*** Waterbirth Photo Competition ***

Twin Mama Jade has entered a lovely birthing photo into a waterbirth photo competition. The photo was taken moments after baby Bodhi had been born into his mothers arms, and his twin sister, Maya was still in the womb. Maya had been in the breech position until Bodhi had birthed leaving her room to manouver and birthed head down 18 minutes after Bodhi made his way into the world. In the picture you can see Maya getting into position to birth.

Jade had a beautiful natural home waterbirth for her twins, and will be writing her blog all about it when she has some time, at the moment she is enjoying her babymoon!

here is the competition link, please do vote, and feel free to share:

New Lamaze Classes!

I am very exited to be in the finishing touches of preparing to teach my first Lamaze classes next month and am really feeling positive about the Lamaze message helping to promote natural birthing. The six healthy birth practices are simple yet effective, and this is going to be the most wonderful way of bringing my yoga, massage and of course, Doula experience all together to establish courses which help women prepare for an empowered birth experience..

here is a link to my new website:- http://www.lamazebirthing.co.uk/

please do have a look and let me know what you think!

thank you!

.....Welcome Baby Willow Rose!!!!.....

Welcome to the world Willow Rose, born at home, in the water last week. Mum Jo did wonderfully walking throughout labour before retreating to a darkened living room with gentle music playing. Baby Willow was gently birthed in the water before the midwife arrived, and all was well. Congratulations to Jo and Eddy, and thank you Rebecca, co-doula for being part of a magical evening!
