      <image:title>Blog - Let’s Talk About: Informed Choice in Pregnancy (what it means and why it matters). - “Informed choice”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Is a phrase that’s used often in pregnancy care - but rarely explained properly. For many women, it ends up feeling like a box-ticking exercise: information is given quickly, recommendations are made, and consent is assumed. But true informed choice is something very different. In pregnancy and birth, informed choice means understanding what is being offered, why it’s being offered, what the benefits and risks are, what the alternatives might be, and what happens if you choose to wait or decline. Most importantly, it means being supported to make the decision that feels right for you — not the one that feels easiest for the system. Informed choice is not about being “anti-intervention” or insisting on a particular type of birth. Many women choose interventions thoughtfully and feel completely at peace with those decisions. The key difference is that the choice is conscious, not rushed or fear-driven.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Let’s Talk About: Informed Choice in Pregnancy (what it means and why it matters). - I’m currently building a membership designed to help parents navigate maternity care with clarity, confusion and collaboration.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Informed choice is a whole pillar of what I teach - alongside advocacy, understanding how maternity care works, and navigating complexity when care doesn’t feel straightforward. If this approach resonates, you’re welcome to join the waitlist and you will be updated when it’s doors open. No spam, just intentional updates when it’s ready.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Hi, I’m Ellie</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’ve been supporting families for over 5 years as a hypnobirthing teacher, birth and postnatal doula, and birth trauma practitioner. My support brings together the practical realities of maternity care, and the emotional impact it can have during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. Alongside seeing how quickly confidence can be shaken when care feels rushed, pressured or hard to navigate, I’ve seen the difference truly supportive, individualised care can make. When families feel informed, held, and supported, it can change not just their experience of birth, but how they step into parenthood. This is where my passion lies. Read more about my story and my approach here.</image:caption>
