Christina McKay on the power of a positive birth after trauma and losing and rediscovering herself in motherhood

Christina McKay has been cutting her teeth in the beauty industry for over 20 years, working at some of the biggest brands both in Australia and the UK.

Outside of her corporate 9-5, she's also a hypnobirth educator and a makeup artist. Add two kids to the mix, and you can see she has a lot on her plate.

From an effortless first pregnancy to recurrent miscarriage, from a traumatic first birth to an empowering second birth, from losing to rediscovering herself in motherhood, Christina's parenting journey has been anything but linear, and here, she shares it all.

She's relatable, she's funny, and she is so generous in conversation.
