Hi, I’m Kelly - a mum of 2 and Hypnobirthing teacher and Birth Educator. The story behind this podcast starts with the premature birth of my little girl. I was shell shocked and felt disappointed in the care I had received during my labour, that left me with a less an ideal birth experience. I started motherhood feeling lonely, overwhelmed and without the slightest clue of how to make things feel better.


When I fell pregnant for the second time, I knew I had to take back control. I practised Hypnobirthing and built my knowledge around birth, going on to have an incredible and powerful birth to my son. But something clicked for me. I knew I wanted to help other women build up their knowledge so they could have better experiences too. This led me to train to become a Hypnobirthing teacher, and I have been helping women with my 5* rated course, to feel more supported and have better birth experiences since 2021.


Through this work, I’ve met other incredible experts in the Motherhood space and have began to build up a bank of knowledge on how we can make motherhood feel less chaotic and more happy and empowering. I’ve seen and felt the highs and lows of birth and motherhood and I don’t think anyone should go through the journey alone. So welcome, to ‘The Motherhood Guide: Birth and Beyond’, where I combine my knowledge and experience to help you feel seen, heard, reassured and supported. Guests within the Motherhood space will also join us regularly, to provide their own expertise and experiences, helping us cover a huge variety of topics.


 Here, it's all about empowering women with the knowledge and fresh perspective to feel they can excel in motherhood, whatever way they do it.

Emma's story delves into her recovery journey, including her initial diagnosis, the therapy process (particularly focusing on EMDR therapy), and the support system that helped her through her recovery. The episode aims to educate listeners on postnatal PTSD, offer hope to those facing similar struggles, and encourage open conversations about difficult aspects of motherhood and post-birth recovery.

In this chatty episode, I share the goings on of the February school break from slow mornings, work hacks in the soft play and even - the stars aligning allowing me to sleep off the dreaded mum flu without kids in tow! I share the things i've loved about the school holidays, but also the parts that have been tough.


About the Host

Hi, I’m Kelly - a mum of 2 and Hypnobirthing teacher and Birth Educator. My story starts with the premature birth of my little girl. I was shell shocked and felt disappointed in the care I had received during my labour, that left me with a less an ideal birth experience. I started motherhood feeling lonely, overwhelmed and without the slightest clue of how to make things feel better. When I fell pregnant for the second time, I knew I had to take back control. I practised Hypnobirthing and built my knowledge around birth, going on to have an incredible and powerful birth to my son. But something clicked for me. I knew I wanted to help other women build up their knowledge so they could have better experiences too. This led me to train to become a Hypnobirthing teacher, and I have been helping women with my 5* rated course, to feel more supported and have better birth experiences since 2021. Through this work, I’ve met other incredible experts in the Motherhood space and have began to build up a bank of knowledge on how we can make motherhood feel less chaotic and more happy and empowering. I’ve seen and felt the highs and lows of birth and motherhood and I don’t think anyone should go through the journey alone. So welcome, to ‘The Motherhood Guide: Birth and Beyond’, where I combine my knowledge and experience to help you feel seen, heard, reassured and supported.

We also chat about the difficulties in navigating and birthing within the NHS system within the UK and how we can make sure we get the best out of the experience. Mandy also gives us some honest insight into life with 5 children. This is a really eye opening episode, and I really encourage you to listen to it even if you'd never plan a freebirth yourself!

I explain the difference between planned and unplanned C-sections, the importance of preparation and knowledge, and help dispel some misconceptions about c-sections. We talk about what the process of a c-section is like and highlight the significance of understanding and respecting birth preferences. There's a strong emphasis on focussing on the aspects you can control and I provide practical tips for handling the many different considerations we need to make for C-sections. This episode serves as a great resource for expecting mothers and partners to navigate through C-section births confidently and make well-informed decisions.

