One of the biggest misconceptions I come across as a midwife is that hypnobirthing is only for people planning a home birth or wanting to avoid all pain relief options.

The reality is very different.

I've written about what hypnobirthing actually is, what it includes and why so many families find the techniques helpful, whether they're planning an induction, epidural, labour ward birth, caesarean birth, birth centre birth or home birth. Some people are doing it and they don't even realise.

You might be pleasantly surprised 🌊

I am so excited to invite you to an evening with The Coastal Birth Club 🌊

Join us for an exclusive opening event designed to help you feel calm, informed and empowered as you prepare for labour and birth. Whether this is your first pregnancy or your fourth, you are so welcome.

Expect a warm welcome, practical birth preparation including the physiology of labour and birth, positioning, massage and hypnobirthing tools. There will also be a serene guided relaxation session and honest, midwife-led support in a wonderfully calm setting.

As part of our opening event, each booking also includes:
✨ The Coastal Birth Club Hypnobirthing workbook
✨ Our full hypnobirthing and relaxation MP3 library
✨ One of our lovely goodie bags
✨ Refreshments
✨ Practical tools to support birth preparation

This exclusive, one-time, opening rate is available at just £65 per couple — £100 less than our full hypnobirthing course.

Spaces are intentionally very limited to keep the evening personal, supportive and relaxed so please don't delay booking.

As this is our very first Coastal Birth Club evening, we’ll be inviting honest feedback and reflections afterwards as we continue building something truly special for local families and our wonderful community here in East Devon 🤍

In pregnancy and birth spaces, the word “expert” gets used a lot… but not all antenatal education is created equally.

As women and families, you absolutely deserve to understand who is guiding your birth preparation, what experience they hold and whether their teaching is grounded in professional training, real-life maternity care and evidence-based education 🤍

The Coastal Birth Club was created to offer something calm, modern and genuinely supportive — combining years of professional midwifery experience with specialist antenatal education, hypnobirthing and biomechanics-informed birth preparation.

But just as importantly, I never wanted these classes to feel cold, clinical or overwhelming.

No awkward classrooms.
No fear-based teaching.
No information overload.

Just warm, thoughtful and beautifully supportive preparation to help you feel informed, confident and cared for as you prepare to meet your baby 🌊

Because who you learn from really does matter 🤍

Why “The Coastal Birth Club”? 🌊

Because I never wanted this to feel like just another antenatal class.

I wanted to create something within my local community that feels softer. Slower. More connected.

A space where expectant families, women and new parents feel genuinely supported, informed and held as they prepare for birth and early parenthood — not rushed through a checklist of information.

The coast has always felt grounding to me. Calm, restorative and reassuring. A place to breathe deeply and exhale. And that’s exactly the feeling I wanted to create for families walking into my classes — a calm, relaxing and sensory experience where people instantly feel at ease.

And “club” because this was always meant to become so much more than just a course. There are so many beautiful things still to come.

It’s about finding your people.
Your support system.
Your village.

The people who sit beside you through pregnancy, message you at 3am in the newborn days and remind you that you were never meant to do this alone 🤍

The Coastal Birth Club was always created to feel like belonging.

☀️ Pregnancy in the heat can feel a lot.

Your body is already working incredibly hard when you're pregnant, so during periods of hot weather, slowing down and caring for yourself a little more gently really matters 🤍

A few gentle reminders for warmer days:
• Drink regularly throughout the day
• Rest more than usual
• Keep cool where possible
• Wear loose breathable clothing
• Seek shade during the hottest parts of the day
• Listen to your body and slow down when needed

Save for later, send to a pregnant friend & stay cool this weekend/coming week ☀️

One of the biggest things I wish more women understood about birth is this:

Your body is not broken.
Birth is not something your body has to be “forced” to do.

So much of modern birth preparation focuses on fear, 'timelines and what could go wrong, that many women head towards labour already doubting themselves.

But birth physiology works best when we feel calm, safe and supported. It's science.

That doesn’t mean birth is always straightforward or predictable — but truly understanding how the body and nervous system work together can completely change the way you approach labour.

Birth should not feel like something you simply have to endure.

As a midwife, I want to help you feel calm, safe and supported enough to work with your body — not against it 🤍

Hypnobirthing isn’t about a perfect birth — and it’s not just about breathing (although breathing is important here). It’s about understanding physiology, calming the nervous system and helping you feel informed, supported and confident as you prepare to meet your baby.

But how do you turn fear and nervous energy into calm and confidence? How do you get to a place where you genuinely look forward to giving birth and truly believe in your ability to do it?

Our two-week Hypnobirthing & Birth Preparation Course is launching soon and these are exactly the kinds of conversations we’ll be having together and is perfect for first time parents but also those who have given birth before but need or want a different experience this time around. Our five-week antenatal course also includes all of this preparation, alongside deeper postnatal education and support too.

There are so many exciting things happening behind the scenes at The Coastal Birth Club right now ✨

There has already been so much interest in these classes, so if you’d like to hear when bookings go live, please register your interest via the website. Places will be intentionally kept small to create a calm, supportive and personalised experience for every family.

There is power in understanding your body.
There is peace in feeling prepared 🤍

We don’t want to overwhelm you with information, because preparing for birth is not just about learning what might happen.

It’s about how you feel going into it.

Calm. Supported. Confident.
Able to trust yourself, your body and your ability to birth.

Our next course starts on 20th July, and booking for September classes is now open too.
