Let me tell you a bit about myself....
My name is Anja and I am a holistic pregnancy coach based in Manchester, England.
I specialise in antenatal education, hypnobirthing, meditation, mindfulness and essential oils.
Growing up, I developed a love of languages. As soon as I could, I got a job and saved up to travel in South America. When I returned, I studied an MA in French, Spanish and Translation in Edinburgh. During my university years, I lived and studied in Mexico City and Brussels. After university, I lived in Barcelona for 5 years working as an English Teacher and Translator.
I came back to England in 2009 and trained as a teacher. This lead me into the health care sector. My work involved supporting adults and children with drug addictions, eating disorders, disabilities and mental health issues. It is safe to say I have known and cared for people from all walks of life!
When I became pregnant with my first child Rosie, I was ecstatic! However, I still had natural concerns about pregnancy and the birthing process. And, at that time, my anxieties were further heightened by my mum's sudden advanced ovarian cancer diagnosis.
I was introduced to the Hypnobirthing approach by a relative and I never looked back! As my knowledge grew, and I practiced the techniques, I felt more relaxed, confident, calm and positive, so much so that I decided to have a water birth in the comfort of my own home.
My mum died a few days after my daughter's 1st birthday but I am grateful that she got to meet her grand daughter. I was able to use hypnobirthing relaxation tools to help me with grief and the stresses of having a baby to look after. This just shows that what you learn is not just for giving birth, you can use these techniques for life!
As soon as I was able to, I trained as a Hypnobirthing practitioner under the world renowned Katharine Graves, as I wanted to enable other women to have their own positive experience during pregnancy and birth. Above all, I wanted to show other women that anything is possible if you are in control of your own mind.
I now help women online and in person prepare for labour and birth by giving them all the tools and techniques to navigate through the whole process with calm, confidence, strength and positivity.
In October 2018, I launched the most comprehensive and cost-effective birth preparation course in the world! It is called The Badass Birthing Queen School! It comprises of 50 short and easy to follow audio and video modules teaching you all you need to know to have a positive labour and birth. This online course is for women who want to learn everything from the comfort of their own home flexibly around their work life and family life. It is a bargain at £67!
Why the low price tag? I want to make hypnobirthing and birth preparation accessible to everyone no matter what their financial situation may be!
If you live in Manchester or elsewhere in the world, please contact me to find out how I can help you prepare for a great birth that you can remember with joy and happiness for the rest of your life!
I offer group and 1-1 classes from my home or your home. I also offer private sessions and online coaching program.
