✨ A little update from me… ✨

I’ve had a few messages recently from people asking if I’m still practising as they can't see any updates online, which made me realise I haven’t actually posted in quite a while!

In short, I’m still here doing the work I love. I’ve just been a little quieter online. The pause has been really needed and has given me space to reset and reflect on what’s next, both personally and professionally.

I continue to work with hypnotherapy clients looking for long-term, meaningful change, and I’ll have some space for new clients from December/January onwards.

More to come soon, but for now, thank you to everyone who’s reached out, referred friends or simply thought of me. It means a lot.

💫 HypnoBirthing Refresher Course - gauging interest

✨ Over the past week, a couple of lovely past clients have been in touch - both expecting again and wanting to reconnect with the tools and techniques that helped them feel calm and confident before.

For a while now, I’ve been working mainly 1:1, which I’ve really enjoyed but these recent messages have made me realise how much I’ve missed the connection and energy of group courses. Not to mention the post-birth catch-ups and cake!

So, I’m exploring whether to run a small HypnoBirthing Refresher Course for parents preparing to welcome their next baby.

This would be a relaxed, supportive space to come back to your calm, refresh your mindset, and revisit the practical techniques that really make a difference.

🕯️ What it might include:

A mix of online and in-person sessions (around 6-8 hours in total)

A focus on the most effective tools and techniques for birth

Time to reconnect with your calm, positive mindset

The chance to meet other like-minded parents preparing for their next chapter

The course will mainly focus on tools and techniques rather than the full educational content, though I’m very open to suggestions and happy to provide extra support with birth choices and information if needed.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, or you know someone who might, I’d love to hear from you. Comment below or send me a quick message to register your interest. 💌

💫This will be my last Hypnobirthing course of 2024…possibly forever as I focus on other areas of the business so I’d love to to make it a lovely social one😃

👶Are you due to have a baby before February 2025?

🥰Would you like to join a group of fellow parents learning useful tools and techniques for birth with a few giggles and a lot of support along the way?

🤰I’ve been working with expectant parents for over a decade and have many reviews, birth stories and testimonials. If you’d like a brochure and more details or are ready to book on, just send me a message.

🤰My Hypnobirthing Journey🤰

✨15 years ago, I faced a traumatic pregnancy marked by two close family bereavements and unexpected complications. It was a time of intense grief and confusion with many decisions to navigate and meetings with different consultants in Plymouth and Bristol, yet hypnobirthing and hypnotherapy became my anchor, allowing me to stay in control, manage overwhelming stress, and make the best decisions for my baby.

🙌This experience sparked a passion in me to transform the way hypnobirthing is taught. It shouldn’t just be about natural birth and a few breathing techniques; it should empower women throughout their lives, not just during childbirth.

🥰That’s why I created The Empowered Birth Experience.

❓What Makes My Course Unique:

☀️Personalised Approach: No two births are the same. I tailor each session to your unique needs and preferences.

Beyond Hypnobirthing Basics: We go beyond the standard techniques, equipping you with skills to manage anxiety, cope with pain, and feel supported right up to birth and beyond - with a postnatal meet-up included!

Practical Tools & Resources: You’ll get a treasure trove of materials, research, and specially recorded MP3s to guide you through every stage.

Experienced Guidance: Benefit from my extensive experience as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Hypnobirthing Practitioner.

Life-Long Skills: These techniques aren’t just for labour; they’ll help you manage stress and anxiety in all areas of life.

Unique Content: My course is a blend of proven techniques, personal insights, and decades of experience.

Ready to Feel Prepared, Supported & Empowered?

Join The Empowered Birth Experience and approach your birth with the confidence you deserve, no matter what path your journey takes. Contact me today to book your place - next course starts in October and is already booking up😃

WHAT’S THE POINT OF HYPNOBIRTHING?

“I really wanted to look back at the birth of my 3rd baby and remember it fondly, not looking back and remembering it as a horrific painful experience, like my previous births.”⁠

When Ruth joined my Hypnobirthing Information session, she was exploring different options and wanted to understand what made my course stand out from the rest.

After two challenging birth experiences and trying another antenatal course that didn’t quite meet her needs, Ruth was determined to approach this birth differently. She was eager to see how Hypnobirthing could help her overcome her fears and what it would be like to work with me. I was thrilled when she decided to join the course after our session together.

At the start of each Hypnobirthing course, I ask parents to set their goals and intentions for the birth. Ruth’s wish was clear: to stay calm, feel in control, and be fully present throughout the entire experience.

To say Ruth achieved her goal is an understatement. Calm, in control, and fully present—that’s exactly how she navigated her third birth.

If you’re curious about how I can support you in preparing for a positive birth experience, why not request a brochure today! It includes pricing details and inspiring client birth stories. Drop a comment or message, and I’ll send it your way! ✨
