In this episode, I sit down with Charlotte - a former client (and now close friend) whose birth unfolded in the most instinctive, powerful way imaginable. After navigating trauma from her first birth, Charlotte spent her second pregnancy rebuilding trust in her body, questioning the system, and reclaiming her voice.

What began as a plan for a home birth with midwives became an “accidental” (but not so accidental) freebirth - a calm, intuitive experience that showed just how deeply a woman’s body knows what to do when she feels safe and supported.

We talk about debriefing birth trauma, the illusion of control in the maternity system, what it means to birth in full autonomy, and the quiet strength that comes from doing the internal work - not just learning techniques, but truly believing you can do it.

Charlotte’s story is one of reclamation, power, and pure physiological birth - the kind that reminds us why women deserve to be trusted.

What if your body already knows how to grow, carry, and birth your baby - and chiropractic care simply helps you remember that?

In this episode, I’m joined by Sally, The Pregnancy Chiropractor, to talk all things alignment, balance, and body connection in pregnancy. We dive into what chiropractic care actually involves (it’s gentler than you think), how it supports your pelvis, ligaments, and nervous system, and why so many pregnant people notice improved comfort, better sleep, and even smoother births after regular adjustments.

Whether you’re navigating back pain, pelvic tension, or just want to feel more at home in your body as it changes, this conversation will give you insight into how aligned structure leads to easeful function — and how your spine and nervous system can be your secret superpower for birth.

Tune in to learn:

• How chiropractic care supports the body through pregnancy
• The connection between alignment, comfort, and optimal foetal positioning
• Common myths (and what’s actually true) about seeing a chiropractor in pregnancy
• Practical ways to work with your body, not against it

In this episode, I sit down with Chloe to talk about her intuitive freebirth - a powerful, grounded, and deeply self-led experience. Chloe shares how she prepared for birth by protecting her energy, following her instincts, and embracing her neurodivergence as a source of wisdom rather than a challenge to overcome.

Together, we explore what it means to find true safety in birth, how intuition can guide decision-making when logic runs out of road, and the quiet power of saying “no” to what doesn’t feel right. Chloe’s story moves from careful preparation to a semi-planned freebirth - and the calm, instinctive trust that carried her through it all.

This conversation is a reminder that birth doesn’t need to look one way to be powerful. It’s about self-trust, sovereignty, and the unshakeable knowing that you and your baby already have everything you need.
