Tailored preparation for neurodivergent people and VBAC families

Everyone deserves support that fits them. My ND and VBAC preparation sessions are designed to help you feel informed, confident and in control, in a way that works for your brain and your birth.

Practical support, honest conversations and preparation that makes sense to you.

  • Information about VBAC; risks, benefits and evidence

  • Exploring your options and what it might look like for you

  • Preparing for conversations with your maternity team

  • Support with fears, worries and previous birth experiences

  • Birth preferences and planning

  • Emotional support every step of the way

VBAC preparation that empowers

Planning a VBAC can come with a lot of questions and mixed messages. I’ll help you feel informed, supported and confident in the choices that are right for you.
