Born This Way

Born This Way Mother and Baby Wellness Classes The Born This Way Hypnobirthing programme is a full antenatal education programme with a positive approach.

The course teaches you how to have a positive experience no matter what type of birth you have and prepares you for all eventualities. The course teaches lots of tools to empower you and your birth companion to feel confident for the birthing day. The Hypno part involves teaching you techniques to learn how to become relaxed and in control. You will be the person that decides what you want to focus on and when you are in a deeply relaxed state you become more open to positive suggestions. The Hypno part also involves teaching the mind new, positive messages about birth which helps to remove learned messages that are no longer useful as you navigate your birth experience. The relaxation tools help to override negative thoughts of birth being something that should fill you with fear and dread. The Born This Way Hypnobirthing programme is taught over 10 hours as private sessions in the comfort of your own home or via zoom as live online sessions. I love seeing the difference I can help make to couples and hope to work with you soon.

Most women are never warned about this part of a C-section recovery… 👇

That sharp, trapped wind pain?
It can feel worse than the incision itself.

But here’s the truth most people don’t tell you:
It’s normal, and there are simple ways to ease it 💗

✨ Gentle movement helps wake your body back up
✨ Rocking can relieve that deep, uncomfortable pressure
✨ Peppermint tea can soothe your digestion
✨ And skipping fizzy drinks can make a huge difference

This isn’t about “just getting on with it”…
It’s about understanding your body so you can recover feeling more comfortable, confident, and in control.

Because when you know what’s happening, everything feels less overwhelming.

Save this for after your birth (you’ll thank yourself later 🤍)
And send it to someone who needs to hear this but hasn’t been told yet.

Choosing where to give birth isn’t just a practical decision… it’s an emotional one too 🤍

Because this isn’t about picking the “right” place.
It’s about choosing the place where you feel safest, most supported, and able to let go.

For some women, that’s home.
For others, it’s a birth centre.
And for many, it’s the reassurance of a hospital.

There is no gold standard — only what’s right for you, your baby, and your circumstances.

The key is understanding your options, knowing what each setting offers, and feeling confident in the decision you make… not second guessing it later.

✨ Because when you feel safe, your body can work with you — not against you.

✨ And that can completely change how birth feels.

If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck between options… you’re not alone. This is exactly what we work through inside my course.

✨ Why me: I’m a midwife and Hypnobirthing teacher who’s supported births in every setting — I’ll help you understand your options so you can choose what’s right for you, not what you’ve been told to do.

She didn’t need more information…
She needed to feel safe in her body and confident in her choices.

Because let’s be honest —
most women aren’t going into birth unprepared…

They’re going in overwhelmed, anxious, and second-guessing everything.

That constant loop of:
“What if I can’t cope?”
“What if something goes wrong?”
“What if I lose control?”

That’s what actually holds you back.

Not your body.
Not your baby.
Not even birth itself.

So we didn’t just “prepare” her for labour…
We changed the way she experienced it before it even began.

We replaced fear with understanding.
Panic with tools.
Uncertainty with confidence.

And that’s when everything shifted.

Because when you feel calm, informed, and in control…
you don’t just “get through” birth —
you experience it in a completely different way.

That’s the work.

Why me?
I’m a midwife, a mum, and a hypnobirthing teacher — I’ve seen birth from every angle. I don’t just give you information, I give you the tools to actually use it when it matters most.

If you’re ready to stop feeling scared and start feeling prepared…
this is your sign 💫

Welcome to the world, beautiful Gia ✨
You are already so deeply loved.

Leah & Glen — what a journey this has been. From preparing, questioning, trusting, and navigating every twist along the way… to finally holding your baby in your arms. This is the moment it was all for.

I am so proud of you both. Enjoy every tiny, squishy newborn moment — it really is magic.

✨ This is exactly why I do what I do. Supporting you to walk into birth feeling calm, informed, and confident — no matter the path it takes.

C-section recovery isn’t about “bouncing back”… it’s about being supported to heal properly 🤍

Those early days can feel like a lot — physically, emotionally, and mentally. And so many women are told what not to do… without ever being shown what actually helps.

Here’s what really makes a difference:
✨ Staying on top of your pain relief (don’t wait until you’re struggling)
✨ Gentle movement to support circulation and recovery
✨ Nourishing your body so it can heal
✨ Protecting your energy and asking for help
✨ Letting yourself feel all of it — not just the “grateful” parts

Because healing from a C-section isn’t just physical… it’s a full-body, full-heart experience.

And when you understand how to support your body properly?
You don’t just get through recovery… you feel more in control of it.

This is exactly what I teach — not just how to prepare for birth, but how to recover feeling informed, supported, and confident in your body 🤍

Why me?
I’m a midwife, doula, and C-section mum who’s been on both sides — I don’t just teach this, I’ve lived it and supported hundreds of women through it too.

Save this for after your birth (or send to someone who needs it) 🤍

You can have a C-section and still feel calm.
Still feel in control.
Still look back and feel proud of your birth.

But most people are never told that.

Instead, they’re left feeling like it’s something that “happened to them”…
Something to just get through.

And that’s where so much of the fear comes from.

Because when you don’t understand your options,
When you don’t know what you can ask for,
When no one shows you how calm it can feel…

Of course it feels overwhelming.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

This is exactly what I teach—
How to walk into any birth (including a C-section) feeling prepared, informed, and genuinely calm.

Not because everything goes perfectly…
But because you understand what’s happening and feel part of it.

🤍 That’s the difference.

Why me?
I’m a midwife, hypnobirthing teacher, and mum who’s experienced both a C-section and a calm, positive birth—so I don’t just teach this, I’ve lived it.

