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.

Group B Strep (GBS) is one of those topics that can feel confusing, worrying… or just overwhelming when you first hear about it.

But understanding it doesn’t have to feel scary — and it definitely doesn’t have to take away your confidence in birth. 💛

In this carousel I’m breaking down:
✨ What GBS actually is
✨ How and why it’s tested
✨ What a positive result means
✨ Your options in labour
✨ How to stay informed, calm and in control

Remember — knowledge isn’t there to frighten you.
It’s there to empower you to make decisions that feel right for you and your baby.
You’re allowed to ask questions.
You’re allowed to choose what aligns with your values.
You’re allowed to feel confident, even when navigating something new. 💕

If you found this helpful, save this post so you can come back to it — especially as you get closer to your birth.
And feel free to share it with someone who might need that extra bit of reassurance today.

✨ Save the Date ✨

Something big is coming on 05/12… and if you’re pregnant and craving more calm, confidence and control for your birth, you’ll want to mark this one in your diary.

No details yet (I’m keeping those wrapped up for now)
but here’s your hint:

It’s designed for the mums who want:

💫 A mindset that actually supports them in labour

💫 Evidence-based tools that reduce fear-not increase it

💫 A partner who knows exactly how to help

💫 A birth they look back on and think “I did that.”

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to start preparing for birth on your own terms… this is it.

Your calm, confident birth starts here.

While the world says birth is something to fear… tonight nine incredible couples logged on from cosy living rooms in Inverness to city lights in Dubai to learn a different story.
A story where they are in control, calm is possible, and birth becomes something they can actually look forward to.
Because confidence in labour isn’t luck… it’s learned — and they’re doing the work.

Huge congratulations to Jenny and Garry on the safe arrival of little Angus! ✨

Joining my Zoom Hypnobirthing course all the way from the Outer Hebrides, they showed such commitment to preparing for a calm, confident birth — and it truly shines through in this beautiful first family moment.

I’ve been working on something behind the scenes… something for anyone who wants to feel calmer, clearer and more supported as winter approaches. ❄️
It’s almost ready.
And trust me — you’ll want to be first in line when it drops.

“You are going to feel like at some point you can’t do it… that is when your baby is coming.”

This powerful quote describes what many people feel during transition — the most intense, but often shortest, phase of labour.

Transition is the shift between the first and second stage of labour, when the cervix finishes dilating and your body prepares to push. It can come with big emotional and physical sensations: shaking, nausea, feeling overwhelmed, or saying things like “I can’t do this.”

But here’s the truth: you can do it — and this moment often means you are so close to meeting your baby. 💕

In Hypnobirthing, we teach you how to recognise this phase, breathe through it, and stay connected to your inner strength. Your body knows exactly what to do.

✨ Save this post for your birth toolkit — and remember, transition is not a sign you’re failing… it’s a sign your baby is nearly here. 💖

A huge congratulations to Savannah and Ally on welcoming your beautiful boy, Harris 💗

Supporting you both on this journey has been such a joy — watching you lean into your strength, trust your instincts, and create the calm, positive birth you deserved.

I wish more people knew…

A positive birth isn’t defined by the route your baby takes into the world.

It’s defined by how you felt every step of the way.

You can have a beautiful, empowering birth with:

✨ a C-section
✨ an induction
✨ a spontaneous labour
✨ a pool
✨ an epidural
✨ a room full of monitors
✨ or your living room floor

None of these choices make your birth more or less “positive.”

What makes it positive is you feeling calm, informed, supported, and in control of your decisions.

That’s what Hypnobirthing actually gives you —

Not a perfect birth.

Not a guarantee of “natural.”

But the tools, mindset and confidence to navigate any path with strength and peace.

Your birth.
Your body.
Your experience.
Your power. 💛

If you’re ready to prepare for a birth that feels right for you — not one that fits someone else’s idea of “perfect” — my Hypnobirthing course was made for you.

Born This Way Hypnobirthing — because every birth deserves to feel positive.

Welcome to the world, Zak ✨

Massive congratulations to Rebecca and Scott.

Rebecca — you didn’t just get your VBAC, you owned it.

The strength, patience, and trust it takes to go for the birth you believe in is huge, and you showed every bit of it.

So much love for you both as you start this next chapter with your gorgeous family.

One Week to Go! ✨

These pink boxes?
They’re packed with the tools, confidence boosts and mindset shifts that help you go from “I’m terrified” to “I can actually do this.”

And in just 7 days, the next Born This Way Hypnobirthing Zoom Course begins.

If you’ve been feeling:
🤍 Overwhelmed by advice
🤍 Anxious about birth
🤍 Unsure what’s “normal” in labour
🤍 Worried about losing control…

This is your reminder that you don’t have to stay in that headspace.
You deserve calm. You deserve clarity. You deserve to feel ready.

Inside the course, you’ll learn:
✨ How to work with your body
✨ What really helps labour progress
✨ How to advocate confidently in any setting
✨ Tools to stay grounded, focused and in control
✨ A birth plan that actually works for you
✨ …and so much more (but I’ll save the good bits for the Zoom room 😉)

If you want a birth that feels empowering —
not perfect, not predictable, but powerfully yours —
this is your moment.

Missed out this time? The next zoom course starts on the 18th of February which means anyone can join, from anywhere.

No travel, no childcare stress, no rushing. Just you, cosy at home, preparing for the birth you want.

Welcome to the world, baby James

I am so incredibly proud of Aileen and Ryan .

Week by week, Aileen transformed her past birth trauma into strength, confidence, and power – and she went on to have the most beautiful, healing birth of her baby boy.

This is what informed preparation really looks like. This is what reclaiming your birth story feels like.

Welcome James – you are so loved already 🥹👶🏻💕

From terrified to empowered. From overwhelmed to ready.

That’s what hypnobirthing is really about—so this article means a LOT.

I’m incredibly proud to be featured in the Sunday mail newspaper sharing how birth can feel calm, informed and even joyful.

If you’ve ever thought:

💭 “I want a positive birth, but I don’t know where to start.”

💭 “There must be more than just ‘surviving’ labour.”

💭 “I wish someone would explain my options in a clear, honest way.”

…then you’ll love this.
