, the challenging and everything in between) β plus infant feedingYou'll leave feeling confident, buzzing and ready for the birth you're planning π₯
Weβll make sure your caesarean birth is your birth, on your terms
