Hi, I am Karen
I know from personal experience and professionally as a midwife how important preparation is to your positive birth experience.
Let’s talk about we can best prepare you mentally, emotionally and physically for birth.
Supporting you during pregnancy, meeting your baby and transitioning to parenting with ease.
Let me introduce myself
Registered Midwife
Maternal and Child Health Nurse
Registered Nurse
Masters in Child, Family and Community Health
Mindful Mama Practitioner
Mum to three boys
Co-founder of Talkingbirth - a maternity app designed to support shared decision making in pregnancy care.
I have worked in the UK and Australia in public and private hospitals as a Midwife.
Having supported 1000’s of couples as they prepare for birth and parenting, I know that we underestimate what giving birth asks of us and vastly over estimate what current maternity services can provide.
I also know that how you feel about your birth matters, really matters. How you reflect on the transformative experience of birth affects how you parent. It affects our closest relationships and our ability to nurture our new family.
Vaginal birth or caesarean birth – it matters that you feel prepared, supported in your choices and ready to meet your baby.
Positivebirth workshops
In 2017 I founded Positivebirth to provide couples with the tools, information and confidence to make whatever birth is right for you truly positive.
Group classes
Hypnobirthing for labour and birth – a one-day workshop
