Are you pregnant or newly postpartum and looking for that community where you can show up as you are and talk about whatever is going on for you in your pregnancy / parenting journey? Do you crave a warm cup of tea and a friendly chat as much as you do valuable information about pregnancy and childbirth? If so, welcome to Tea and Birthy Stuff!

Introducing Tea & Birthy Stuff

I believe that every expecting family deserves a safe and comforting space to discuss the many facets of pregnancy and childbirth. Unfortunately OB appointments these days leave little time for talking about anything non-medical and 2am Google searches can leave you feeling scared, disconnected, and with more questions than answers. That's why I've created this free bi-weekly online gathering, inspired by the heartwarming tradition of sitting around a kitchen table with a cup of tea.

Welcome!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Emma. I've worked in the realm of childbirth since 2007, as  a birth doula, postpartum doula, prenatal and postpartum massage therapist and as a Lamaze certified childbirth educator.  Basically, I spend my time helping expecting parents find their way to a better pregnancy and birth experience. When I'm giving people massages, they often ask me questions about birth or pregnancy that either they forgot to ask their doctor or just didn't feel they could. Hopes and fears about childbirth come up or they bounce things off me that they read on the internet or heard from a friend. When this happens, I often find myself wishing there was a community where pregnant folks could get together to chat about whatever is going on from them; learn from me yes, but most importantly, hear from each other.

I'm British, and in England, if you want to have a chat in community, you'd sit around the kitchen table with a nice cup of tea and "have a natter". While I wish I could invite you to my kitchen table, I came up with the next best thing: Tea & Birthy Stuff

Our clients say:

A short perspective from a Dad's point of view: Emma was a phenomenal support to both my wife and I during both pregnancy and delivery. I credit the pre-birth conversations and tutorials for making us both feel more comfortable with what to expect, and how to prepare. And when the big day itself came, Emma was a champion. Emma was calm, collected, thoughtful and supportive throughout the process. She gave me great tips on how I could support my wife, in addition to directly helping with massage and other activities to ease the pains of the labor process. I think the thing that I appreciated most about having Emma there was I was able to discreetly ask questions about what was happening when the birth started to get a little dicey towards the end. Having her there allowed me to decrease my anxiety and get my questions answered without bothering the doctor or distracting my wife. And of course, that is to say nothing of the coaching and support that she gave my wife, which was also invaluable. All in all, we really, really appreciated having Emma's help with the birth of our first child" ~ Jacob
