Poppy who created the course is a Doula, and passionate birth educator. 

Poppy uses a physiological technique called re-framing: to view the pain sensation as a healthy, functioning sensation that is going to bring your baby into this world.

The course enables women to hold the space to work through the physiological sensations of labour.

Prepare to meet your baby from 32 weeks with The Final Push raspberry leaf tea.

Raspberry leaf tea has traditionally been used to help ease your babies entrance into the world. It has been linked to shorter and more straightforward births in research. As well as potentially helping recovery too.

It's believed to help due to the fragarine that is found in raspberry leaves and the positive effect is has on uterine strength.

We've blended red raspberry leaves with whole peppermint to create a sweet, refreshing and comforting cuppa. It can not only help prepare for labour but also help aid digestion.

This tea is designed to be drunk from the third trimester. We recommend drinking 1 cup per day from 32 - 33 weeks, and providing you don't have braxton hicks as a result, increase this to 2 cups per day from 33 - 34 weeks. Then drink up to 3 cups a day from 34 weeks until your baby arrives.

Refreshingly minty and herbaceous.

Raspberry leaf does not taste like raspberries! It has a flavour akin to green tea, with subtle vegetal notes and a slight bitterness.

Whole leaf peppermint is sweeter and with a more intense mint flavour compared to a traditional tea bag.

In combination, they have a sweet and herby taste, with a thick mouthfeel.

We don’t recommend adding milk or sugar, but follow your cravings and personal taste!

Will Raspberry leaf make my baby come early?

The short answer is no. There's no real evidence to show that drinking raspberry leaf when you're overdue will kick things off. Instead, the evidence shows that it can lead to a shorter second stage and fewer interventions when you're delivering your baby. This is why we recommend drinking it as part of your birth preparation from 32 weeks.

When should I start drinking this tea?
You can start drinking raspberry leaf tea from 32 weeks. Have a maximum 3 cups a day. But we recommend having 1 cup a day from 32 weeks.

How much Raspberry Leaf is in this tea?
It is 40% raspberry leaf and 60% peppermint. This is to balance the flavour, and allow the peppermint to also help heartburn which is a major issue for many women at the end of pregnancy. Also, the raspberry leaf we use is whole leaf. This is so you can get more of it's benefits compared to dust, which is found in a normal tea bag, but also loses it's goodness to the air quickly after production. However, this leaf is really big so we couldn't make a 100% raspberry leaf, whole leaf tea bag.

Are there any occasions when you should not drink Raspberry Leaf Tea?
If you're pregnant, there are a few occasions not to drink raspberry leaf. We recommend talking to your midwife for specific guidance if you have any concerns.

When should I start?
Any time after 20 weeks but it is NEVER too late.

How long can I access the course?
365 days. If you need access to it again for a further pregnancy get in touch and we will give you a code.

Is this course for those based in the UK only?
No. This course is relevant for everyone, regardless of location.

How long does it take to finish?
It could take days or weeks, that's totally up to you. You set your own pace. If you were right at the end of pregnancy you could easily complete the course in 4 days.

What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is an evidence-based approach to birth that seeks to empower you with mindset & practical tools for a positive and empowering birth experience. By the end of the course you will feel informed about the physiology of birth, equipped with techniques for managing labour pain, and tools for how to make informed decisions during your pregnancy and birth.

Will this help me to have a pain-free birth? 
The method and approach is about working WITH pain rather eliminating the sensations all together. Hypnobirthing helps you to stay calm and in control during your birth experience.
