Birth’s Leslie Knope
You made it!
I’m Frankie, and it’s so wonderful you’re here. I’m so excited for you, because if you’re here it means you’re ready to take the path less traveled, and take control of your birth prep. A bit about me:
I’m the Head Bitch In Charge of Devon Birth Co, and it’s my mission, my dream job, the thing that makes me sparkle, to spread the good word that birth is tough but so fucking beautiful.
I didn’t really align with any of the “popular” titles in the birth world, doula, antenatal educator, hypnobirthing teacher. They just didn’t quite fit. So do you know what I did?
I said fuck it. And made my own title. My own role. My own place in this crazy birth world. And so, a birth prep specialist, and on occasion a birth guide, was born.
So what’s it like to work with me, the best damn birth prep specialist in Devon?
Well, kinda like that. Supporting you to say fuck it when it feels right, and making your birth your own.
Until now you’ve been told birth is a terrifying hellscape that you’re lucky if you make it out alive. That it’s nature’s “mistake”. Maybe you’ve been made to feel like a silly, naive, little girl for daring to hope that your birth could be something different.
You’re a bit scared, you’re worried because you have a low pain threshold and you’ve heard it’s the most horrible, painful experience. You’re scared that the worst might happen if you don’t fall into line and do whatever the “experts” say.
Scramble those thoughts up and shoot them out like a snot rocket, because it’s time to recalibrate your mindset.
Working with me is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. It’s mastering your perception of pain. It’s naming the beast you’re scared to think about and banishing it to the shadow realm. It’s passion, joy, beauty, emotion, curiosity, tough love, nurturing, evidence backed, Raw and Real birth prep.
Birth is tough babe, but you’re tougher. Let’s effing GO.

Birth planning
These birth planning one-on-ones (or two-on-ones if your partner is feeling brave) are designed for people who want in-depth, start to finish, comprehensive birth planning.

We’ll sit down together for a couple of hours virtually or over a cuppa face to face, and go over everything from your first surge through to your first feed and those precious golden hours post birth. We’ll go over your options, your choices, and the evidence, and come up with a birth plan that feels just right.
No more “am I allowed to do this?” just your wants and priorities out there loud and proud.
