The Cabbage Patch
The Cabbage Patch is a doula service covering the whole of the perinatal period.
Enough said 💚
Is it time to set down the trauma you have been carrying? Is it time to deal with those strong feelings that are holding you back?
There is a gentle and safe way to be free and to move forwards with a lighter step.
Introducing the 3 step rewind method. An NLP approach to processing strongly negative emotions and feelings associated with traumatic events and for processing phobias.
In a series of three, one hour sessions, we will use relaxation and rewind techniques to help tidy these experiences away. You won't forget the experience but when you move forward after this process the experience won't cause you so much distress.
This is a method that has been proven to help thousands of people and that is safe, gentle and effective. You do not even need to talk about your negative experience for this process to work.
This process works with recent experiences as well as historical trauma that you may have been carrying for years.
I am opening my books for new 3 step clients and this can delivered in person or, just as effectively, online.
At £150 for the course this really is an amazing investment in your future. A future where you can be free of those strong emotions and feelings associated with the trauma you have experienced.
Is it time to care for you?
I can help with that xx
An impending house move is encouraging me to shake up my doula offerings a little. I have loved being a doula for two years and want to continue in that role, but I need to change what I am offering.
I would like to introduce my new packages (some remaining) and whilst I work on updating the website, I'll give you a flavour here.
Pumpkin - a two hour package exploring the use of the Rebozo in pregnancy, labour and postpartum
Romanesco - a two hour package exploring the use of the labyrinth as a tool for our own wellbeing and parenting journey
Cauliflower - an hourly support call discussing all aspects of infertility options, IVF and surrogacy
Leek - a three hour package on all things preparing to breastfeed
Courgette - an hourly support call focussed on anything you like
Beetroot - a three hour package on all of the things you need to know when planning your homebirth
Carrot - a six hour package which is a full antenatal course
Parsnip - a ten hour package which is a full hypnobirthing and antenatal course. Private or group
Onion - a three hour package using the 3 step rewind technique to explore and help process traumatic feelings associated with birth (or indeed anything else, also phobias)
Family Value Box - my larger package for birthing families including a two hour antenatal session, a two hour postnatal session, a free birth essentials antenatal course, a free birth plan writing template and advice sheet and messaging support with me.
Cabbage - Instant hourly birth support/postnatal support.
More details to follow.
I hope to continue to support Lincolnshire families in a way that is cost effective and flexible.
Good doula care is irreplaceable and here The Cabbage Patch you will find attentive, passionate and holistic care from the beginning to the end of your journey 💚
What if I told you that there was a way to have a calm and confident birth (whatever birth looks like to you)!!
In hypnobirthing we understand how our bodies and babies work together to bring about the process of birth. We learn how to move our bodies, feed our bodies and care for our bodies to optimise the birth of our babies. Crucially though, we learn how to use the incredible power of our minds to influence the outcome of our births.
Regardless of the 'type' of birth you are planning or end up having, it is true that those using hypnobirthing have greater satisfaction with their birth experiences, feel calmer, more confident and more in control.
When we learn our true power, we become powerful in our own right. What could be more beautiful than birthing families being knowledgeable and informed when making decisions about their ideal birth scenarios.
I love to help families realise their strength and to understand how to stack the odds in their favour of a wonderful birthing experience.
Birth does not have to be dramatic, scary, difficult and dangerous. It can be, and should be, a magical transition. Let me show you how 💚

