⭐️INTRODUCING THE CORNWALL HYPNOBIRTHING DIGITAL SHOP⭐️

It's here! After many months of carefully creating digital resources, they are finally all in one place and ready to purchase on my online shop! There are many reasons why I wanted to create these resources but the main driver being, one of the things I’ve learned after more than a decade of teaching antenatal education and supporting families as a Doula is this: Information changes everything and knowledge is power!

I’ve drawn on my experience of over 12 years of working in the birth world and created this range of practical & useful resources covering pregnancy tools, birth preparation, Hypnobirthing skills and the early weeks after your baby arrives.

Inside the shop you’ll find resources to help you:

✔️Prepare for birth with evidence-based information
✔️Understand your options and navigate the maternity system
✔️Create a calm birth environment
✔️Support your mindset during pregnancy and labour
✔️Feel informed, confident and ready to meet your baby

From my comprehensive Hypnobirthing workbook to relaxation MP3s, birth planning tools and fourth trimester support, everything is designed to be accessible, practical and easy to use at home.

Some resources are just a few pounds and there are even a few free downloads to get you started.

Because good quality, independent, antenatal education shouldn’t feel out of reach. Head to the Cornwall Hypnobirthing shop by clicking the button below, and take a look around.

Knowledge is Power!
Big Love

⭐️LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF⭐

My previous post was all about my business, so here's a little reminder (or introduction for those of you who are new here) about me, Terri, the person and face behind Cornwall Hypnobirthing & Doula Service.

Firstly, Welcome and thanks for joining me on my little squares! I hope that my content brings you joy, educates you and inspires you.

Here's a few things to help you get to know the person behind the business. (If you want to know all about my qualifications/certification/experience check out the 'About Me' page on my website!)

The reason I like to share these parts of myself with you is because I feel it's really important that people get to know ME, as ultimately that's the reason they book my services! Because my personality, morals, values, humour and quirks resonate with them.

Everyone teaches differently, every Doula is different, and everyone brings so much of themselves into what they do. So this is what I bring to the party!

All about me:
⭐LGBTQ+
⭐️Feminist
⭐Cornish and Proud!
⭐Virgo/Leo
⭐Honest & open
⭐Marmite lover
⭐Straight talker
⭐Sweary a.f
⭐️Doula trainer
⭐Hockey/sports/gym goer
⭐Total birth nerd
⭐Beach/Sea lover
⭐Fiercely loyal friend
⭐Mother
⭐Practical joker
⭐️Trans Ally
⭐Sweet tooth
⭐Boxset Binger
⭐Absolutely terrible cook
⭐Happy to skip straight to dessert
⭐Passionate about birth rights, informed consent, body autonomy, and helping people feel prepared, confident and ready to boss their birth!

Wanna find out more and chat about how I can support you? DM me and lets arrange a free clarity call! I have Private Hypnobirthing availability over the coming months. Doula services availability from September onwards (fully booked until then), and group course starting next month.

Those of you that know me or have been here a while, what would you add to my list to describe me?

(A friend sent me this image this evening and I loved it!)

⭐️WHAT AM I ALL ABOUT ⭐️ THIS IS HEART OF MY WORK⭐️

Cornwall Hypnobirthing & Doula Service exists for women who know they deserve more - more information, more choice, more respect. I offer a gentle, supportive space for you, because you deserve to feel safe, heard and respected during pregnancy and birth.

This is a space rooted in evidence, compassion and birth rights. A place where autonomy matters, questions are welcome, and you are always at the centre of your care.

If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place!

⭐THE PURPLE LINE⭐

What is it? The purple line is a line of temporary skin discoloration that can be seen in the a**l cleft of some women/birthers as they progress in labour. In early labour, the line is short and it gets longer as labour progresses. (Swipe left on carousel image to see a diagram of this)

It's important to note that this line only tends to be purple (and sometimes red) in birthers with white skin tones. The line colour for Black and brown skin is silvery grey colour.

