The ideal time to begin the course is between 20 and 30 weeks of pregnancy. The more time you have to practice the techniques and use the decision-making tools, the better.

However, please don’t worry if you are beyond this point in pregnancy, a course will still be hugely beneficial.

My course is not just another antenatal course. It’s a unique birth preparation course that integrates the transformative tool of hypnosis, with unbiased simple-to-understand information about birth and your options, as well as providing you with many practical techniques to reduce pain during labour.

I go above and beyond to ensure that you feel confident and prepared to give birth. I believe you absolutely deserve to have the best birth possible, whatever that looks like for you and this is at the heart of my course.

Birth partners have an extremely important role to play during labour. Many birth partners are unsure about what is required of them and it can leave them feeling like a spare part and wondering how they can help.

My course provides birth partners with important knowledge and practical tools to support mum throughout labour. Birth partners should not underestimate the difference they can make during labour.

Have you had a wedding, big holiday, house purchase / renovations in the last few years - I bet these were a bit of an investment! But when it comes to birth, it seems to fall down the priority list even though it’s an equally life-changing, special and important day of your life.

I totally get it, pregnancy can be an expensive time and of course it's important to buy the essentials - the car seat, the crib, nappies and sleepsuits; but in my opinion being prepared for your birth is also a non-negotiable essential.

Instead of buying things you may never use (we’re all guilty of this!), invest in yourself to make a positive birth experience more likely. I bought a moses basket that my baby never liked (so we never used), yet every ounce of the hypnobirthing course I did was valuable.

Don’t start parenthood on the back-foot when you could start it feeling in total awe of your capabilities and supercharge your confidence in becoming a mother. 

I know from experience that birth can be positive and I really want this for you too. It saddens me that so many women approach labour full of fear, dread and a belief that its an “awful ordeal they just need to get through”. I’m here to change the narrative because I know that birth can be beautiful, calm and empowering.

If you’re ready to take the journey, I will guide you through a fully transformative and immersive experience that will change your whole perspective on birth, and dare I say it - leave you feeling excited to birth your baby.

An online course will cover the basics for a better birth experience. But a hypnobirthing course with me goes way beyond this.

The power and transformation you will experience is very hard to put into words and doesn’t do it justice. But in simple terms, I will connect with you and your birth partner, get to know you both and we’ll discuss YOUR specific concerns, worries, gaps in knowledge and preferences. By the end of the course you will have a plan that is as unique as you are.

I offer ongoing support after the course has finished, so that if you have any wobbles or questions, you have someone to turn to.

I will provide you with accountability - a course is meaningless if you don’t complete it, or if you don’t practice the tools and techniques - I will practice them with you and help you to stay on track.

It's very easy for an online course to slip down your to-do list but attending with me will allow you the structure to complete.

A course with me allows you to ask as many questions as you need for a full understanding.

Finally, an online course does not offer you the same level of human connection and attention to detail that I offer.

Of course you could and I would actively encourage it; there are some wonderfully inspiring books to support you to prepare for birth and beyond.

What you won't get from a book is the human connection you will get from me. I am committed to going above and beyond to provide a holistic, human experience which will stay with you for a very long time. It's all about the experience.  Reading a cookery book is not the same as attending a cooking course with an esteemed chef. Reading a guide book about Paris is not the same as a romantic getaway with your loved on. It’s the human connection that makes a difference.

The answer to this is a resounding YES!

Whenever i hear the words “I’m just gonna go with the flow when it comes to labour” it makes me feel uneasy. Going into birth “in the dark” is like is like showing up to run a marathon with no training and no map — your body has to do the work, but you didn’t have what you needed to feel ready or confident.

Preparing your mind and body for birth will only be positive; knowing all of your options and the choices you have will only give you more power; being inspired by the instinctual and incredible female body will only reassure you and having tools & techniques to manage your labour will only make it easier!
