💖I never get tired of teaching Hypnobirthing because I believe that you and your birth partner make the most amazing team and can learn so much together, and grow as a couple.

It literally makes me so proud to see how much work my Plymouth expectant parents put into communicating their feelings to each other - learning what each other needs to feel confident and supported for labour and birth. 🤩

✔️If you are expecting this year, follow along for more birth prep and Hypnobirthing tips for you and your partner.

⚠I’m sorry, I'm not here to scare you or tell you how your birth should look.

My approach to hypnobirthing is simple - no fear-based stories, no overwhelming information, no rigid rules… and definitely no 'just wing it' advice.

Because positive birth isn’t about using a few breathing techniques or getting birth 'right'… it’s about preparing, understanding and asking questions.

👍If this feels like the kind of support you’ve been looking for, come and join me.

📅I have limited spots open for local Plymouth and Devon 1:1 hypnobirthing courses this spring/summer. Suitable from 20+ weeks gestation.

🗨 DM me 'Ready' and lets chat about your pregnancy and birth.

✨A quick introduction to me and why I teach private 1:1 Hypnobirthing courses to couples in Plymouth and surrounding areas of Devon!

Folllow along if you are expecting a baby in 2026 and want to find out more about how I can support you and your birth partner to feel confident and empowered for birth. ✨

🤔Don't you think it's wild to think that most first time mums will go into labour completely unprepared -without even knowing it?

You've probably been to your midwife appointments, asked the questions.

And your Facebook and Instagram feed? It's FULL of tips on how to give birth.

Maybe you've even done the recommended antenatal class and it all felt... reassuring. Like you were ticking the boxes. ✅

But nobody in that room taught you how your body actually works in labour.
Nobody told you that your uterus (aka the womb) is a giant muscular organ that needs certain hormone fuel to work properly during labour.

Or that each contraction you have is one less to come (🙌) because they are not infinite.

So you go into Derriford thinking you're prepared. And then birth happens and it's nothing like you expected.

Not because something went wrong. But because nobody gave you the FULL picture.

You didn’t even think about trusting yourself and your body.

So if you want an empowered birth -to trust that your body knows how to do it, here's what you can do TODAY:

📖Learn the BASICS of birth - you don’t need an A-level in physiology (I use a tennis ball and a sock to demonstrate to my couples!)
🧠Align your mindset to trust your body with positive affirmations and relaxation scripts.
📅Give yourself regular dedicated time to prepare your mind and body - birth is a big event!

And if you want genuine, qualified birth preparation advice from a hypnobirthing instructor (and mum of 2!) make sure you follow Mums Plymouth for more.

This winter, I felt completely lost.
Lost in my business.
Lost in who I even am outside of being ‘Mummy’.

The routines felt heavy. The motivation disappeared.
And honestly? I started questioning everything I’d built in my business AND for me.

Whether you’re pregnant with your first or second baby, or a mummy to older children… it’s so easy to lose your way and feel overwhelmed.

That identity wobble that bubbles up from within.
That feeling of ‘Where did I go in all of this?’
That pressure to keep showing up when you’re running on empty.

If you’ve felt like this too, you’re not alone.
And you’re definitely not failing.

Sometimes, Winter isn’t just a season… it’s a pause. A reset.
And we can experience ‘Winter’ at any time throughout the year.

What’s certain is that after Winter, comes Spring…full of new starts and opportunities to find your way back to you.

I’m slowly finding my way again - and I know you will too.

💬Tell me… have you ever felt like you lost yourself a little in motherhood?

👋Hello again… I’ve been a little quiet over here lately.

After 3 months of what felt like hibernation, it feels so good to step back into this space and reconnect with you.

Behind the scenes, it’s been busy - in the best kind of way. I’ve been pouring time and energy into my business, gently shaping what’s next (and trust me… you’ll want to watch this space 👀 a little rebrand is coming soon).

Life outside of work has been just as full. I’ve been soaking up proper family time, making memories, and even took a special trip over the February half term to meet our beautiful new baby niece in the Netherlands.🥹

I carved out some much-needed time for my own wellness, and kept everything ticking along at home while Matt worked his absolute socks off AND treated himself to a little skiing trip.

It’s been a season of slowing down, realigning, and quietly building… and now I’m ready to be back, sharing more with you again.

As I step back in, I’ve taken time to really reflect on where I can make the biggest impact. And right now, that’s through hypnobirthing. It’s where I know I can truly make a difference to people’s lives during such a special time in pregnancy.

I’m now offering private 1:1 hypnobirthing courses for expectant couples, with appointments available from the beginning of May (weekdays Monday to Thursday, and Sundays.)

If you’re expecting a baby this year and want to feel calm, confident, and prepared for your birth, my DMs are always open. Come and have a chat with me about how I can support you.

If you’re new here - hello 👋 and if you’ve been here a while, thank you for sticking with me!

A truly positive birth story shared by my Plymouth client who completed a one to one hypnobirthing course with her birth partner earlier in the year. 📖✨

It shows just how personal, calm and in control your labour and birth can be.

I love the comical parts too! I always tell birth partners to eat so I'm glad he was listening! 😆

I hope this is useful to read if you are pregnant! Please share to a pregnant mama who may need to read this too. 📩
