I’m Tricia Murray and I support women and men who are anxious, worried and overwhelmed about getting pregnant, giving birth or being a new mums and dads to feel strong, calm, confident and positive. I want you to achieve the best possible mindset over time period so you can enjoy pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
Here’s how I can support you:
- Through the Birth and Baby Academy – an online community with access to resources, programmes and classes.
- Emotional support around fertility including reducing stress and anxiety and giving you a positive mindset or coming to a resolution
- In your pregnancy really focusing on getting you prepared and confident and into the right mindset you for birth and parenthood
- Through your birth and with your baby – one to one doula birth and postnatal support
- Mums and Mums to Be and Dads and Dads to be with birth preparation programmes, parenting programmes, birth trauma recovery, EFT therapy for stress, depression, anxiety or overwhelm and one to one support
- Birthworkers to get over events or blocks you are having with clients or with your business and having a much more positive mindset working with clients
- Other support I offer for those not having babies – it could be support to get over life’s events, EFT therapy for a variety of personal issue including fears and phobias, stress, overwhelm, mild depression, anxiety
My main interests and expertise is around supporting mums and dads around pregnancy, birth and early parenting:
- To build a positive and adaptable mindset
- To achieve a calm, relaxed and positive birth
- To remove/reduce fear and anxiety around birth or parenting
- To navigate through the maternity system smoothly
- To ensure birth choices/birth rights are well represented
- Through perinatal mental health illness (ie antenatal/postnatal depression, anxiety, OCD, birth related PTSD)
- To support the birth you want for twins/multiples including postnatal and feeding support
- To work through birth trauma (for both mums and dads) and have positive subsequent birth experiences
- To enjoy being a new parent
- Exploring options around c-sections including having a Vaginal Birth After a C-Section (VBAC), repeat c-section or gentle c-sections
- Through their IVF/Infertility/fertility journey and subsequent birth and parenting experience
- To understand what it’s like to become a parent through an education programme which helps promote a realistic understanding a newborn baby and how they function, and how you as a parent, can support that baby whilst also ensuring your needs are met
I believe strongly women and men can reflect positively on their birth and parenting experiences regardless of place and mode of delivery, when they have made their own decisions from a place of education and empowerment, not fear and anxiety.
Working with me though my birth and early parenting programmes, means you are much more likely to:
- Have a better birth and parenting experience
- Enjoy your baby – the huge transition of becoming a parent will be smoother
- Feel that you are coping
- Understand your new baby and have tools and techniques to use in those first few weeks
- Have stronger attachment with your baby (that’s the bond that makes your baby feel safe)
- Be at less risk of postnatal depression, anxiety and other perinatal mental health illnesses
- Be more likely to exclusively breastfeed you baby at six weeks and beyond
Here’s how now you can get to know more about me –
- Book an appointment
- Join my Nurturing Parents facebook group
- Follow me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter
- I also run regular information sessions with my colleagues at Edinburgh Birth and Baby, a local Edinburgh collective that I established – these women rock – they are by far the best providers in Edinburgh and I know that referring you to them, you are in safe hands of professionals that care deeply about the clients they work with.
Much love, Tricia xx
