It all starts with your mindset!!!

Before birth classes, before packing your hospital bag, before labour begins — your thoughts are already shaping your experience.

The words you say to yourself matter. They shape your beliefs, your emotions, and even your body’s hormonal response during pregnancy and labour.

That’s where affirmations come in.
They’re not just “positive quotes” — they’re a daily decision to shift your focus from fear to trust, from worry to calm.

Start now. One affirmation a day. Say it out loud.
Write it down. Breathe it in.

Your journey begins with the way you speak to yourself.

Save this post to come back to whenever anxiety creeps in. You’ve got this.

⭐️QUICK INTRO TO ME⭐️

I have some lovely new followers so just thought I’d say hi and do another quick intro. Thanks for the support.

❤️My name is Ruth and I have 3 children aged 9, 6 and 4

❤️I have a degree in acting and my 9-5 job is working as a Casting Manager for 3 casting platforms (job sites for actors)

❤️I experienced a birth without Hypnobirthing almost 10 years ago and was desperate to find a better way to birth. After discovering hypnobirthing I went on to have 2 further births at home and I am now passionate about passing my knowledge on to other women so they can also have a positive experience of birth.

❤️ Unusual fact about me - I modelled for a non loyalty stock image shoot over 10 years ago and signed my life and face away for about £100 and now my images are being used all over the world to advertise many different products, services and articles still to this day. My face has been all over from France to Australia even Brazil.

❤️ I love a good cup of tea ☕️ strong with a small amount of milk, also described as builders tea!

❤️Also recently completed my training with to help women have a better experience of breastfeeding their babies

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

In a groundbreaking new development, hypnobirthing has now been recognised as the ONLY thing you need for birth! Experts confirm that with the right breathing techniques and visualisations, some people are now skipping contractions altogether and simply thinking their baby into existence.

One study even found that imagining a water birth in the Maldives is so powerful that a small percentage of babies were actually born with a faint tan. ☀️

I’m absolutely thrilled by these findings! Will you be trying the new Hypno-Teleportation method, or are you sticking with classic surge breathing? Let me know in the comments!

Happy World Hypnobirthing Day! ✨🌿

Did you know this special day is celebrated on the first day of spring? A season of new beginnings, growth, and trusting nature—just like birth itself. It’s the perfect time to celebrate hypnobirthing and the way it helps parents approach birth with calm, confidence, and choice.

For me, hypnobirthing was life-changing. My first birth left me feeling unprepared and fearful, but when I discovered hypnobirthing, everything changed. I went on to have two incredible, calm home births where I finally felt in control—and that’s why I’m so passionate about sharing this with others.

Hypnobirthing deserves to be celebrated because birth matters. The way we feel when we give birth stays with us forever, and every parent deserves to step into birth feeling supported, informed, and empowered.

If hypnobirthing has helped you, I’d love to hear your story! 💛 Comment below 🙂

I’ll never forget the moment my husband realised just how powerful hypnobirthing could be. When we were expecting Lily, he was so sceptical about my birth plan (hypnobirthing at home) — I think he thought I was a bit mad! But after seeing the difference first-hand between Jack’s hospital birth and Lily’s birth with hypnobirthing, he completely changed his mind. The calm, the control, the positivity — it was like night and day.

He saw how much more confident and empowered I felt, and it made him believe in hypnobirthing as much as I do now. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping other parents experience that same confidence and calm. It’s not about the type of birth you have — it’s about feeling prepared, supported, and in control ❤️

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I did all the things I thought I was supposed to do. I signed up for an NCT course, learned about the stages of labour, and packed my hospital bag — feeling like I was as prepared as I could be.

But when labour started, it was a completely different story. I felt overwhelmed, terrified, and totally out of control. I realised that knowing the practicalities of birth wasn’t enough — I needed something more.

That’s when I discovered hypnobirthing. During my second pregnancy, I went all in — learning how to work with my body rather than fight it. I practiced breathing techniques, visualisation, and relaxation every day. When labour started, I felt calm and in control. My body knew what to do — and I trusted it.

I went on to have two incredible home births where I felt empowered, supported, and strong. Hypnobirthing completely transformed how I viewed birth — from something to fear into something to trust.

That’s why I became passionate about teaching other couples hypnobirthing — because I know how powerful it can be. Birth doesn’t have to be scary — you deserve to feel calm, confident, and in control.

Your birth environment matters more than you might think! ✨ The space you give birth in can have a huge impact on how your labour progresses. A calm, safe setting encourages the release of oxytocin (the hormone that drives labour) and reduces adrenaline (which can slow things down).

In this carousel, I’m sharing 5 simple ways to create a calm birth environment – whether you’re at home, in a birth centre, or in hospital. From dim lighting to familiar scents, small changes can make a big difference in helping you feel relaxed and in control.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and power of women—especially in birth.

Birth is not just a physical event; it’s a transformation, a moment of deep intuition, courage, and trust in our bodies. Across cultures and generations, women have birthed with wisdom, surrounded by those who uplift and support them.

Yet, in many places, women still face unnecessary fear, intervention, and disempowerment in birth. This International Women’s Day, let’s advocate for respectful, informed, and empowering birth experiences for all. Because every woman deserves to feel safe, heard, and in control when bringing life into the world.

To all the mothers, birth workers, and those who support birthing women—you are incredible. Your strength shapes the next generation.
