A NEW year and a NEW Guidebook

Where I’ve Been in 2025 (And Why It’s a Good Thing)

If you’ve been wondering why I’ve been a little quieter during 2025, I wanted to share the honest reason.

I haven’t disappeared — I’ve been deep in creation mode.

This past year I’ve had my head down writing our brand new hypnobirthing guidebook for 2026, and I can genuinely say it’s been one of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever worked on. I didn’t want to release “just another edition.” I wanted to create something that feels like the clearest, most supportive companion for pregnancy and birth — the kind of book that actually gets used, highlighted, and returned to when you need it most.

Why a New Edition?

Because birth education should never stand still.

Over the years, I’ve listened closely to parents, teachers, doulas, and midwives. I’ve heard what’s helped, what’s been missing, what’s confused people, and what needs to be simpler, stronger, and more practical. And I’ve taken all of that into this new book.

It’s built around what real families need:

• a clear plan (so you’re not overwhelmed)

• simple tools (so you can actually practise)

• confidence-building guidance (so you feel ready, not just informed)

The Quiet Was Purposeful

I know consistency online matters — but I also know the difference between “being visible” and “doing the work that truly serves you.”

2025 has been about depth over noise. It’s been about protecting time to write, refine, and shape something that can support thousands of parents in a way that feels calm, empowering, and grounded.

And Now I’m Back — With Something Shiny And New

As we step into 2026, I’m excited to share what I’ve been building. This book is more than a guidebook — it’s the heart of The Wise Hippo approach, refined and refreshed, ready to help you prepare for birth in a way that feels strong and steady.

Thank you for being here, and thank you for your patience while I’ve been behind the scenes.

The next chapter starts now.
