You may have noticed that I’ve been a bit quiet over the last 12 months, as life has been a little, shall we say, up and down. Without going into bucketloads of detail, overwhelm got the better of me and I took some time out to work on my mental health. I’ve also undergone some pretty major surgery on my spine and I’ve been trying hard to be kind to myself. On top of that I’ve also been really fortunate to start a new job working as a Midwifery Care Assistant at my local hospital. I absolutely love this job and I feel so very lucky to do it! I meet new parents day in, day out and seeing them adjust to their new lives with their new babies is just more rewarding than I can describe. I pinch myself every shift that I get to be there and witness such magic.

But, after much reflection and procrastination, I have decided to come back to teaching hypnobirthing and antenatal classes alongside my work in the NHS. It hasn’t been an easy decision, my confidence took an almighty nosedive but after sitting here and reading all the incredibly kind testimonials I’ve received over the years, and a good old heart to heart with family and friends, I can’t put it off any more. I miss you guys, miss working with families antenatally, miss the friendships I make and the rapport I build up, miss the birth stories and the tears shed over birth announcements and I can’t keep away any longer.

So, spread the word, tell your friends, I’m back and I can’t wait to see you all and continue building these amazing relationships and sharing these special times with you. Let’s do this!!

Big love, Charlotte xx
