Myth: Hypnobirthing is ONLY for homebirth 🏠❌

Think again! 💥

Hypnobirthing isn't about where you give birth - it's about how you prepare through pregnancy and how you approach labour and birth.

Whether you're planning a hospital birth, a c-section, or a homebirth, the powerful tools and techniques will help you to stay calm, confident, and in control. 🧘‍♀️💪

Swipe to read real stories from hospital births where hypnobirthing made all the difference ✨

Want to prepare for a calm and confident hospital birth (including planned and unplanned caesarean births)? Comment CALM below and I will send you details of my 1:1 hypnobirthing courses.

💛 July is Group B Strep Awareness Month 💛

Group B Strep (GBS) is one of the many bacteria that naturally live in our bodies - and most of the time, it causes no harm at all.

In pregnancy, GBS can sometimes be passed on during birth, and in rare cases, it may lead to serious infections in newborns. But the good news is, with the right information and care, the risks can be reduced.

🧪Testing for GBS isn’t routine in the UK, and it’s often only picked up by chance during a swab or urine test for something else.
🏠If you want to be sure, you can choose to do a simple private home test.
💊If GBS is found, antibiotics during labour can help protect your baby and are usually only needed in certain situations.

The more we know, the more confident we can feel in our choices. 💛

3 things you’ll never hear me say on a hypnobirthing course:

🚫 “All that matters is a healthy baby”
🚫 “Say no to the drugs”
🚫 “Now I’m going to hypnotise you”

Because hypnobirthing isn’t about rigid rules or hocus pocus nonsense - it’s about informed choices, confidence, and feeling calm and in control, however your birth unfolds. 💛

🌍 Today is World Population Day 💛

Every one of the 8 billion people on Earth began with a birth story -a moment of strength, transformation, and love.

There are individual journeys behind each birth:

The birthing mamas.
The parents navigating choices.
The children becoming futures.

Currently, young people around the world are facing huge challenges when it comes to starting and growing a family. Economic uncertainty, social pressures, and limited access to support can make parenthood feel out of reach. But no one should ever feel that way.

Whether you’re just beginning to imagine becoming a parent or already preparing for birth, you deserve support, respect, and access to care.
Your family. Your way.

Growing your tribe? 👶👶👶

You can influence your story (and your baby’s) by preparing for a confident, positive, and informed pregnancy and birth.

DM me to find out more about my antenatal courses. I’d love to support you!

✨ Anxious about birth? Here’s how I know a calm and positive birth is possible for you.

Because I’ve supported women who felt exactly like you do now -and watched them go on to have beautiful, empowering births they never thought possible.

I want to share one mum's incredible story of transformation, calm, and confidence. 💛

This lovely client came to me struggling with anxiety and prenatal depression. She chose to do a 1:1 hypnobirthing course because she wanted to feel prepared, but more than anything -she wanted to feel calm.

✨ Here’s what happened…

✅She learned how her body actually works in labour and how fear can affect the process.
✅She practiced breathing and relaxation techniques every day -simple tools that made a big difference.
✅She prepared with her partner, who also gained the knowledge and confidence to support her beautifully.

Then labour began…
🕯️ She stayed calm at home and worked with her birth hormones by getting cosy, using her playlist, favourite foods, and her birth ball.
😌She used her relaxation tools to remain calm whilst being triaged at hospital.
🌳She used her breath through each contraction and felt grounded even as labour intensified.
🤍 Her partner supported her with relaxation tools and techniques, using everything they'd learned together.
🤰 She followed her instincts and what felt right for her body.
👶 And just before 1am, their beautiful baby girl arrived.

She said:
“Despite all my fears, I felt in full control of my body and my choices. I had the most beautiful birth. I was so knowledgeable and confident walking into hospital, and I honestly can't thank Debbie enough.”

This is why I do what I do. Seeing someone go from feeling scared to feeling strong and in control -it changes your pregnancy and birth experience and introduction to motherhood.

💌 If you're feeling anxious about birth, you don't have to stay stuck in that place.
Send me a message or comment 'CALM' below and we can chat about how my 1:1 hypnobirthing course can help you feel calm, confident, and ready -just like this amazing mama.

You've got this 💪
