Hi, I am Phil and I run the blissful birthing company with Lydia.
I am a midwife and have been qualified for 4.5 years and I absolutely LOVE my job. I am currently working in a role where I work half my time on community and half my time on delivery suite, supporting women in different settings and facilitating births in different environments. I am passionate about women receiving care that is tailored towards their individual needs, that supports them to make the right decision for them, ensuring they have all the information to be able to make an informed choice.

I am passionate about hypnobirthing and this is something I implement into my every day practice as a midwife. I have lots of experience looking after women in labour who have used hypnobirthing and I have witnessed the incredible difference this makes to their birthing experience.

In my spare time I manage a netball team and love playing netball each week!

Birth Environment ✨
If you choose to birth in a midwife led unit or a hospital. It can be pretty strange coming into a new environment in labour. Some of our mums have never really needed to be in hospital before, others have spent more time in hospital - but for a more medical reason!

We love how a few simple tools of setting up a birth room can really help to calm the environment. Make it more homely, less clinical and comfortable for birth. Let us teach you the tips you need to make your environment more comfortable for you?

The 6 C's of Hypnobirthing - communication...

Communication is so important! This is for the birthing person with their birthing partner(s), their care givers... Really anyone who will enter or have any influence on the birth setting. But also, the communication between the birthing person and their baby and the birthing partner(s) and care givers too.

Having open, honest and simple communication between all parties means that the birthing person can allow their body to do what it needs to do without interruption or distraction, which may lead to an increase in adrenaline and oxytocin production being stopped. This would then make surges less effective. Ideally by having a care giver that is already known there will not need to be as much communication at the time of labour, but this means that communication isn't just important at the time of birth but in the lead up too!

We go through this in a lot more detail in our course, giving you information about how to communicate with care givers and how birth partners can help with this.

Drop us a message for more information!

You might have seen our ongoing series about the 6 C's of Hypnobirthing...

The idea of these 6 areas is to make you feel like this image sums up. Hopefully you get to feel like you can take on anything, and giving birth to your baby is a natural process that you and your baby are able to do together in a calm and comfortable way.

Perhaps that seems unrealistic, or a million miles away? Well our course is designed to help you achieve a more comfortable birth, a birth you feel more in control of and enable you to feel calm during the process.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in drop us a message today!

Confidence is so important! The knowledge you gain is very powerful and can support you to feel more confident throughout labour and birth.
