Love Your Birth

11/06/2025

It is said that 90% of birth is in the mind, so one of the most powerful ways you can prepare for your baby's birthing day is to gain knowledge and tools to keep your mind in a safe, loved, supported and happy place. Whether I'm seeing you one on one or in a group, in our sessions together we will cover all the amazing Hypnobirthing tools and techniques such as breathing, visualisations, mindfulness, relaxation and self-hypnosis, which will all help to keep a positive mindset and melt away fears and anxieties. You'll discover all about your incredible body and learn how to trust your body's amazing ability to bring your little one the world. We'll go through the phases of birth, the twists and turns, be given tools to use during labour, and ultimately by the end of our time together you will have gained calm confidence in yourself and your abilities, and be ready to embrace your birthing experience xo If this sounds like a bit of you I'd love to hear from you.

A lovely email from a recent client. We had 2 fabulous sessions together, that's 6 hours of knowledge, tools, support and preparation. It's amazing what we can cover in that amount of time! And now Kenzie is at home practicing, preparing, feeling confident and self assured. Thanks for these beautiful words Kenzie, they were sunshine on this wintery day 🌞 You've got this xo 🌺

"We enjoyed our time with you so so much and both feel a sense of calm after learning about Hypnobirthing! I am feeling so content and confident going into labour/birth and am so excited! All thanks to you!
I am loving going between the audio tracks and it has helped me so much with my sleep, whether it’s falling asleep or helping me get back to sleep in the night. I have gotten better at listening to the affirmation tracks and have noticed myself trying to talk nicer to myself haha. I’m not a huge reader but am slowly but surely getting through the book - which I love!
Thank you so much for all the documents you have sent through, they are going to be amazing for us. I am just so thankful and happy I chose you & hypnobirthing. I have definitely found myself nesting and doing all the things, especially getting massages 🤣 although that’s only because I hurt my back lifting children .. but lapping it up while I can nonetheless!! Only 2 more weeks of work and then I’ll rest! 🤩🤞🏻🧚🏻‍♀️ We appreciate you so much and can’t wait to let you know when our baby girl arrives! Thank you! X

I’ve had many moments like this recently, Mr 10 and Miss 7 are so tall, so cheeky, growing into independent humans with big dreams. And it’s so amazing to be a part of they journey but if I could choose to go back in time to one day it would always be a day where they were a squishy little bubba that fitted in my arms ❤️

As your mom, I will always take the picture.

My phone is filled with thousands of images of your sweet face, millions of pixels that when pieced together, capture the most mundane and marvelous parts of watching you grow up.

I will never not jump at the chance to hold onto them, just for a little bit longer.

Because someday,

They will be all I have of you, right at this very moment.

Right at this very age, right at this exact stage.

Snapshots and memories of the little person you are now.

And truly, I can’t wait to see who are you next.

I’m so excited to meet each person you become as you grow, and love them just as fiercely, with my whole heart.

But there’s so much sadness in the inevitable truth—

That in order to say hello,

I’ll have to say goodbye first.

To each and every version of you that came before.

The tiny infant, the gangly toddler, the curious preschooler, the big little kid, and every “you” you’ll ever be after that.

So here I am, caught saying hello and goodbye to you, over and over again, for the rest of my life.

And all I have to remember from between each one . . . is the picture.

That’s why

I will 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 take the picture.

Wahoo, congratulations Katharina & Julien, so happy for you and baby Otto, you are AMAZING!! 🌹
Katharina came to me at 35 weeks pregnant wanting to learn some tools for labour, not having enough time to do the full Hypnobirthing course we booked in a couple of 2.5 hour private sessions, and I'm delighted to say the outcome is one very happy family, this fills my heart big time. Learning how magnificent your body is and how to keep that mind in it's happy place is incredibly powerful 💛 xo
