Put simply, hypnobirthing is a set of techniques used during pregnancy and labour to help Mum's have a calm and comfortable birth. It is a method of managing any pain, fear and anxiety she might have during pregnancy and childbirth. It helps her to release fears and build confidence through practicing relaxation techniques and birth affirmations to achieve the birth she really wants. It involves relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, visualisations, mindfulness, meditation, massage and so much more to help Mum’s and their birth partners have a positive birth experience. It is such a powerful tool and mother's who have given birth using hypnobirthing will confirm that it really does work!

You too, will learn to let go of any fear or anxiety you might have going through this process of pregnancy and birth. You will also practice the breathing techniques, relaxing touch techniques and unwind your body and mind with guided meditation.
MY STORY
How I became a Hypnobirthing Practitioner.
It all started when I supported my sister and brother-in-law at the birth of their first child in 2015. They had practiced Hypnobirthing and demonstrated just how powerful relaxation, visualisation and breathing techniques were when used before and during birth. I was truly amazed at how my sister breezed through her labour, without needing any form of pain relief. She was so calm and so in control...I was in complete awe. My brother-in-law was also well prepared, well informed and confident thanks to the classes they took. Anything the midwives needed to know, he knew the answer...And if he or my sister had a query, he knew exactly what to ask. The midwives didn't need to bother my sister at all, she was in the zone, just her and her baby working their magic. It was such a wonderful experience, especially witnessing my niece being born naturally, in a relaxed, stress free way into a calm and happy environment - What a beautiful way to start life!
​
It was from this experience that I decided that I would definitely take hypnobirthing classes when it was my turn to have a baby...And I'm so glad I did. Me and my husband learnt so much at our classes, I became so confident that I felt like nothing could phase me. I loved every minute of being pregnant and felt so happy and excited when Baby decided it was time to meet him. There was not one moment when I felt fear, anxiety or worry because I knew my body and my baby were ready and able to perform something truly amazing.
​
Now, I'm not only a hypnobirthing Mum but a Hypnobirthing practitioner, I completed the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) accredited course by Katherine Graves (KG Hypnobirthing). I was so fortunate to not only witness a wonderful hypnobirth but to also have one myself...and because of this, I feel like I need to share the knowledge and techniques with other Mums-to-be and their birth partners so they too can have a wonderful, magical, amazing birthing experience.

PREGNANCY RELAXATION
Pregnancy can sometimes feel overwhelming, it can leave you feeling tired and uncomfortable. With pregnancy relaxation you learn to relax your mind and body - a relaxed mum means a relaxed baby which benefits their growth and development. These sessions will help you feel centred. You will practice breathing techniques and guided relaxation that will leave you feeling calm, confident and in control of your emotions and state of mind. It is a wonderful way to unwind and a great opportunity to connect with your baby. These sessions last for one hour and can be booked as and when you need them.
Relaxation sessions at your home are £25 per session.Â
Relaxation sessions via Zoom are £15 per session.
CALM & CREATE
Regular relaxation is essential during pregnancy, why not release any tensions and anxieties with some therapeutic art sessions. In these group sessions, art is used as a tool to help you to be calm, re-centre and give your mind a break from any stresses about pregnancy and birth. It is also a nice environment to connect to other mums-to-be and share any concerns or just have a nice chat. These sessions are held fortnightly via Zoom and last for one hour, they cost £15 per session. A link to purchase art materials will be provided after booking. If you’re interested in one to one art sessions, email me to book individual sessions.
