Hypnobirthing classes in York

I had the most amazing call yesterday with a totally kick ass woman who just seems to ‘get’ me!

You know that feeling when you just feel someone's energy and it can set even the smallest of sparks alight! 

And for me there’s just nothing better than that energy, the connection - it's where the magic happens and it's contagious. 

Here’s the thing, the real me…is the one that she can see.

The one who drops the ‘C’ bomb un-apologetically in the groups, who loves to laugh and who loves connection.

The bit of me that has to stay inside the lines is still welcome when there's no escaping the bull shit set of rules, but for my work...it's my prerogative and I need to be me. 

I just don't fit neatly in the box. I know sometimes it can be safe and comfortable there, but it's the box I'm often asking my couples to climb out of. 

My message is all about looking outside of the box...lifting the lid and finding out more.

Sometimes breaking the 'rules' or at least breaking through the bull shit!

There have been moments in the last week (half term) where I have literally found myself breathless looking at my boys – it’s like my heart explodes with so much love, my chest gets so full and I lose my breath!

I sometimes manage to say it out loud and they give that look that I think only your children can…the one that otherwise would make me feel like you're from another planet! 

I do just love them though – so much.

These moments tend to mostly come when they are still and silent and I guess that's not dissimilar to what I remember when they were babies and we'd spend hours trying to just get a moment and put them down and then proceed to spend all of that time watching them sleep or checking they were breathing.

I know it sounds awful or maybe I just think it does, but I guess it's in those quie...
