About Poppy
My journey began after the empowering and transformative birth experience I had with my daughter. After giving birth I knew my life was about to change, I felt a fire ignite inside me. Since that moment I have been devoted to spreading positive and empowering information about birth.
I have developed my own Hypnobirthing course, produced a popular podcast and created a digital birthing program: Birth Box.
Most recently I teamed up with the huge Mumas & Papas, Motherly and the App Peanut - it’s been busy!
But above all of this I do this work because of the transformation I witness in my clients. Bit by bit, throughout the course I see their whole perspective on birth change. Until the very end where they are SO ready to take charge and rock their birth.
Meeting your baby is not the perfect picture we are sold, but rather a beautifully awkward moment.
I have educated and inspired hundreds of women around the world now and I have also been attending births here in London. It is an absolute privilege to be able to be with my clients during birth, to hold the space for them and witness them flow with the rhythm of their labour and experience the power of birth. I’ve learned so much on my journey so far and I cannot wait to share my knowledge and wisdom with you so that you too, get to experience birth as a positive and fulfilling life experience.
MY WORK
MY JOURNEY
I was pregnant and due to give birth in the midst of a global pandemic. Everything was uncertain and highly stressful. Midwife and Antenatal NCT appointments were cancelled and the prospect of giving birth on my own was slowly becoming a potential reality. Despite all of this, I was determined to have a positive birth experience. Our daughter’s birth although challenging was also magnificent and transformational. I am definitely not the same woman I was before I gave birth.
The process of birth bought me back to my most primitive self. I tapped into a power I did not know existed. Watching our baby come into this world, along with the bodily mess, was something that will never ever leave me. It was not the perfect picture we are sold, but rather a beautifully awkward moment. Two human beings meeting for the first time. I can't say I felt the rush of love that everyone talks about but what I did feel was a sense of wonder.
The birth of Juniper changed my life in so many ways, after that moment I knew that I was embarking on a different path, I had to spread this positive information about birth. I retrained to become a Hypnobirthing instructor and now spend most of my time educating and helping women about birth.
I want to make sure that women feel pumped and ready for birth & help their body do what it was meant to do
Seen on socials
Two years ago I decided to set up my Tiktok account in order to help pregnant women on a much larger scale. I wanted to talk about the very real, sticky, sometimes frightening parts of pregnancy and labour and show women that - yes, it's not all fairy lights and roses, but you can approach birth with positivity and a 'let's do this' kind of attitude!
From then, my account has grown to over 60,000 followers and I continually share important facts and advice based off questions that come directly from you!
