birth MAPPING SESSIONS

---

Plans can be a beautiful way to visualise the birth of your dreams. But they only scratch the surface:

• They don’t invite the broader, deeper exploration needed to be confident and responsive when things change. 
• They are narrow, rigid, and unforgiving. 
• When things don’t go to plan, many parents are left feeling lost, stuck, or worse, like they’ve somehow failed.

That’s why I offer mapping instead.

Mapping:

• Doesn’t script a fixed path or box you in. 
• Is responsive and expansive. 
• Guides you through a landscape of possibilities: the turns, the detours, the “what ifs,” so you are ready to make aligned choices at any fork in the road. 

Because it’s not about controlling the journey. It’s about having the knowledge, support, and confidence to navigate it, no matter how it unfolds. 

The Positive Birth Program provides a solid foundation to explore your birth preferences in Unit 3, but our Birth Mapping Session takes it an important step further by offering deeply personalised support.

We can’t unpack the individual nuances that shape your birth map in a group setting, or within a set program. Here, we have the space to focus entirely on your family and your unique journey. 

Plus you’ll receive:

• 2-hour private zoom session tailored to your needs.
• Pre-session questionnaire to ensure we go straight to what matters most. 
• Your personalised birth map to clearly and confidently communicate your preferences.
• Curated resource list for further guidance.
• Ongoing message and email access for questions following the session.

This offering is for any family:

• feeling overwhelmed, lost, or unsure when it comes to their birth prep
• wanting to better understand their options 
• feeling like they didn’t know what they needed last time
• feeling that a strict birth plan failed or disappointed them last time
• wanting a different experience this time
• wanting to do what they can to have the positive experience they deserve 

I’ve worked with families:

• birthing for the first, second, third time
• birthing at home and in the hospital
• planning VBACs, inductions, caesarean births

This space is inclusive, evidence-based, and ready to support any family’s unique journey. 

I get it (truly). Investing in birth support can feel big, especially when you're already investing in prams, car seats, bassinets etc for the baby. And since this kind of support isn’t yet the norm, it’s normal to pause before saying yes. 

A few things to consider as you decide whether this stretch is possible:

• Tailored payment plans are always available.
• This is currently the most affordable way to work with me.
• This kind of investment takes your family well beyond your birthing day. 

Prams and baby gear eventually get packed away. But the value of birth and postpartum support lasts- impacting your baby and your family for life. 

If this feels aligned but financially tight, please reach out + we can explore solutions together.

That’s exactly why these sessions are designed to be flexible and time-saving:

• Online and accessible from anywhere
• Choose between one 2-hour session or two 1-hour sessions
• Pre-mapping questionnaire, birth mapping template, curated resource list and ongoing support to streamline the process
• No endless googling, we cut through the noise 

I hear you. Avoiding preparation might feel like protecting your peace but it can leave you facing decisions you weren’t ready for.

I hear it often: parents create a birth plan for an intervention-free birth, only to meet an unexpected fork in the road. Without exploring alternative routes ahead of time, they don’t feel equipped to make truly informed and aligned decisions at that defining crossroad.

Most second-time families I’ve worked with have shared this truth. 

Birth Mapping isn’t about adding more information to your plate; it’s about simplifying it. It’s not about adding pressure; it’s about easing it. 

Together, we sort through the noise and focus on what truly matters to you, so you can feel more grounded and confident instead of overloaded and lost.

Trusting your body and your baby is powerful, and preparation doesn’t take away from that. It protects your ability to flow with birth, not be swept along by the system.
