The placenta: the root of your origin. A truly miraculous organ which shares and protects life. Creation stories tell of the Earth Mother birthing the world: her amniotic fluid becoming the oceans, the placenta becoming the Tree of Life.

Monday's Child 👶💖
It was so hot this afternoon, I had to buy a 2kg bag of ice to pack around the freshly birthed placenta, to make sure it was kept as cold as possible whilst in transit! ❄
An extra special well done to all the mamas giving birth in this heat 🤗

This gorgeous work of placenta art is 1 of a kind, totally unique, just like the baby it belongs to 💖
The umbilical cord is made up of one vein that carries oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to the fetus, and two arteries that carry deoxygenated, depleted blood from the baby to the mother for her excretory system to dispose of.
It's covered in a substance called Wharton's jelly, a gelatinous substance that provides insulation and protection within the umbilical cord. Stem cell...s are present in Wharton's jelly, as well as in umbilical cord blood.
The cord is usually around 50cm long and 2cm in diameter and is strong and flexible. It ensures a steady supply of enzymes for metabolism, ions of calcium to build bone, and iron to produce blood.

"It takes a special patience to live with a woman who is in love with placentas...." - Robin Lim
I totally understand that the idea of consuming your placenta after birth can seem pretty gross, which is really why the encapsulation process has come about: to make the whole affair much more palatable!
I've made and consumed two placentas, following the births of my children; partly in smoothie form, partly in capsule form and partly as a placenta tincture. I also used part of... the placentas to create a unique mother oil to mix into my gorgeous range of cosmetics.
Did you know that (animal) placenta extract is the active ingredient in Olay's new Regenerist Ointment for the eyes? The stem cells derived from (sheep) placenta are used for their anti-aging properties as they are reported to promote collagen production and increase skin elasticity.
I recently chatted to the rather fabulous Megan Rossiter @Positively Birthing: Hypnobirthing and Antenatal Classes in Surrey about all things placenta, as part of her 'Ask The Experts' series.

I might moan about him from time to time (I'm allowed to, right?!) but in all seriousness, this man is a living legend.
We met my gorgeous partner in crime from my school days, and her two equally gorgeous children, for a brilliant day out at Wimpole Farm in Cambridgeshire yesterday.
It was so lovely (as it always is) to catch up with my friend, whilst our babies played and Captain Daddy @brdk bombed around after the toddlers with boundless energy: pushing them on the ride-on... tractors, challenging them at the adventure playground, giving them shoulder rides and most joyously, charging across the field with both of them - I'd guess c. 30kg of children - in his arms, pretending to be a horse 😂 The sheer joy on their faces and the sound of their laughter was infectious.
Parenting is really fucking hard, at times. Lately, we've been finding it particularly tough to find balance in our busy lives: with 2 tiny people to look after, the challenges of tandem breastfeeding, my insane sleep deprivation and all the joys that brings with it, our businesses to run, a home to keep in some semblance of order, family shit to deal with, my yoyo-ing hormones and a relationship to nurture... it's not always easy!
Someone once told me: "It's ok... you're just in 'the tunnel'..."
Yesterday, I saw the light - for what felt like the first time in a long time: in a halo around this man 😇
When the going gets tough, it's all too easy to point the finger and lay the blame for your troubles on those nearest and dearest to you.
Yesterday, I fell in love with this man all over again. Thank you for standing by me through the bad times and the good 💖
*They say it takes a village to raise a child... why not join ours, this Thursday @poplarunion from 10.30 💖

Massive high-fives going out to this amazing mama! 🤩 Thank you for your kind words 😊 and for sharing your story to inspire others 💖
I feel so honoured to be invited to work with couples during this most precious time in their lives. To receive feedback and to read their birth stories makes my heart swell with happiness. 🤗
This wonderful mama worked super hard putting into practise all that she learnt during our time together ~ plus all the homework I gave her 😉
... After an unpleasant first birth experience, she was keen to find strategies to help her manage her anxiety, help her to relax and feel in control second time round. This is exactly why she chose hypnobirthing.
Her hardwork paid off and she achieved the VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) she had been hoping for! 👶🎉
Whilst I work with many 1st time parents, I specialise in working privately with parents approaching birth for the 2nd/3rd+ time who want a better birth experience.
I tailor my programme to meet the unique needs of each couple and include a comprehensive antenatal education package as well as a tried and tested hypnobirthing tool kit to help you achieve the right birth for you and your baby.
If you'd like to know more, follow the link in my bio, or send me a message, I'd love to chat 💖
And, if you'd like to share your positive birth story and inspire others, I'd absolutely love to hear from you, please get in touch 🤗

Breathe in slowly and fully, through your nose.... then release, gradually, through gently parted lips.
On your next inhale, say to yourself: "let"... and on the exhale: "go"...
Keep going... breathing in, slowly, deeply and fully through your nose and releasing, letting go, steadily and softly through gently parted lips.
... This breathing technique is sometimes known as wave breathing as you experience the rise and fall of your abdomen, like a wave, with each inhale and exhale.
It's the technique I refer to with my hypnobirthing clients as 'Up Breathing': used during the first stage of labour as the muscles of the uterus are drawing up during a surge, or wave.
Minimal muscular effort is needed, so it in no way inhibits the working of the uterine muscles at this important time.
Some people like to count, I prefer not to, because I believe that everyone's natural breath length differs and can change throughout your pregnancy and labour, but by all means, count if you like - follow your own rhythm.
It may seem simple, but it's in the practise that you will experience this breath's power.
The aim is to be able to switch off your busy thinking brain and move instinctively into a space of deep, powerful breathing and relaxation when you need it most.
This breathing technique is not only paramount during your labour, it's a technique that will serve you well as you journey into parenthood. It's a fabulous skill to draw upon when calm is needed.

We did some private sessions with Helen at our house to prepare for our 2nd child. I had a not very pleasant birth experience the first time around with a crash c-section and was pretty nervous about giving birth again. Helens course was just what we needed - she helped me let go of my fears and feel relaxed and empowered. She's so upbeat and inspiring, I'd challenge anyone not to feel inspired after spending time with her! We had a successful VBAC and I know doing this course really got me in the best mindset and taught me breathing and relaxation techniques to help me achieve that. Would absolutely recommend.

I had a placenta smoothie and some raw placenta capsules from Helen. To start with, she came to the hospital to collect my placenta. I was overdue and wasn't sure when my baby would arrive and it was reassuring to know Helen could be flexible about it. I ended up staying longer than expected at the hospital and again, Helen was very flexible about when she could come to prepare the smoothie for me. The smoothie was actually very nice and you couldn't taste anything than the strawberries and bananas! I also felt more energized the following day, which after a c-section and some complications was very helpful in enabling me to breastfeed my son. A lot of people were shocked when I told them I would consume my own placenta. I just want to say, this has felt the most natural thing ever and knowing this was good for my son made it all worth it. Helen was fantastic all the way, especially as I did everything at the last minute! She also gave me some good advice when she came to my house and I could see how passionate she is about what she does. To Helen: thank you so much for everything!
