the birth boss philosophy - my approach

The first thing I want to say is - I am not the Birth Boss - you are!

I provide a source of support to women and birthing people which: helps them to feel prepared and in the best position to give birth; offers practical and emotional support during birth and the postnatal period; and helps parents who are struggling with a difficult birth experience to draw on their own healing abilities.

I believe that a positive birth experience sets us up for the best start to parenthood.

I also believe that if you didn’t get the birth you wanted and you’re struggling to come to terms with that, I can help you with resolution and moving forward, perhaps even, a better birth next time around.

I am accepting of your birth and parenting choices. I do not aim to push any agenda of what the ‘ideal’ birth or postnatal period should look like.

I understand that your individual circumstances are unique. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to birth or parenting. I am enthusiastic about helping you achieve the birth and parenthood experience you want.

So, whether you are electing to have a caesarean birth or a home water birth, whether you are planning to co-sleep or sleep train, I  endeavour to provide you with all of the information you need to feel confident in your choices.

I will give you all of the tools and teach you techniques which will assist you in having the best possible birth experience.

Hypnobirthing is applicable and hugely beneficial to ALL births.

It is my firm belief that it is not how we give birth that matters, but how we feel about how we give birth that’s important. How you as a mother and a parent feel about your birth experience, will stay with you. If we can make these feelings positive, we set ourselves up for the best start in parenthood.

A positive birth experience can lead to:

• increased maternal/paternal satisfaction

• lower risk of suffering postnatal depression

• better informed partners who are able to provide greater support during the birth itself and postnatally

• the foundation for a stronger bond with your baby ​

Birth Boss is on a mission to grow a community of empowered women and parents, not afraid to share their positive birth stories, so that they can inspire others to take a more proactive approach to their birth preparation and stack the odds in their favour of totally bossing their birth!  ​
