Hypnobirthing is a complete antenatal programme that teaches you how to work with your body during labour and birth, control any anxious or stressful thoughts and stay calm and comfortable.

These tried and tested techniques include using relaxation and self-hypnosis, deep breathing exercises and visualisation. This combined with in-depth birth know-how will fully support your preparation for labour and birth.  The birth partner plays an integral role and our classes will give your partner the knowledge and confidence to actively support you in labour.

If getting pregnant was simply about having sex at the right time then the world would be a much happier place, sadly for many it is not that easy.

The mind/body connection is so strong when it comes to conception.

Hypno-Fertility effectively supports the conception process whether that is natural or assisted by supported you through one of the most important and stressful times of your life: Pre-conception, ovulation, fertilisation, implantation and beyond.

My role as your Doula is to be there for you and your birth partner as practical, emotional and informational support before, during and after birth.

I will help and encourage you to find the strength to experience your labour in the best way possible, to feel confident and assured as your labour and birth unfolds.  I will encourage and reassure you when you need it most, removing any fear that you may have and building control as your labour progresses.  I will coach and assist you and your birth partner with your hypnobirthing techniques so that you can focus only on your baby and your body.

We teach the incredibly successful Wise Hippo Birthing Programme which covers everything you need to fully prepare you for your hypnobirthing experience.  The course consists of 4 easy-to-follow fun and informative classes.

You’ll receive a course book, access to the secure online client area where you can find all of your guided relaxation recordings and one-to-one tutor support right up until your birth.
