This month we welcome local Midwife Kirsty Crimmins as our Guest speaker to talk about the Mind, Body, Birth Connection.

Bring a plate to share, and your mum friends while we chat casually in a warm and friendly environment. 

Kirsty is a mum of 2, a Nurse, Midwife, Calm Birth educator and an Acuneedling Practitioner.

Kirsty will talk about what happens in the body during birth and how you can best support this process, beginning with antenatal preparation. By understanding how your mind and body work together and preparing well, you can approach birth with confidence.

A woman’s emotional well-being leading up to and during birth can greatly influence how her body functions during birth. Anxiety, fear, and stress can negatively impact the birth process, while confidence and relaxation can enhance it.
