The Birthing Well

The Birthing Well I run pregnancy yoga and Hypnobirthing classes in York City Centre.

My classes are relaxed and informal and aim to help you to experience a positive pregnancy and prepare for the birth of your baby.

Hypnobirthing isn't just for homebirths or water births or calm serene people who don't shout and swear.

Hypnobirthing can be for Hospital births, for epidural, for caeseareans.

For the births that go to plan and the births that don't.

Hypnobirthing can be beneficial whatever type of birth you're planning.

My group hypnobirthing courses talk a lot about birthing in hospital because that's what most people are doing.

We talk about what to expect, what can happen, how you can navigate the maternity system. And how you can prepare for birth whatever happens.

If you are interested in Hypnobirthing come along to my next group course starting in July!

19 months feeding Artie! It's gone by in a flash and has been full of bumps (literal blocked ducts and emotional ones) blissful feeds and quite a lot of frustration that he still feels allllll the time day and night!

l'll feed for as long as it's working for us. It's tough but it still works, for now.

Whatever stage you're at during your feeding journey I'm here to help with any worries or concerns that you may have. So please get in touch if you need support!

Today I hung up my NHS uniform. After 7 months back in blue working as a community midwife I've decided to fly solo once more.

It's been a great few months working with an amazing team of midwives and some really special patients and their babies.

But I've my business and my classes and working with families in a slightly different way.

I'm looking forward to relaunching my classes, courses and lactation support in the coming months!

Exciting times ahead but also a little sad this evening. So much of my who I am is linked to being a midwife. I have to remind myself that there are many ways to care and support families as a midwife and the NHS is not the only way! Onwards and upwards!

A few snipets from a lovely birth story about hypnobirthing and unplanned caesarean. This is a special one. These clients are from my last group hypnobirthing group and worked so incredibly hard at their mindset around birth. They went into birth positive, excited and prepared.

Their birth didn't go how they planned it to but they still came out feeling really positive about the experience. Sometimes intervention is needed and is essential for a safe birth. 

You can read the full story in my blog. The link is in my bio.

Reintroduction time. I'm Rose, mum of 3, NHS community midwife, IBCLC and yoga enthusiast based in York.

I love birth! I love preparing people for birth so that they can feel powerful, so that they can feel confident in their body and so that they can make decisions that are right for them and for their babies. 

I am passionate about physiological birth and homebirth but also about helping women to understand what they need to have the birth that they want. Every birth is different and every birth is special however it happens.

I've breastfed all 3 of my babies and am a qualified Lactation Consultant.

I live in York with my husband, 3 kids and cat Stevie. 

I love running, being outside, eating cake and drinking tea. One day I dream of returning to Scotland and moving to the Isle of Mull.

We lived in Glasgow for 7.5 years where I birthed my babies and grew my business The Birthing Well.

I often over share, over think and worry about ridiculous things!

After 8 fab years in Glasgow we've made the decision to move back down south to be closer to our families.

It's now only 5 weeks until we pack up all our stuff and head off on this next adventure.

So it's time to shut up shop for now. I'll be taking on a new job in the NHS come September and The Birthing Well will temporarily go on hold for a while whilst we settle in to our new home and city.

I have loved living and running my business here and am so grateful for all of my amazing clients who have made the last few years so wonderful. 

It's going to be an emotional few weeks as I finish up with Hypnobirthing, breastfeeding clients and Bump and Baby Club and as we say goodbye to all our family and friends. But am really looking forward to the next chapter!
