Born This Way

Born This Way Mother and Baby Wellness Classes The Born This Way Hypnobirthing programme is a full antenatal education programme with a positive approach.

The course teaches you how to have a positive experience no matter what type of birth you have and prepares you for all eventualities. The course teaches lots of tools to empower you and your birth companion to feel confident for the birthing day. The Hypno part involves teaching you techniques to learn how to become relaxed and in control. You will be the person that decides what you want to focus on and when you are in a deeply relaxed state you become more open to positive suggestions. The Hypno part also involves teaching the mind new, positive messages about birth which helps to remove learned messages that are no longer useful as you navigate your birth experience. The relaxation tools help to override negative thoughts of birth being something that should fill you with fear and dread. The Born This Way Hypnobirthing programme is taught over 10 hours as private sessions in the comfort of your own home or via zoom as live online sessions. I love seeing the difference I can help make to couples and hope to work with you soon.

2025, you were big 🤍

This year I supported 126 hypnobirthing clients — and every single one trusted me with one of the most important days of their lives. That never gets lost on me.

✨ 6 in-person group courses
✨ 2 live Zoom group courses
✨ Private Zoom sessions with families all over the world (including teaching in Japan — still wild to say)
✨ Launched the Born This Way Club — ongoing support, Ask the Midwife, and a space my clients don’t have to “graduate” from
✨ Supported families through my on-demand course, making hypnobirthing more accessible than ever
✨ And had the honour of supporting two very special families and as their birth doula

What matters most isn’t the numbers — it’s the shift I see every time:
from fear ➝ understanding
from overwhelm ➝ trust
from “what if” ➝ “I’ve got this”

Thank you to every family who chose to prepare differently in 2025.
This work is my heart — and we’re only getting started ✨

Save this post!

One of the simplest postpartum tips I share — and one that makes a huge difference 💗

Little feeding baskets dotted around the house mean less getting up, less scrambling, and more time to just sit, feed, rest and breathe.

Water within reach.
Snacks you can eat one-handed.
Spare muslins and nappies when you need them.
Your phone charger exactly where you are.

Tiny preparations like this aren’t about being organised for the sake of it —
they’re about protecting your energy in those early days.

Future-you will be very grateful.

Welcome to the world, Rory ✨

Huge congratulations to Caitlin & Chris 💗
Supporting you both through a private birth preparation session was such a privilege.

You showed up with openness, asked the right questions, and built the kind of calm, grounded confidence that carries you through birth — whatever turns it takes.

This photo is such a beautiful reminder that preparation isn’t about control…
it’s about trust, understanding, and feeling ready to meet your baby 💫

So much love to your new little family

Welcome to the world, Jett ✨

Micheala and Grant prepared for birth together in my group course — and Micheala showed that you don’t need to be fearless to birth powerfully.

You just need understanding, support, and trust in yourself.

So proud of you both 🤍

🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄

As this year comes to a close, I’m feeling so incredibly grateful.

This has been the busiest year in my business so far — and at the heart of it are 126 couples who trusted me to support them as they prepared for birth.

126 families who chose education over fear.
126 partners who showed up, learned, and supported.
128 babies (including 2 sets of twins) welcomed with intention, knowledge and love.

I never take lightly being invited into such a pivotal chapter of someone’s life. Teaching hypnobirthing, holding space, and watching confidence grow will never stop feeling like a privilege 🤍

Thank you for choosing Born This Way Hypnobirthing.
Thank you for recommending me, sharing my work, and trusting me with something that matters so deeply.

Wishing you all a gentle, cosy Christmas filled with love ✨
Here’s to more calm, confident births in the year ahead 🎄🤍

And that’s a wrap ✨
Our final group course of 2025 is complete.

9 incredible couples who started this journey feeling anxious, uncertain, and unsure about birth…
Now finishing it feeling informed, confident, and grounded in their choices.

You showed up.
You invested your time, energy, and trust.
You did the inner work and the practical preparation.

Watching the shift in how you talk about birth — from fear to belief — is why I do this.
I am so deeply proud of every single one of you.

Thank you for choosing me to walk this part of your journey with you 🤍
Your births will be all the better for the preparation you’ve done.

Thanks to for the amazing space as always x

Welcome to the world, Ari ✨

Huge congratulations to Anya and Akis who joined my Hamilton group course.

Anya did an incredible job welcoming baby Ari into the world. Calm, confident and deeply in tune with her body — a true reflection of the preparation and mindset she brought into her birth.

Huge congratulations to Brogan & Bryan on the arrival of beautiful baby Goldie💗

It has been such a privilege to support you through my group course and to witness the confidence and strength you carried into birth.

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you as without your course we wouldn’t have been able to be strong and firm in our decisions. The birth went so well and I knew I was made for it during the hardest of parts. Brian was my biggest cheerleader and motivator.”

This is exactly what empowered birth looks like — informed, supported, and deeply connected. Welcome to the world, Goldie ✨

This week, the UK crossed a line we should all be paying attention to.

More babies are now born by caesarean than vaginally.

And yet, once again, the conversation is drifting towards women’s bodies — their age, their weight, their “risk”.

But here’s what I see every day as a midwife and hypnobirthing teacher:

👉 Fear is shaping birth more than physiology ever has.

When birth is framed as dangerous by default…
When people are taught what to fear but not how birth works…
When calm, confidence and understanding are missing…

Intervention becomes more likely — not because bodies are failing, but because fear changes how labour unfolds.

Caesareans save lives.
They are sometimes the right choice.
And they deserve respect — not shame.

But fear should never be the reason birth takes the path it does.

This is why birth education matters more now than ever.

Not to promise a “perfect” birth.
Not to avoid intervention at all costs.
But to replace fear with understanding, and pressure with choice.

Because informed, supported parents make different decisions.
And calmer nervous systems create very different birth experiences.

We don’t need to blame women.
We need to change the narrative.

My final Zoom group class with these amazing parents-to-be, all holding the same manual… but leaving with something far more powerful:

🧠 a calmer mindset
🗣️ confidence to advocate
🤍 trust in their bodies and their birth

This is what transformation looks like 💗
From fear ➡️ confidence
From ‘what if it all goes wrong?’ ➡️ ‘I trust myself and my choices’

This is why I do this work.
Not to ‘teach birth’ — but to help people feel safe in it.
So grateful for this incredible group and the transformations I’ve witnessed over these weeks.

When someone you love is pregnant, you want to give them more than “stuff.” 🎄

You want to give reassurance.
You want to give confidence.
You want to give them something that helps them feel ready, not scared.

A Born This Way Hypnobirthing Christmas gift voucher is exactly that.

It’s support during the moments of doubt.
It’s tools for staying calm when things feel uncertain.
It’s learning how to trust their body, understand their options, and approach birth feeling informed and empowered — whatever their birth looks like.

This is the gift that keeps working long after Christmas Day.
Long after the wrapping paper is gone.
Right up to the moment they meet their baby.

🎁 Christmas gift vouchers available now
Because the best gifts aren’t things — they’re how someone feels.
