Join us to chat with Adam, a birth partner who got in touch with us and wanted to share his story!

When pregnant with their first baby, Adam’s wife decided that hypnobirthing was going to be part of their birth preparation.

Adam found it very useful and played a really active role in preparing for the big day and the day itself. There were nerves at times but he knew how important his role was and he threw himself into it.

Have a listen to his story about his badass wife and his little wriggler ♥️

Emily joins Jade and Alix to talk about baby sleep- What’s normal and what should we look out for? Emily talks about what sort of stuff she looks at as a holistic sleep practitioner and what she wishes was available to all parents from pregnancy through parenthood.

With both Jade and Alix having experience with tongue tie, airway issues and poor sleep with their own children, it’s a subject that we have become super interested in over the years.

Emily is such a wealth of knowledge on not just sleep, but all the other issues that we can see as normal as a society but are actually red flags and can have a big impact on sleep and wellbeing.