About the Host

Hi, I’m Kelly - a mum of 2 and Hypnobirthing teacher and Birth Educator. My story starts with the premature birth of my little girl. I was shell shocked and felt disappointed in the care I had received during my labour, that left me with a less an ideal birth experience. I started motherhood feeling lonely, overwhelmed and without the slightest clue of how to make things feel better. When I fell pregnant for the second time, I knew I had to take back control. I practised Hypnobirthing and built my knowledge around birth, going on to have an incredible and powerful birth to my son. But something clicked for me. I knew I wanted to help other women build up their knowledge so they could have better experiences too. This led me to train to become a Hypnobirthing teacher, and I have been helping women with my 5* rated course, to feel more supported and have better birth experiences since 2021. Through this work, I’ve met other incredible experts in the Motherhood space and have began to build up a bank of knowledge on how we can make motherhood feel less chaotic and more happy and empowering. I’ve seen and felt the highs and lows of birth and motherhood and I don’t think anyone should go through the journey alone. So welcome, to ‘The Motherhood Guide: Birth and Beyond’, where I combine my knowledge and experience to help you feel seen, heard, reassured and supported.

We look at how slowing down and honouring your needs not only has a positive affect on those around you, but on your own mental health.

This retreat was a "Mindful Motherhood Retreat" focusing on finding calm and connection in the chaos of motherhood and boy did it deliver! This experience was a little out of my comfort zone and like nothing I have ever done before but it was an amazing day with lots from me to take away from it. It really hit home for me the importance for mothers to have sufficient time to themselves and to feel fully seen and listened to, and also just how powerful opening up with others can be.

About the Host

Hi, I’m Kelly - a mum of 2 and Hypnobirthing teacher and Birth Educator. My story starts with the premature birth of my little girl. I was shell shocked and felt disappointed in the care I had received during my labour, that left me with a less an ideal birth experience. I started motherhood feeling lonely, overwhelmed and without the slightest clue of how to make things feel better. When I fell pregnant for the second time, I knew I had to take back control. I practised Hypnobirthing and built my knowledge around birth, going on to have an incredible and powerful birth to my son. But something clicked for me. I knew I wanted to help other women build up their knowledge so they could have better experiences too. This led me to train to become a Hypnobirthing teacher, and I have been helping women with my 5* rated course, to feel more supported and have better birth experiences since 2021. Through this work, I’ve met other incredible experts in the Motherhood space and have began to build up a bank of knowledge on how we can make motherhood feel less chaotic and more happy and empowering. I’ve seen and felt the highs and lows of birth and motherhood and I don’t think anyone should go through the journey alone. So welcome, to ‘The Motherhood Guide: Birth and Beyond’, where I combine my knowledge and experience to help you feel seen, heard, reassured and supported.

I also discuss the excitement for independence as I move into this next stage in my motherhood journey whilst reflecting on past years with nostalgia, guilt, and acceptance. I wasn’t lying when I said it’s an emotional rollercoaster!


About the Host

Hi, I’m Kelly - a mum of 2 and Hypnobirthing teacher and Birth Educator. My story starts with the premature birth of my little girl. I was shell shocked and felt disappointed in the care I had received during my labour, that left me with a less an ideal birth experience. I started motherhood feeling lonely, overwhelmed and without the slightest clue of how to make things feel better. When I fell pregnant for the second time, I knew I had to take back control. I practised Hypnobirthing and built my knowledge around birth, going on to have an incredible and powerful birth to my son. But something clicked for me. I knew I wanted to help other women build up their knowledge so they could have better experiences too. This led me to train to become a Hypnobirthing teacher, and I have been helping women with my 5* rated course, to feel more supported and have better birth experiences since 2021. Through this work, I’ve met other incredible experts in the Motherhood space and have began to build up a bank of knowledge on how we can make motherhood feel less chaotic and more happy and empowering. I’ve seen and felt the highs and lows of birth and motherhood and I don’t think anyone should go through the journey alone. So welcome, to ‘The Motherhood Guide: Birth and Beyond’, where I combine my knowledge and experience to help you feel seen, heard, reassured and supported.

But there’s hope - I show you how you can elevate basic necessities into self-care rituals and shares the importance of finding joy in the little everyday moments. There’s importance in not feeling guilty about focusing on self-care, as it not only benefits the mother but also sets a positive example for the children and self care and should be a priority, be it on your own or with your children's involvement.
