Transform Fear into Faith this Winter
As we welcome in these winter months, our nights grow longer, and daylight fades. It's natural for our mood to drop as feelings of exhaustion rise. To bring a little joy into your day and create a sense of balance, we invite you to take a few mindful moments to slow down. Reflect on the past year and honor how far you have come during times of uncertainty.
Embrace loving kindness
2021 brought with it many highs and many unexpected lows. No matter what you or your loved ones have gone through this year, we have journeyed through these difficult times - together. It can be challenging to search for a silver lining when life seems chaotic, but taking these moments to pause, reflect and embrace the present moment can deliver a great sense of gratitude and peace from within.
What’s something or someone you are grateful for this year?

We wanted to share a snippet of The March for Midwives Movement on November 21st, 2021, which was a great turnout. Thank you if you were there to join us! We appreciate the love and support received from you all near and far. We deeply connected with one of the songs shared on this day - A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.
"I hear babies crying; I watch them grow, they'll learn much more than I'll ever know. I think to myself - what a wonderful world."
Here's a short video of March with Midwives Hitchin, Herts with singer Lauren Jennings.

With Christmas slowly approaching, it's important to remember loving kindness. Show compassion and sprinkle a little kindness where you go. You never know what others are going through, and the holiday season can often bring a mix of emotions for families and individuals. Whether it's feelings of loneliness, anxiety or fear, know that there is always someone there you can reach out to for support.
A gentle reminder to listen to our not just for pregnancy 'Cloak Of Protection' session that you will find attached to our November Hippopedia - A great tool for any Christmas day relatives that don't necessarily share your views on life!
The Wise Hippo Community
At The Wise Hippo, we are more than just our Birthing Programme. We are a community of conscious individuals who thrive on connections and encouraging others to live as their highest selves and receive positive experiences through their birthing journey and life in general. We share an abundance of knowledge, tools, and techniques that you can return to at any point in your life that will give you confidence in the choices you make and ignite relaxation.
The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme gifts parents all they need to transform fear into faith. Breathing techniques, visualization tools, and mindfulness meditations guide them through their birthing journey and beyond — creating a safe space for families to welcome their new bundle of joy into this wonderful world.
' Thank you fear, but I no longer need YOU in my life - Something to firstly ask yourself is, 'where's this fear coming from?' Are they patterns you learned as a young child? You may have these patterns that you developed,these mechanisms you developed because at the time you were searching for love or safety and you created these coping mechanisms. Maybe one of those mechanisms was 'fear'... The Birth Path book by Founder of The Wise Hippo,Tamara Cianfini
The Wise Hippo wisdom can be used in your everyday life, too, especially with the run-up to Christmas. From excited children to anxious adults and every emotion in between. Return to what you have learned at any time, from any place. Return home to yourself.
