Are you expecting for the first time?
Have you had problems with previous pregnancies?
Are you expecting for the 2nd, 3rd or more?

Whatever your experience my Natal Hypnotherapy (hypnobirthing) course could benefit you and your birth partner.

The benefits to attending the course are:

• Overcome any fear of birth
• Feel relaxed and calm at all times, especially in the lead up to the birth
• Increase bonding with your baby
• Dramatically reduce the level of pain experienced in childbirth
• Increase your sense of being in control
• Reduced the need for intervention / drugs

I work with couples to tailor each course, so if you have used Hypnobirthing before and want a refresher or if its new completely new you will receive a personalized experience.

I also have experience of working with singe mothers.

Contact me to find out more with no obligation.

I offer face to face or virtual courses and discounts for key workers.

You can read every book available on what to expect when you go into labour, unfortunately your baby will not have read the books and will allow nature to take over. The best preparation you can do is attend one of my hypno-birthing courses to learn how to listen to your body and baby to achieve a calm, relaxed and positive birth experience. Contact me to find out more.

Really excited to be running a refresher course for a couple who are expecting their second baby and had such a great experience first time round using Natal hypnotherapy tools and techniques.

Un expected (calm home birth)

"I started feeling contractions on and off while painting the nursery at about 11 am! I assumed that they were just Braxton Hicks and so I carried on painting and ignored them. I continued having mild contractions at intervals all day though I was not in any real discomfort so I just got on with the usual every day things. My husband got home at about 6 pm and I mentioned to him about the contractions but as it was 8 days before my due date we both assumed that nothing was really happening. We sat down for dinner and I started contracting at more regular intervals. This time they were lasting for longer and didn't seem to be stopping so I started recording timings etc. We sat down to watch TV but I found it hard to get comfortable so I spent much of the evening rocking on my exercise ball and wandering round the room. We went to bed at around 11 pm but I couldn't settle and found lying down uncomfortable so I walked round and round the bedroom swaying in a funny sort of dance movement (I don't normally do dancing!).

I asked my husband if he thought we should phone the hospital and he said that it was up to me and maybe we should leave it and see how things were in the morning. I agreed and went back to bed but I couldn't keep still so I decided to phone the hospital and ask their advice. I still didn't really think I was in labour I was so calm. At 12 30 am the midwife arrived and listened to the baby's heartbeat which was fine and she observed me had a cup of tea and intimated that she might go home and come back later when things were actually happening!

She said it was obviously very early labour but she would stay for an hour or so and see what happened. After that things are a bit hazy but I know that the midwife commented that the contractions seemed to be getting stronger and kept asking if I needed pain relief but I felt so in control that I refused. Not long after that the contractions changed and I felt like pushing. At that point I was given an internal and told that I could push when I felt a contraction. The midwife told my husband to ring the hospital and ask them to send the second midwife for the birth as it wouldn't be too much longer. Pushing felt really natural I just did what my body told me to do and at 3.53 am our beautiful baby girl was born weighing 7lb 11oz. About 5 mins later the second midwife arrived having missed the exciting bit! "