I work with the incredible resources and collective. This means that all families accessing my Parsnip course will receive all of the physical and online materials as part of the course price. This includes 6 exclusive and dreamy hypnobirthing tracks recorded and written by us. They will also receive their own hand labyrinth which we will use during the course. When you are signed up you get automatic access to the online community all studying birthprepinabox meaning that there are others to chat to and many things to learn.
We encourage our families to also do their own research on topics that matter to them and to this end we have a HUGE library of categorised and reliable sources, evidence and research to delve into. It really is invaluable not having to sift through pages and pages on Google not really knowing which you can believe/rely on and which you can't.
So.....the investment for the course is £250 per family and this includes everything you need plus 10 hours of group teaching. The groups will contain no more than 5 couples to keep things personal and allowing you to (hopefully) develop some friendships too!
This will be held at .nibaby in Moulton, Lincolnshire on a Sunday evening. 6 - 8.30 pm.
Dates are as follows:
June 2nd, 16th, 23rd and 30th
Aug 18th, 25th, 1st Sept, 8th Sept
Sept 22nd, 29th, 6th Oct, 12th Oct
Nov 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th
Please book directly with me at the moment by messaging until we have our booking system up and running. This course is suitable for any stage of pregnancy but works very well in 3rd trimester.
Cannot wait to see you all.
With love and best wishes,
Amy 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Incredible. - On the left you see a fully closed and thick cervix with mucus plug - prior to the onset labor. On the right you see a fully effaced and dilated cervix in labor. The image on the right also illustrates how contractions cause the upper part of the uterus (fundus) to tighten and thicken while the cervix and lower portion of the uterus stretch and relax, helping the baby pass from inside the uterus and into the birth canal for delivery.

Did you know that Dads also experience hormonal shifts and structural brain changes following the birth of their baby?
Researchers have found that emotionally
🤩involved fathers experience:
🤩increased oxytocin (the love hormone)
🤩increased dopamine (the happy hormone)
🤩reduced levels of testosterone (aggression,
s*x drive hormone)
🤩higher levels of prolactin (breastfeeding
hormone)
🤩higher levels of vasopressin (bonding
hormone)
Research has also shown that men who hold their
baby close within the first 24 hours following birth, report better bonding. Dads should definitely enjoy skin to skin too, just a half hour of skin-to-skin for dad essentially rewires their brain. I encourage dad to have his first skin to skin not long after birth, while mum enjoys her first (unforgettable and well deserved) shower.
Other benefits of skin to skin include:
🥰calms and relaxes both dad and baby
🥰regulates baby's heart rate, breathing, temperature and blood sugars; helping bub to better adapt to earthside life
🥰enables colonisation of baby's skin from the
natural flora which exists on dads skin, thus providing immunity and protection against infection.
"The brain also appears to undergo structural changes to ensure that fathers exhibit the key
skills of parenting. In 2014, Pilyoung Kim, a
developmental neuroscientist at the University of
Denver, put 16 new dads into an M.R.I. machine:
once between the first two to four weeks of their
baby's life, and again between 12 and 16 weeks.
Dr. Kim found brain changes that mirrored those
previously seen in new moms: Certain areas
within parts of the brain linked to attachment,
nurturing, empathy and the ability to interpret and react appropriately to a baby's behavior had more gray and white matter between 12 and 16 weeks than they did between two and four weeks."
- Dr Anna Machin, evolutionary anthropologist.

The time has come,' the Doula said, 'to talk of many things, of love and loss and baby slings, of cabbages and twins. Of choosing induction or not and what labour may bring.'
'But wait,' the pregnant people cried, 'before we have our chat, for some of us are out of breath and all of us are fat!'
'No hurry,' said the Doula and they thanked her much for that.
'A golden hour,' the Doula said, 'is what we chiefly need, breast and chest feeding besides are very good indeed, now if you're ready pregnant dears we can begin to read.'
'Do you know,' the pregnant cried, 'what we will go through, when will we have our babies, when will we be due?'
'The time will come,' the Doula said, 'when the time is right for you!'
'It was so kind of you to talk and you are very nice.' The Doula said nothing except, 'Not knowing comes at a price, Doulas support you in your choices but we do not give advice!'
'It seems a shame,' the pregnant said, 'to play us such a trick, after you've brought us out so far and made us trot so quick. We do not know how to choose or what choices to pick!'
'Ah my dears,' the Doula said, 'I deeply sympathise, but I can help you out with that, let us dry those eyes. The evidence that's here can help with things that may arise.'
'You have the power within yourself, you know that it is done. Please get a doula to support you and come and join the fun. A calm, unhurried birth you know, really is the one!!!!'
We had lots of fun writing this...not sure what Lewis Carroll would think 🙂
