Mother Nesty, Nesty Birth and Beyond

I know I could scale Mount Everest in a raincoat and it wouldn't come close to how incredible I felt after giving birth to my first child.

Which is wild because after my first midwifery appointment I wanted a caesarean under general anaesthetic. I was THAT afraid of birth.

What changed was preparation. I chose to learn how the body is designed for birth, I looked at the actual evidence behind interventions, and I started to believe in my own capabilities.

This approach came naturally to me - I'm a user experience researcher, so I'm used to questioning and making sense of evidence, and I understand what real advocacy is.

But really, those are teachable skills. And that's where I can help you to take ownership of your birth experience.

I work with people who are proactive, who want to play an active role in their birth experience, and who recognise that preparation for one of the most significant experiences of your life is worth investing in. My goal is that by the time we part ways, you don't need me - you feel informed, confident, and ready for whatever comes.
