My Passion

to teach pregnant women the skills to birth mindfully and achieve a positive birth experience

My Vision is

that all pregnant women develop mindful Hypnobirthing skills as part of the birthing process, and the cultivation of mindful relationship with their partner, their growing baby and most importantly themselves

As a midwife I have been paying attention to the birthing process for more than 25 years and I am passionate about anything to do with childbirth and supporting parents-to-be during this exhilarating but also challenging time. I have attended births at home and in hospital and facilitated antenatal classes within the structure of the NHS and privately.

​

Very little antenatal education is available that teaches expecting parents the skills to work with pain and fear which is the biggest challenge of childbirth. Learning how to engage the Mind to work with the body is powerful and effective when it comes to childbirth. Accessing these skills are simple but they need to be taught and practiced.

​

My deepest desire is to share my comprehensive knowledge and extensive experience within the field of childbirth and offer true and honest birth preparation that is rooted in self care and realistic expectations ; and available for all to access... with a little professional guidance :)

​

Having supported hundreds of women through pregnancy and birth it is clear that what women need is a fear free labour & birth and tools to get them through it. Mindful Hypnobirthing IS that tool!