Studies show that the purple line is present in 76% - 89% of (white) women during active labour.*

Why is is useful?
There is a correlation between the length of the line and cervical dilation and the descent/station of the baby's head. This means that it can be a very useful tool in identifying progression in labour if you are not wanting to have any vaginal examinations (which are totally optional and not mandatory by the way!)

Positioning also plays a part on identifying the purple line. Evidence shows it was clearer to observe on birthers that were learning forwards or on all fours. So that's worth keeping in mind too if you're going to use the purple line as a guide to cervical opening in labour.

Did you know about the purple line? Did you use this method to track progress in labour?

(I know the ⭐️ over the butt hole seems excessive, but last time I posted this Instagram deemed it as nudity and took it down 🫠)

⭐HYPNOBIRTHING ANTENATAL COURSE⭐

Hello preggo peeps! I'm Terri and I make it my mission to prepare you fully for your labour and birth through teaching you my antenatal education course (which just happens to have the kinda s**t name of Hypnobirthing!) and my next course is on the 8th & 22nd March from 10am - 3pm in Newquay.

If you want to boss your birth. If you want to feel educated, prepared, ready, and dare I say it, even excited about giving birth - you're in the right place!

You deserve so much more than to just 'get through birth'. You deserve to have a positive experience, to feel calm, safe, powerful and excited! And the wonderful thing is, I can show you how!

Invest in your birth experience in the same way you would invest in your wedding or a dream holiday. You know you are worth it and the experience will stay with you forever, so why not do everything in your power to make it positive!

This course it's not 'fluffy' like the name Hypnobirthing suggests - It's factual, truthful, practical and empowering.

Take control of your birth experience, let go for your fear; I can show you that birth can be a positive experience no matter what path you choose.

Only 3 spaces remaining on this course! Get off the fence and get in my DMs. Promise you won't regret it!

⭐️NEW SERVICE LAUNCH:⭐️
Doula in My Pocket
(And yes… it’s exactly as good as it sounds.)

This idea is born from a Hypnobirthing client saying to me after her course 'I wish I could just keep you in my pocket' - well now you can!

Imagine having a doula in your corner — cheering you on, grounding you, answering your questions, supporting you to navigate the maternity system, and reminding you of your power… right there in your pocket!

Introducing my brand new Virtual Doula Support Packages.
For anyone who wants the care, guidance, evidence-based info and emotional support of a Doula — without wanting/needing someone physically in the room.

Here’s what you get:
💛 Unlimited WhatsApp support (Mon–Fri, 9–4) — ask me anything, big or small
💛 On-call support for labour & birth — voice notes, calls, real-time guidance, grounding and advocacy tips when it matters most.
💛 My 12+ years of experience distilled into everyday support.
💛 Birth confidence, informed choices, emotional steadiness — the things that truly transform a birth experience.

This is perfect for you if…
🌙 You want continuous emotional support
🌙 You’re feeling overwhelmed by the system
🌙 You want someone who’s in your corner, 100%
🌙 You want Doula support, but an in-person package is out of your budget
🌙 You want to go into birth feeling calm, informed and powerful.

Birth shouldn’t feel lonely. You deserve support that is accessible, knowledgeable, and genuinely empowering — wherever you are.

If you’re ready to feel held, informed and powerful, Doula in My Pocket is now live on my website and I have availability for December!

Your birth, your way — with a Doula only one message away. (I know it's cheesy but I like it!🤣)

⭐️"HOW MUCH?"⭐️

I'm gonna cut right to the chase - I know the price puts you off! You email me so keen and full of enthusiasm and then I reply with the all the information on my course, but your eyes scan straight down to the find the price, and suddenly your keen enthusiasm to participate on an amazing course that could, quite literally, change your life has all of a sudden disappeared and you're questioning if you 'really' need it after all! I get it - I was you!!

14 years ago I did the same! The thought of trying to find 'extra' for a Hypnobirthing course when we were already spending out on so much for our new baby already seemed daunting! But, we jigged things around, because we saw the importance of it and we made it work... and you know what, it was the best decision I EVER MADE! It was a complete game changer! In all my 12 years of teaching Hypnobirthing I have never had a single person tell me that it wasn't worth the investment! Not one!

