Hibiscus Therapy I'm Jo, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Hypnobirthing Instructor.

Offering in-person sessions in North Somerset, Bristol, Newport, Caldicot, Chepstow and surrounding areas, plus online sessions across the UK. Jo Stewart (DCH), founder of Hibiscus Therapy, is a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and certified Hypnobirthing Instructor trained with The Calm Birth School (TCBS).

After exploring a range of methods, she chose TCBS for its realistic, inclusive, and non-judgemental approach - supporting every birthing journey, whether at home, in a birth centre, or hospital, and whether you choose a natural birth or a caesarean. At Hibiscus Therapy, Jo offers integrated clinical hypnotherapy alongside hypnobirthing courses, bringing together traditional hypnosis, cognitive-behavioural strategies, mindfulness, and other evidence-based tools. Her sessions are designed to meet your unique needs -helping you prepare your mind and body for a positive, calm birth experience or supporting you in overcoming emotional blocks, clarifying personal goals, and creating lasting, meaningful change. Compassionate and collaborative in her approach, Jo is passionate about helping others unlock their inner strength, self-belief, and potential. Whether you're preparing to welcome your baby or working toward personal transformation, she is dedicated to guiding you toward confidence, clarity, and empowerment.

🪷Slow breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system - during pregnancy, it keeps blood flowing freely to the placenta and supports your baby’s oxygen needs.
✅When you breathe slowly, your baby receives more oxygen.
✅When you relax, your baby relaxes.
✅When your mind softens, so does your body.
🩷Calm is a gift that both you and your baby benefits from.

👩‍❤️‍👨Your birth partner is your emotional anchor.
🧘‍♀️Their calm energy supports your hormones, your mindset, and your sense of safety.
📖In my hypnobirthing courses, partners learn cues, touch techniques, and tools that make them an active, empowering part of the birth.

⭐Client Case Study⭐- Driving Fear
😨"Before my hypnotherapy session, driving felt overwhelming. My car would sit unused on the drive because I could only manage a few streets before intense feelings of fear, panic, and anxiety took over.
💗My pulse would race, my concentration would disappear, and even my vision would be affected, often forcing me to abandon my car altogether. The anxiety didn’t stop there — I would be left in a heightened state for hours afterwards.
😃After just one session with Jo, everything changed. I felt clear, confident, and calm while driving, without any fear or panic. I even reverse parked onto my drive — something that felt impossible before.
🛣️ I’ve driven every day since and now have my independence and freedom back. It’s opened so many new doors for me, and I can’t thank Jo enough."♥️

Client Birth Story: 🤍 Calm, Informed & Empowered — Even When the Plan Changed!
✨ "From early in my pregnancy, I knew I wanted a spontaneous birth and didn’t want to be induced. When labour began naturally at 41+6, it felt incredibly reassuring to know I had trusted my instincts.
🌿 Working with Jo at Hibiscus Hypnobirthing, I gained the knowledge, tools and confidence I didn’t realise I was missing. From the first session, I felt completely at ease — no question felt silly, the information was easy to digest, and the handouts and prompt cards helped both me and my birth partner feel prepared and grounded.
🧘‍♀️ The breathing, relaxation and visualisations became something I genuinely enjoyed and used daily. By the final weeks, I felt calm, informed and confident in my choices — even when induction was suggested, I felt able to stand firm.
🏡 I laboured at home for around 11 hours, supported by my birth partner using the tools we’d practised together. When things didn’t feel quite right and no midwife was available, we made a calm decision to go into hospital.
🏥 There we learned my baby was back-to-back, which explained the intensity. With my partner’s support and using my breathing, I stayed calm and assessed my options. I chose an epidural and later, together, we agreed that a caesarean was the safest next step.
🎶 I still felt in control. I asked for dim lighting and music, and our beautiful son Henry was born to Rewind by Paolo Nutini — calm, perfect, and feeding straight away.
🤍 This wasn’t the birth I planned — but it was positive, empowering, calm and beautiful.
✨ Hypnobirthing didn’t promise a perfect birth - It gave us the tools to stay confident, calm and empowered to navigate any birth."
