And after baby arrives there are supportive Mum & Baby Yoga classes and Baby Massage Courses too, and my online Calm & Empowered Motherhood course too. On the journey to having a baby I have specialist expertise and training in Fertility Yoga and Fertility Coaching too. I am also a Birth Trauma support and recovery practitioner, and offer services to help you after a difficult previous birth, antenatal or postnatal experience or a birth injury.

- How your amazing body works to birth your baby
- The scientific connection between mind and body
- How to stay calm and in control no matter what happens
- How your birth partner can be your ultimate birth supporter, so you become a 'birthing dream' team. The techniques you learn on my course really are skills for life too, and you'll both take them forward into amazing journey of parenthood. I add in MUCH more than a 'standard' hypnobirthing or antenatal course too - active birth & movement, aromatherapy, yoga techniques and more. And do check out the NEW For Modern Mothers Podcast too (available on all podcast providers, Just search for 'For Modern Mothers'). Basically I'm insanely passionate about helping all mothers and birthing people take control of their bodys, their minds, their lives & their goals. And I love questions, so do let me know what your are! warmest wishes

+* Donāt miss the Cold Moon, the
final supermoon of 2025! **
The Cold Moon rises tonight around 2:48 pm reaching full illumination at 11:14 pm.
So for all of us in the UK, the best time to catch it is at moonrise or after sunset, then continue watching through the night.
Whether youāre out for a walk or looking up from home, this supermoon promises one of the brightest, most beautiful full moon nights of the year.
Fingers crossed for clear skies!

Women in the UK are being shortchanged. š°š°š°
Equal Pay Day was yesterday.
That means from today, women effectively stop being paid - compared with men.š¤¬
Itās not fair. Itās not inevitable.
The Budget is next week. Women should be at the forefront of the Chancellorās plans. Treat us fairly, pay us equally, and give us the support we need to flourish at work.
(Closing the pay gap = adding Ā£55b to the national wages and boosts productivity)
If youāre a woman - youāre being shortchanged. Find out by how much with our new Equal Pay Day Calculator: https:// bit.ly/485Ldf5
Iāll be at the gorgeous festive Art & Craft Winter Fair at

Pregnancy is often a worrying time for women, so I thought this could be useful to share.
Not all worry is the same, some is GOOD - some is NOT!

For Modern Mothers - for a positive and empowered pregnancy, birth and motherhood.
Hello and welcome! For Modern Mothers is dedicated to helping you have a positive pregnancy, labour, birth and motherhood experience. Founded by me, Susan (hello!), I simply want to help you FEEL BETTER in both body and mind, by learning amazing skills and practical techniques which really support you on your journey to motherhood and beyond. I teach Hypnobirthing & Complete Antenatal courses (all the antenatal and birth prep you need) and Pregnancy Yoga classes, workshops, retreats and private lessons, Mum & Baby Yoga classes and Baby Massage, as well as being a Doula - in and around York. I have taught hundreds of women and couples to prepare to meet their babies - so you are in very safe and experienced hands. My approach is unbiased, fact based, no BS antenatal education, and includes a complete and unique mind and body approach.
COVID-19 UPDATE: ALL my course and classes WILL continue to run. They will be LIVESTREAMED, in person (just virtually via Zoom from my home to yours). Still hugely social, meet other local parents to be, still the best techniques to stay calm, strong and relaxed, you still get all your individual questions and queries answered.
Hypnobirthing & Complete Antenatal Courses and private lessons. My program informs and empowers you for a calm, confident, positive and empowered pregnancy and birth. Helping both you and your partner to become a real 'birthing dream team'. Eliminating any fears you have about your birth and filling you with confidence to have a positive birth experience - whatever labour throws at you and however you choose to birth.
By choosing the For Modern Mothers hypnobirthing course as your complete antenatal preparation you really understand:
- How your amazing body works to birth your baby
- The scientific connection between mind and body
- How to stay calm and in control no matter what happens
- How your birth partner can be your ultimate birth supporter, so you become a birthing dream team.
Youāll learn a whole ātoolboxā of techniques (breathing, visualisation, active birth and movement massage, self-hypnosis, anchors, mindfulness, meditations, deep relaxation, aromatherapy) on my course that really are skills for life too, and you'll both take them forward into amazing journey of parenthood. Weāll also look at yoga movement and postures to benefit you during labour and birth, learn how you can help position your baby, active birth and also look at planning for the post natal period too. Itās a holistic approach of mind and body and finding a connection to your deep intuition.
Every pregnancy and birth is different, and whilst I can't promise you that hypnobirthing will give you your perfect birth I can assure you it will make a positive difference. I can also let you know that by the end of the course you will be feeling calmer, more positive and more prepared for the rest of your pregnancy and your birth.
Do get in touch for more information or to book onto my group, 1 to 1 or refresher Hypnobirthing & Birth Preparation courses, and also my Pregnancy Yoga classes, Mum & Baby Yoga, and Baby Massage Courses. And I love questions about birth, so do let me know what yours are!
And for tips, wisdom and inspiration on a daily basis simply join our tribe by ālikingā my page and youāll get regular For Modern Mothers goodness every day.
warmest wishes
