I’m Sophie, and as a Registered Midwife, childbirth educator and Mum of two, the one thing I am most passionate about is empowering mothers in their birthing journeys.

There are three reasons why I feel the need to teach this program in order to do just that – Rising intervention rates, rising birth trauma and the vast contrast between the experience I had birthing my son (without any preparation) versus birthing my daughter. Her birth was calm, empowering and positive and that is thanks to this program.

Her birth made me realise the path my career needed to take. I believe that all birthing mothers have the right and ability to experience empowering, positive births. I want to be part of the positive change. I believe that knowledge is power so I want to spread the knowledge to ensure all birthing mothers realise their strength and know that they can achieve a positive birth – whatever that looks like to them. If it’s their informed decision, if it’s what they are comfortable with and it’s what makes them feel full of endorphins while birthing their baby, I know it can be done… and I want to help them achieve it!