We know that anything in this world that is good quality comes at a price. Yes, I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can buy a book, follow some kick ass Instagram accounts that give loads of free content, download some tracks to listen to... but it's not the same! There is a reason why we have schools, colleges and Universities - to be taught by trained and passionate professionals who are specialists in their field, because it's proven that this is the best way to learn!

Stop putting yourself and your needs at the bottom of the money list - you are worth investing in, and your birth experience is worth investing in. You are worth so much more than the matching bedding and curtain set for the nursery! Ask yourself what is most important to you - if it's to feel prepared, educated, powerful and ready, armed with tools and techniques to help you make your birth a positive one, then the link is in my bio to book on to my course! To quote Amy (a previous client who also um'd and ah'd on if spending out was worth it) "It's the best money you will ever spend on yourself and your baby, and you are worth it."

Payment plans available on request.

⭐THINKING OF DOING A HYPNOBIRTHING COURSE WITH ME?⭐

Firstly, I'm gonna be honest, because we all know... There are plenty of different ways to do hypnobirthing.
You could read a book, you could take a prerecorded course, you could find an instructor (there’s plenty of us out there.)

And if you really wanted to I’m sure you could gather bits and bobs for free from YouTube.

However, you are here.
Reading my posts, following my account and listening to what I’ve got to say.

People don’t take my hypnobirthing course for the sake of it. There’s a reason they pick ME to guide them on this pretty significant journey!

Am I the cheapest option? No.

Am I the option that is going to fill you with confidence and the ability to take control of your birth like an utter badass?
Yes!

Am I going to ensure you feel like the strong confident human that you are!
HELL YES!!

The people I work with - my clients, they don’t do my course thinking I'm going to tell them you’ll open up like a flower and your baby with glide out.
They do my course because they know they are not going to get any fluff.
They know I don’t sugar coat things - I prepare you fully, with truth, facts, and evidence based information.
They know that if they need me, I'm there.
They know I teach in a way they can understand and that there is no such thing as a silly question!

I am worth every penny!
12 years teaching Hypnobirthing and not once has anyone regretted their investment. Your birth is one of the most important days of your life.
So invest in it - join me and 100's of other families who have prepared for their birth with Cornwall Hypnobirthing!

I have 1 space left for private Hypnobirthing in November and 2 in December. Group Hypnobirthing courses have paused until March 2025 due to being a very busy Doula! For more info check out the link in my bio or drop me a DM.

⭐️WHAT MAKES LABOUR FLOW (AND WHAT MAKES IT FALTER)⭐️

Labour is a delicate dance between body, mind, and hormones — and the environment you’re in has everything to do with how that dance flows.

When we protect the things labour loves — safety, trust, calm, oxytocin, dimmed lights, and familiar voices — birth unfolds more smoothly and comfortably.

But when we add in the things labour loathes — bright lights, loud noises, rushing, fear, or poor communication — the body’s natural rhythm can stall.

Whether you’re birthing at home, in a birth centre, or in hospital, you can create an environment that works with your body, not against it. Remember , your birth space matters — more than most people realise!

Think: calm breathing, soft lighting, trusted people, time, and respect.
That’s where the magic happens.✨️

Want to learn more about how to prepare for labour and birth? Visit www.cornwallhypnobirthing.co.uk or DM me to start the conversation about how I can support you.

⭐️CORNWALL HYPNOBIRTHING FROM AN AI PERSPECTIVE⭐️

Not saying that Chat GPT always gets it right (clearly, cause I've been in this game 12 years not 8!) but it's pretty spot on with its conclusion of Cornwall Hypnobirthing's antenatal course.

⭐️Personalised and Supportive
⭐️Empowering and Informative
⭐️Comprehensive Antenatal Education
⭐️Flexible Learning
⭐️Positive Experience
⭐️5* Rating

"Clients praise the supportive, empowering and informative courses, which provide tools, resources, and knowledge to foster a calm and confident birth experience."

My October group course starts in 2 weeks (and is my last group course of 2025) and I have some limited availability remaining for private Hypnobirthing courses in October. November is booking up too, so don't keep yourself sitting on the fence for too long!
