The postpartum haze is really tough. Your brain has just gone through more changes than at any other time in your life, your body has just birthed your baby and you are permanently sleep deprived. That’s a lot for any new mum to go through!
Tapping really helped me navigate the postpartum phase with both my babies so try this short process now and see how it makes you feel. Mumma - I see you, and I totally feel you - you are doing great!

It's so important to wind your mind down at the end of a busy day because a good quality sleep is the foundation of your mental health and wellbeing, but it’s not always easy to do if you’ve been looking at a screen or your phone all day. The chances are your brain has been overstimulated and switching off might feel impossible to do, this is where tapping can really help!
The physical tapping brings your nervous system back into balance and enables you to engage your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and relaxation). The words you say out loud, give your brain the invaluable space it needs to process the day and start to unwind.
Watch this 5 minute tapping video to bring stillness to busy mind and prepare yourself for a restful nights sleep.

Would you like a private session with Happy Heads? One to to one sessions are the perfect way to nurture your wellbeing and I always tailor the sessions to your own personal needs.
The sessions consists of breathing techniques, guided meditation, and a full round of Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping). Tapping is a powerful tool at helping you release negative tension held in both your body and mind. It’s the perfect partner to meditation as it helps your brain get to the core route of a problem and takes the emotional / negative charge away from it.
I always provide a full support document after the session and a meditation recording / tapping video for you to use. The sessions are 1hr 30mins and over Zoom.
If you really want to give your mental health a reset and you’re looking for something longer term I have a selection of brilliant programmes for you to choose from:
•Happy Heads Wellbeing Programme
•Happy Heads Burnout Programme
•Nurture Your Inner Child
•Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond
•Happy Heads Grief Support
I always offer a FREE 20 minute consultation call so if you’re interested please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to hear from you xx

Giving birth can be a magical experience but for some women the opposite may be true. For many different reasons birth can be traumatic having a lasting impact on their mental and physical wellbeing. The spectrum of trauma is a wide one and can range from PTSD (when maybe a mother nearly lost her life during childbirth) not feeling heard, feeling helpless, having things done without consent, emergency c section, unexpected complications or interventions, long painful labour or anything else that a birthing mother finds traumatic.
Trauma is different for everyone so it's important to reflect on how birth effected you both physically and mentally. Even if you had a planned c section, your body is still experiencing a trauma from being cut open. You may have had a good experience but still wish some things had been handled differently. Perhaps there were times you didn't feel like you were being listened to, patronised or ignored - these are all things that have a lasting impact.
Join me on 23rd March at Midday for my 1hr workshop 'Processing Birth'. It's been specifically designed to:
Create a safe space for all mothers to process their birth.
Empower you with tools to calm and ground your energy whenever you need (even when with your baby / children).
Allow your nervous system to emotionally and physically process your experience.
Improve the quality of your sleep (the short amounts you do get).
Reduce stress and anxiety connected to motherhood and everyday life.
Make you feel seen, heard and validate your emotions.
Improve your confidence as a mother and overcome any fear of birthing again.
Nurture your mental and physical wellbeing.
During the 1 hr lunchtime workshop you'll learn:
Insight into birth trauma, birth PTSD what is it and how it can affect people's mental health.
Breathing Techniques - to calm and ground your whole nervous system.
Guided Meditation - to help you identify, process and release any parts of your birth you found challenging.
Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) - to help bring your nervous system back into balance and overcome any anxious, negative thoughts you might be experiencing.
The workshop is only £20, click below to book or you can email kim@happyheads.me. It will be recorded for anyone who can't watch the live session so you can watch in your own time.
I can’t wait to see you all there.
Big Love

Being a mum to a little one can feel really challenging because you are often sleep deprived and that's tough! When you’ve had a bad nights sleep there is a 66% amplification to your brains amygdala (fear response) which means:
- It’s easy to feel more anxious
- Harder to think clearly and focus
- Easier to think negatively
- Harder to self regulate your emotions
- Your nervous system may feel frazzled and more sensitive
- You may feel floaty and like you’re on another planet
Whilst I can’t give you the gift of sleep I do know how to calm your nervous system, which is all you need to do on days when you’ve had zero sleep and you'll be surprised at how much more awake you feel afterwards!

Finding time for self care as a parent can be tough when all your energy is being poured into your little ones. A child's brain is still very much developing, which is why they are unable to self regulate their emotions - they need us to help them. That's incredibly hard to do if you're feeling exhausted, stressed, anxious and low. The more you nurture your own mind, the easier it is to nurture theirs.
Watch this video to see how you can use tapping to calm your incredible parent brain.
