This week on our blog we speak to Lyz Evans, Practice Principal and Founder of Women in Focus Physiotherapy about the pelvic floor – what it is exactly, how it’s affected by birth and why it’s SO IMPORTANT to do those boring pelvic floor exercises… correctly! This is one of my favourite topics of discussion […]

Was your partner a brilliant ‘Daddy Doula’ at the birth? Send us your stories with an image to [email protected] by Friday 25 August […]
*Darnedest – meaning they try hard and often do the most surprising, unexpected, funny, and clever things! One of the reasons I created She Births® was because I met so many dads that felt incapable of helping at birth. I was also meeting a lot of quietly p-d off mums after the birth because […]
Empowering. Wondrous. Life-changing. There is a common misconception that second and third births are quicker and easier. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. It depends on many things – what you have been doing these last few years and so many other circumstances that come into play. Birth is a psychological process as […]
I have been a doula for over 15 years now and in that time have learnt so much about labour and birth. As a prenatal yoga teacher and mother I have also learnt a lot… but particularly as a doula. The doula is at the coalface of birth – there is no better way to […]
Over the past couple of weeks we’ve looked at nutrition requirements to support fertility and pregnancy. This week we discuss nutrition for the fourth trimester (yes, there’s a fourth!).

We hope you enjoyed last week’s Q&A with Tabitha McIntosh, Naturopath and Clinical Nutritionist from Awaken Your Health, and her yummy recipe (click here if you missed it). This week Tabitha discusses important nutrients to support mum throughout her pregnancy, as well as baby’s development. Enjoy this week’s recipe for Tabitha’s hunger-stopping savoury muffins – a great nutrient dense […]

How did your labour start? I started getting very mild contractions throughout the weekend, 3 days before my due date. On the Saturday night I couldn’t sleep as I was getting up to go to the bathroom what felt like every 30 minutes. On Sunday evening about 10pm just as my husband Ben and I […]
It is with great excitement that Leroy and I are packing our holiday bags and getting ready for a big USA trip. My baby boy is off to an amazing school in Colorado for the Summer Term called The High Mountain Institute. We are going to take a break together and then I will leave […]
I just wanted to thank you, as my daughter was born last Tuesday, and I went into labour with confidence thanks to the She Births® course. I did everything you advised us in the course; diet recommendations, the latest equipment that physios suggest in preparation for labour, your prenatal yoga routine and I read the […]

I’ve been meaning to email for the past two weeks since we welcomed our little girl Pasha Fox on the 1st October, but to be honest I haven’t had the words to express my gratitude to you. We truly had the most amazing, humbling and intimate birth of our dreams, and it was all thanks […]
Oct 1st – 9th is Navratri, the Hindu festival of 9 nights dedicated to the glorification of the Divine feminine. For three days each, the goddesses Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati are worshiped.

In my experience the most precious, sacred and most spiritual journey in the world is Motherhood 🙂 All based upon a profound attachment, deep loving, setting a few boundaries….and then lots and lots and lots of letting go. What do you think *|FNAME|*? As my baby boy turned 14 the other day and went off […]
My husband Simon and I did She Births weekend course with the incredible Nadine Richardson in the lead-up to our first son Sunny’s birth, and I will be forever grateful to Nadine. Sunny was in the posterior position so I had two days of very intense pre-labour and I hadn’t dilated at all. But when […]
Thank you for sharing another year with me and with She Births®. I hope that your Christmas break brings you rest, joy, connection and deep peace. What more can we ask for in life but for our true nature to be revealed to us…more and more each year? It is through this mysterious journey of […]

Dear mums and dads, I hope you are well. I have had a busy month since returning from India. Apart from teaching and mentoring I was honoured to be doula at one of my close friend’s births – which was such a wonderful experience. It was a scheduled c-section due to Grade 4 placenta praevia […]
I am back from my R & R adventure and have to say I am incredibly grateful for the experience, and to be home too 😉 India is an extraordinary country. It is quite hard to explain the dirt and chaos as well as all the wonderful colours and smiles…and especially all the wisdom that […]
Today I would like to give thanks for all my wonderful teachers – you my mums and dads… GURU PURNIMA – BATH IN THE BLUE MOON Today is actually the most auspicious day in the Vedic calender. It is yogic Christmas really. As the full (blue) moon draws closer to the earth during July we […]

It’s been such a busy couple of months I don’t quite know where to begin and I’m sure I’ll leave something out. However, today I really want to share a most inspiring story of how things can change with birth from one extreme to the other very quickly – and with the right kind of […]

What joys have been shared and what lessons have been learnt. There are 3 things that I learnt and know for sure, from this year’s triumphs and tribulations. I […]
Aha moments from the South Pacific… I’ve decided to share a video blog with you this month. There is so much to share from our travels in Tonga and swimming with the whales…I would love to hold a retreat there with some yogis one year. My video is not perfect, but it’s a start so […]
After 2 months in the wonderful Northern Hemisphere I have to say that I’ve fallen completely in love with Europe! I never thought it would happen. I’ve always had a slight aversion to my homeland primarily because of the weather but I suppose you can’t deny your roots at the end of the day. It […]
Ain’t it the truth – the first year of your bub’s life is the greatest but also the toughest. Amazingly you get through the labour but find out pretty quick that it’s only the beginning. Although there is an absolute explosion of love and a joyous discovery of the most primal intuitive bond, there is […]
