My classes and courses help eliminate worries and fears you have about birth and fill you with confidence in your body to have a positive birth experience - whatever labour throws at you and however you choose to birth. And after baby arrives there are supportive Mum & Baby Yoga classes and Baby Massage Courses too, and my online Calm & Empowered Motherhood course too. On the journey to having a baby I have specialist expertise and training in Fertility Yoga and Fertility Coaching too. I am also a Birth Trauma support and recovery practitioner, and offer services to help you after a difficult previous birth, antenatal or postnatal experience or a birth injury. AND I am a life coach - helping women find more joy, contentment and happiness in their lives. By choosing my hypnobirthing course as your complete antenatal preparation you really understand:
- How your amazing body works to birth your baby
- The scientific connection between mind and body
- How to stay calm and in control no matter what happens
- How your birth partner can be your ultimate birth supporter, so you become a 'birthing dream' team. The techniques you learn on my course really are skills for life too, and you'll both take them forward into amazing journey of parenthood. I add in MUCH more than a 'standard' hypnobirthing or antenatal course too - active birth & movement, aromatherapy, yoga techniques and more. And do check out the NEW For Modern Mothers Podcast too (available on all podcast providers, Just search for 'For Modern Mothers'). Basically I'm insanely passionate about helping all mothers and birthing people take control of their bodys, their minds, their lives & their goals. And I love questions, so do let me know what your are! warmest wishes

So much this! 👌

There is SO much judgement around pregnant women. Suddenly you feel like public property (I hear this so much on my Pregnancy Yoga classes). Yet you are at your most vulnerable emotionally, mentally and hormonally.

People need to either be kind and compassionate, or mind their own fecking business! 🤐

Trust Your Mind
Trust Your Body
Trust Yourself

He wasn’t supposed to win. His form was off. But he believed in himself. His mind. His body.

I think every woman in labour should write something similar on their forearm too. A reminder of how amazing they are. To trust themselves. You’re already half way there if you do (seriously) To not waiver when it gets tougher.
Affirmations are simple yet deeply effective way to put your 🧠 brain into the right space. Never more important than in labour. Because Then your birth hormones will follow.

Get your sharpie ready people! ✍️