If you’re pregnant and want to feel like this walking into your birth…
Send me a message with “CALM” and I’ll point you in the right direction.

There is so much more within your control than you’ve probably been told.

And when you know your options?
Everything starts to feel calmer, clearer, and far less overwhelming.

Here’s how to prepare for a positive, empowered C-section experience:

✨ Before the day
• Ask questions—understanding why your C-section is recommended builds confidence
• Create a simple birth plan (yes, even for surgery)
• Pack essentials: high-waisted underwear, loose clothing, slip-on shoes, extra pillows
• Think about your environment—music, calm voices, who you want with you

✨ On the day
• You can ask for a calm, gentle atmosphere in theatre
• Request a “gentle” or “slow” C-section (where appropriate), allowing baby to be born more gradually
• Ask for clear communication—knowing what’s happening reduces anxiety massively
• Your birth partner can stay with you and support you throughout

✨ Meeting your baby
• Ask about immediate skin-to-skin (this is often possible!)
• Delayed cord clamping may still be an option
• You can ask for the screen to be lowered if you want to see your baby being born

✨ After your C-section
• Skin-to-skin in recovery helps bonding + feeding
• Take your pain relief regularly—don’t wait until you’re struggling
• Start gentle movement as advised—it really supports healing
• Accept help—this is recovery, not a time to “push through”

✨ At home
• Set up a recovery station (everything within reach)
• Avoid heavy lifting (anything heavier than baby)
• Support your wound and know signs of infection
• Rest as much as you can—healing is your priority

Because this is the part most people miss—
A positive birth isn’t about avoiding a C-section…

It’s about feeling informed, supported, and in control within it.

Save this so you can come back to it 🤍

April is C-section Awareness Month… and we need to talk about it.

Because for so many women, this isn’t the birth they imagined—
and yet it becomes one of the most important, powerful days of their life.

This month, I’m going to be sharing more about caesarean birth…
Not just the clinical side—
but the emotional, physical, and mindset pieces that truly shape your experience.

✨ What to expect
✨ How to prepare (even if it’s not planned)
✨ Recovery tips that actually make a difference
✨ And how to feel calm, informed, and in control—whatever path your birth takes

Because here’s the truth no one says enough:
A positive birth isn’t about how your baby is born…
It’s about how you feel during it.

And you deserve to feel informed, respected, and supported—every step of the way.

If a C-section is part of your story (planned or unexpected), this space is for you.

Follow along this month—I’ve got so much to share.

Not everything offered in birth is because you need it.

Sometimes it’s routine.
Sometimes it’s convenience.
Sometimes it’s just “the way it’s done.”

But the decisions that truly matter?

They should feel aligned. Informed. Right for you.

Because this isn’t about ticking boxes or following a pathway someone else chose.
It’s about understanding your options, trusting your instincts, and making choices from a place of calm — not pressure.

✨ When you know your options, everything changes.
✨ When you feel informed, fear softens.
✨ When you feel in control, birth becomes something you step into — not something that happens to you.

This is exactly what I teach inside my hypnobirthing courses.

Not blind trust.
Not rigid plans.
But real understanding — so you can say yes (or no) with confidence.

Because the goal isn’t a “perfect” birth…
It’s a birth where you feel grounded, supported, and sure of your decisions.

And that changes everything.

June & July are now fully booked for private clients 🤍

And if you’re thinking… “have I left it too late to prepare?” — you haven’t. But this is your sign not to leave it any longer.

Because the difference between feeling overwhelmed and actually feeling calm, confident and in control during birth…
is preparation.

✨ Here’s what’s still available:

There are limited spaces left on my June group course in Hamilton (starting 1st June) — perfect if you want that in-person support and to fully immerse yourself in your preparation.

And for those of you due sooner…

I’ve opened up a LIVE Zoom course starting 29th April 💻 so you don’t miss out.

This is where everything starts to click.
Where you stop second-guessing yourself and start trusting your body.
Where birth goes from something you fear… to something you feel ready for.

Because this isn’t about “just getting through birth” —
it’s about how you feel while it’s happening.

Why me?
I’m a midwife, hypnobirthing teacher, and mum of two — I’ve seen birth from every angle, and I teach you how to navigate it with confidence, not fear.

If you’re ready to feel calm, informed and in control…
message me “BIRTH” and I’ll help you find the best option for you 🤍

POV: you keep telling yourself you’ll “prepare for birth later”… until later suddenly feels too late.

This is your sign. 🤍

Because here’s the truth no one tells you:
Birth doesn’t become calm, positive, or empowering by chance…
It happens when you prepare your mind for it.

Not because it’s routine.
Not because someone else told you to.
But because you deserve to feel in control, confident, and ready when you meet your baby.

✨ Imagine going into labour knowing exactly what your body is doing
✨ Feeling calm instead of panicked
✨ Making decisions without fear or overwhelm
✨ Walking away thinking “I actually did that”

That’s the difference.

And right now? You can step into that version of you for less.

Emma and Gary — congratulations on the safe arrival of your beautiful baby boy, Arthur.

From our time together, I saw two people who didn’t just “prepare for birth”…
You showed up for it.
You asked questions, trusted your instincts, and made decisions that felt right for your baby, not anyone else’s expectations.

And that’s what this is really about.

Not a “perfect” birth…
But walking away feeling proud, informed, and completely in tune with the choices you made along the way.

Arthur is one very lucky little boy 🥹

Thank you for letting me be part of such a special chapter in your story — it’s something I’ll never take for granted.

Welcome to the world, Arthur.
The best is just beginning.
