Hello, I'm Philippa

When My Birth Plan Went Out The Window...

I had no idea it would change everything.

Not just the birth that didn't go to plan. Not just the isolation that followed. But that moment, sitting alone at 3am with a newborn, when I realized: This isn't what I thought motherhood would feel like.

The Middle-of-the-Night Truth

You know those thoughts that creep in during the quiet hours?

  • "I should be better at this"

  • "Everyone else seems to have it figured out"

  • "Why is this so hard for me?"

  • "I thought I'd feel... different"

I had them all. And then some.


These Days, I:

  • Help parents heal from birth experiences

  • Support families in finding their way

  • Guide birth workers in their practice

  • Write about the real stuff of parenting

  • Host The Family Architect podcast

  • Build communities where it's okay to be real

I've been there. Not just professionally as a:

  • Perinatal Therapist

  • Family Coach

  • TRTP Practitioner

But personally. As a mum who's moved through the hard parts and found her way to the other side.

The Story Behind Fantastic Futures

Four kids, one grandchild, and twenty+ years of birth work later, I've learned something important: Those struggles weren't failures. They were the beginning of something bigger.

Every:

  • Birth that didn't go to plan

  • Moment of feeling lost

  • Question I was afraid to ask

  • Doubt that kept me awake

Led me here. To creating the support I wished I'd had.

What Twenty+ Years Has Taught Me

  • There's no such thing as a perfect parent

  • Support changes everything

  • Healing is possible

  • Connection matters more than perfection

  • Your story isn't over yet.
