The Activator
@newsoulbirth
I know that you know exactly what you want...
You know exactly what kind of birth you want.
And you know exactly what kind of parent you’re going to be.
Because you’ve already done the research…
You already have it all planned out....
You've already got everything under control....
And you're not even there yet.
To most people you appear calm, confident and ready to take it all in your stride.
But I know you.
Oh, if your Google search bar could talk...
...it would confirm everything I already know about you.
It would tell me about all of the times you researched questions you already knew the answer to.
It would reveal all of the ways that you looked for confirmation that your choices are the right ones.
But more than that, it would tell me that you just want to know what you should do.
It would tell me that you just want to do this journey the right way.
It would reveal just how important it is for you keep your grip on all of this.
To feel in control in the face of so many unknowns.
Turn down the volume on the what ifs & worst case scenarios
It's time to stop overthinking and second guessing what you want for birth and life afterwards...
Stop working so hard to figure out what the best decision for you is...
Stop using Google to confirm that your way is the right way...
It's time to cut through the noise in and around you and drill down to what really matters to you.
It's time to tune in with yourself and trust that whatever the journey ahead brings, you will be able to navigate it with confidence and ease because you truly know yourself.
The Activator is for you if...
You know that passively consuming information isn't going to be enough for you - you want to be an active participant in the journey ahead.
You're a confident, high-achieving action taker but you're not quite sure where to start when it comes to getting ready for birth and beyond.
You're ready to reclaim the headspace that's currently occupied by all of the 'shoulds' and unsolicited advice.
You want to stop second guessing yourself and communicate what you want in pregnancy, birth and life afterwards with confidence.
You want to find ways to feel in control even in the face of lots of uncertainty.
You want to find peace in the unpredictability and feel calm regardless of what's happening around you.
It's time to break free from the overthinking & catastrophising so that you can activate the part of yourself that knows how to confidently handle whatever comes your way.
What's inside The Activator
Expert 1:1 guidance in 4 x 90 minute sessions from a well-seasoned mindset coach and mum of 3 (hey, it’s me!). The sessions have been expertly designed to combine enhanced antenatal education and transformational coaching tools to help you cut through the noise, overcome your fears and really tune in to what matters to you on the road ahead. Together we will work on activating a level of self-trust and confidence you didn't know was possible so that you can navigate whatever the journey ahead brings with ease and resilience.
Unlimited 1:1 support 4 days a week, for 6 weeks via a dedicated messaging app. This is where you will get real time support as you pick through information that you’re given during antenatal appointments, navigate challenging scenarios and deal with anxious or unhelpful thoughts as they pop up on the lead up to birth. This side order of ‘coaching in your pocket’ might sound small but I promise it packs a punch and I’ve been known to guide people through some pretty mega mindset breakthroughs in these messaging apps.
A comprehensive resource library packed with tools, written guides, templates and recorded materials for the journey ahead.
Instant access to my BRAND NEW online community for life after birth as soon as the doors open in the Winter.
Our Sessions
1. Tune In
It’s time to clear out the mental clutter – no more what ifs or shoulds. No more getting totally bogged down by what this person says or that person recommends. It's time to tune in to what you really want for the journey ahead. This session is about cutting through all of the useless noise so that you can start writing your own story for pregnancy, birth and beyond - one that truly reflects you. In this session we will plot the starting point on our roadmap to birth and beyond. You will also experience The Activator - my signature mindset shifter designed to turn what ifs into ways forward.
3. Unshakeable Era
This session is designed to empower you with the tools and mindset to navigate birth and postpartum with unwavering confidence. You'll learn to tap into your inner strength and develop the calm, focused resilience to handle whatever comes your way. This session will help you cultivate a state of flow, enabling you to trust yourself fully and embrace every challenge with confidence and ease. By the end, you'll step into a new era of self-assurance, prepared not only for birth but for life beyond, with the knowledge that you are unshakeable.
2. Know Your Birth
I know you’re not a wing it kinda gal and neither am I. And whilst it can be hard to know exactly how this is gonna go (even under the strictest clinical conditions), avoiding it altogether isn’t the answer. For so many of us birth, however it happens, is still such an unknown. We tend to have a base-level understanding of where a baby grows and how they get out, but that’s kind of it. Whether you’re having a vaginal or caesarean birth, in this session we will get into the nitty-gritty so that you come away with a strong understanding of how your birth will actually work.
4. The Blueprint
This session focuses on crafting a personalized roadmap for your birth and postpartum journey. Together, we’ll dive into the logistics of childbirth, creating a tailored plan that aligns with your unique needs and desires. We'll map out every step forward, from the moment labour begins to navigating postpartum life, ensuring you feel confident and prepared. This session is all about turning your vision into a clear, actionable strategy, empowering you to step into the next chapter of your life with certainty, clarity, and purpose.
Your questions answered.
Q: Is this a Hypnobirthing course? Hypnobirthing is embedded in the foundations of this programme but only really forms a small part of what I will be delivering. The educational piece of this programme is a lot broader than a standard Hypnobirthing course because it's bolstered with much deeper insights rooted in Psychology and Coaching the Unconscious Mind. We will spend a lot more time actively working on your mindset with powerful, confidence-building tools (not just 'positive thinking') as we map out your journey to birth and new parenthood.
Q: I'm planning an elective c-section, is this programme still suitable for me? Absolutely! I truly believe that you can be an active participant and the main character in ANY birth - even one that takes place under strict clinical conditions. Because even though there will be certain protocols and procedures followed on the lead up to your abdominal birth, there is still so much within your control and so much you have a say in. It doesn't have to be a passive experience or something that happens to you. You can be as involved as you want to be - even to the point where you are delivering your baby abdominally with your own hands (yes! It can be done!). This programme has also been designed to have a powerful ripple effect so that you can use the knowledge and tools gained to navigate life after birth. This might show up in the way that you set and communicate your boundaries as you recover after surgery or in the way that you tap into feelings of calmness and ease when riding the postpartum rollercoaster.
Q: Can my birth partner go through the programme with me? It's a hard YES from me! I am a big advocate for birth partner prep not just for labour but for those days and weeks after birth. Also, getting into a good team working dynamic during pregnancy will only serve you well as you move through labour and postpartum life. Having a clear sense of where the other is in their thoughts, feelings and beliefs and being able to communicate that effectively is the cornerstone of any well functioning relationship. And in the midst of those sleepless night and hazy, sleep-deprived days, you'll be glad you've got these strategies to fall back on.
The Activator was born when I gave birth to my 3rd baby earlier this year. It mirrors my own activation process and transformation which saw me go from an overthinking 'control freak' to someone who is able to confidently lead herself through anything, whether it's birth or parenting challenges. It's been years in the making for me, but I'm taking you through it in 6-weeks. So strap yourself in.
Come along for the ride...
You probably know this about me by now but I'm so much more than a positive vibes only kinda gal. When it comes to pregnancy, birth and beyond, I'm here for all of it - the good and the hard parts. I'm no longer trying to meet my own unrealistic standards but lean into the full range of experiences that I get to have. And most of the time I'm doing it out loud on my Instagram. Come join me?
