⭐ Achieving your dream birth Is possible, and you have nore control than you may realise ⭐️

Feeling worried about being out of control during labour is a common fear, but there’s good news: with the right preparation and mindset, you can take charge of your birth experience.

Here’s how to bring back a sense of control to help you achieve the birth you want.

💜 Knowledge and preparation are key.
The more you understand how your body and mind work during labour, the more confident and empowered you’ll feel.

Preparation gives you the tools to navigate the unexpected.

💙 Learn the right questions to ask.
Knowing how to communicate effectively with your medical team and understanding your options allows you to make informed decisions for you and your baby.

This knowledge puts the power back in your hands.

🖤 Focus on what tou can control
Let go of what you can’t influence and focus on what you can.

Hypnosis can help release any lingering fears or doubts in your subconscious, leaving you calm and ready for the journey ahead.

My bespoke 3-step programme is here to help you feel empowered and in charge of your birth. You’ll learn:
✔ How your mind and body work during labour
✔ Strategies to feel calm, prepared, and confident
✔ How to use self-hypnosis to help you trust in your body
✔ Tools to align your conscious and subconscious mind with your goals
✔ Techniques to release fears and focus on what truly matters

I'd love to work together with you to help you achieve the birth you dream of.

DM me today and take the first step toward feeling more in control of your baby's birth experience.

Your pregnant body is beautifully, exquisitely, and perfectly designed to birth your baby.

But I know how hard it is to believe that when the world around you constantly tells you that birth is scary, painful, and something you can’t do without intervention.

The truth is, your body knows how to give birth. The challenge is quietening that part of your mind that questions your ability - so that your instincts and subconscious can take over.

Learning how your mind and body work together in labour can be a game-changer.

By going back to basics, you can rediscover the truth: your body is built for this. You can understand why birth can be painful, how to reduce that pain, let go of fear, and trust in the incredible design of your body.

💜 If you want to feel calm and in control, if you want to ease the anxieties you have about birth, let's chat about my Bespoke Better Birth course - a 3-step programme designed to help you trust your body, harness your power, and birth your way.

..and remember "I am perfectly designed for this"

✨ Connection begins before birth. ✨

Did you know your baby’s very first experiences of safety and calm happen inside you?

When you slow your breathing, your heart rate steadies and your baby’s does too.

When you relax, your oxytocin levels rise and your baby feels that calm.

This is the power of connection.

Your wellbeing is the foundation for a healthy pregnancy, a smoother birth, and a calmer baby.

But with busy lives, work, and responsibilities, it’s not always easy to find space to pause.

That’s why I’ve created two unique ways to help you step back, recharge, and prepare for birth with confidence:

🌿 Pregnancy Wellbeing Retreat Day – one nurturing day dedicated to you and your baby, combining deep rest, connection to baby, and you'll learn practical tools for labour.

🏡 Hypnobirthing Babymoon – a restorative peaceful getaway for two at our peaceful barn retreat, paired with a 3-step Bespoke Hypnobirthing programme to prepare you fully for birth.

Your body is your baby’s first home. Make it a calm and peaceful one.

Spaces are limited on the retreat days - https://www.betterbirthandbaby.co.uk/pregnancy-wellbeing-retreat-days AND we only book in one Hypnobirthing Babymoon per month(!) - https://www.betterbirthandbaby.co.uk/pregnancy-babymoons

If you'd like to know more or want to chat about how I can help, send me a DM.

💜 3 Easy ways your Birth Partner can help you during labour 💜

Your Birth Partner knows you better than anyone else in the birth room, so they have a really important role to play and they need to know exactly how to support you. These are my top 3 tips for them when you are in labour (although I could have put 10!):

1. Be Led by Her. Listen to what she needs. If she asks for something, it's because she really needs it! Gently offer support if she seems uncomfortable, stressed or worried.

2. Advocate calmly and firmly for her with the medical team. Be her voice and know what your options are if labour goes down a different route to the plan a you envisaged. Always ask questions if interventions are offered so you are fully informed, and so that together you can decide which option is best.

3. Provide physical and emotional encouragement. Your presence matters hugely to her. Whether it's your hands or your encouraging words or reminders of how well her body is made for birth, what you do and say matters and will make all the difference.

🥰🙏👇

Sure, I know a lot about hypnobirthing from working with Debbie in 2019 and through my own work around the conscious and subconscious mind...

But that doesn't mean I don't get HUGE value from her expertise and support this time around.

Because there's one thing knowing this work - it's another thing doing and believing.

Investing in an expert (in whatever field) not only helps you deepen or expand your understanding in new ways, it also helps with accountability and support.

Not only that, but when you invest your money, time and energy into something, you're subconsciously saying to yourself, I'm READY, I'm WORTHY, I'M DOING THIS!

And I don't have to do / figure it out alone.

I hope this helps you make moves towards an experience you desire, because YOU are your best investment.

I want to talk about your birth plan.. not just as a document for your midwife, but as a mindset tool to help you have the birth you want.

There are so many ways to approach birth planning. In my 3-Step Better Birth Programme, we explore them all.. the one for your midwife, your “birth preferences,” the plan with various scenarios, and the one that’s just for you.

And that last one? That’s where the magic happens.

Your personal birth plan isn’t just a list of preferences or “what if” scenarios (although those have their place and we cover them too). It’s a vision of your ideal birth.. like a map and a vision board rolled into one.

It’s about setting your intention, programming your subconscious, getting your conscious mind on board, and visualising the birth you want. Whether that’s calm, confident, and supported… or positive, empowered, and completely in control, this plan helps you see the big picture and feel the outcome you’re working towards.

I call this birth planning the hypnobirthing way.

Join me at our Pregnancy Wellbeing Retreat Day to create your own.. calm, clear, and empowering.

The next Retreat Day is on Friday 12th September - only 2 spaces left - and we can't wait to support the gorgeous mums and mums-to-be for their day of mind and body rest and focus time.

A recent conversation about how what I teach helps women during labour has sparked me to write a blog.. all about the most powerful tool to have in your toolbox during labour.

It’s a tool that can keep you calm, helps your birthing hormones flow, and even changes the way you experience contractions so they feel purposeful, not fearful.. it helps you to trust in your body.

Check out my latest blog on my website (link in bio or in comments) why this tool is so effective, and how it can help you feel confident and in control from your first contraction to meeting your baby.
