NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL

Everyone is different. We are motivated by different things, have different strengths and weaknesses and different ways of approaching things.

I ensure the course content reflects what my couples want to achieve from their pregnancy and birth, which is why we always start with where you want to get to.

Your way is best!

There is no doubt that Hypnobirthing works best when a couple makes it their own.

LETTING GO OF PRESSURE

I draw on my own experiences of birth, one that didn't go to plan and one that did, to help my couples understand that there is no such thing as 'success or failure' when it comes to birth.

All that matters is that my couples feel they have done the best they can for a smooth birth and that they've felt empowered to make informed decisions through their pregnancy and birth.

I want to ensure that they, and you, feel proud of yourself, however birth goes.
