Less overwhelm for foggy brains
My mission is to lower the barriers to start preparing for birth by crafting content that is less overwhelming for the pregnant mind. The brain can only remember 3-4 things at a time, and most pregnant brains are forgetful and distracted. This results in people not preparing (optimally) because it is just hard for them.
We have to rethink how we deliver information, to empower everyone in their preparations for birth. By using and sharing these resources, we encourage to-be parents to start preparing with more ease.
Your Birth Guide
- Provides a simple summary to most birth preparation books & pregnancy courses
- Thoughtfully designed for easy understanding & confidence
- A generic and neutral approach to birth in all settings (home, hospital, birthing center)
- Valuable starting point for Centering Pregnancy Meetups
- Covers most interventions and can be used as a starting point for Shared Decision Making
Prenatal Exercises
- Created with Prenatal Movement Professionals
- Specific exercises to prepare the body for childbirth in the third trimester
- No equipment needed, suitable for any environment
- Ideal as an informational flyer in welcome packages or useful for addressing questions during check-ins
- Posters can be customised to fit your brand & practice
Social Channels
Together, we encourage more confidence

Materials for your practice
What else would help your audience and fit your practice?
I'm just starting out and very keen to explore how we can make preparations less overwhelming and simple for everyone. What are topics you feel to-be parents struggle with? Are you missing assets that help bring your message across? Some ideas include a simple online mini-course, PowerPoint decks & visuals to support your presentations, and simple documents with specific information. If it fits our shared mission, don't hesitate to get in touch and let's explore the possibilities together.
