If you feel faint or woozy during a scan – you’re not being “difficult”. It’s usually just your blood flow. Lying flat on your back in later pregnancy can squash a major vein, making you lightheaded.

💡 Tip: let the sonographer know and *change position* – tilt to your side, prop a pillow, or adjust your legs. Comfort + safety first.

I’m Cathie, The Hypno Doula ✨ I help mums-to-be and their partners feel calm, confident and supported through pregnancy, birth and beyond – whether you’re planning a natural birth or a gentle C-section.

❄️ Winter Bonding with Bump Workshop

A warm, nurturing afternoon to rest, reflect, and connect with your baby.

As winter invites the world to slow down, this cosy seasonal workshop gives you the chance to pause, breathe, and tune into the incredible journey your body and baby are taking together. It’s an afternoon designed for calm connection, mindful creativity, and deep rest — helping you feel grounded, centred, and glowing from the inside out.

✨ What’s Included
👣 Grounding Circle
Begin with a gentle group grounding and connection ritual — hands on bump, slow breathing, and shared intention-setting to mark this season of stillness and growth.

🎨 Salt Dough Keepsakes
A mindful, hands-on activity where you’ll create a small keepsake symbolising your strength and love. As you knead, shape, and press your affirmations or initials into the dough, you’re anchoring your intentions for birth and motherhood.

💆‍♀️ Soothing Self-Care Ritual
Melt tension with a guided hand or bump massage using warming oils. You can also explore gentle bump mapping — connecting with your baby’s position and movements in a calm, nurturing way.

🌬 Snowflake Breathing
Learn a beautiful, calming breath technique — visualising each exhale as a falling snowflake, melting away tension and creating inner stillness. It’s simple, soothing, and something you can use anytime during pregnancy or labour.

🫖 Tea Ceremony
A mindful moment with warm, spiced tea — noticing the scent, the warmth in your hands, the sense of grounding it brings. A chance to pause and share quiet conversation or reflection with others.

🕯 Guided Hypnosis: Snowlight Sanctuary
Finish by snuggling under blankets with a warm flannel over your eyes as you drift into a beautiful guided visualisation — a deep, peaceful hypnosis designed to help you feel cocooned in calm and deeply bonded with your baby.

You’ll leave feeling nourished, calm, and beautifully connected — to yourself, your baby, and the quiet power of this winter season.

Perfect for any stage of pregnancy.
No experience needed — just bring yourself, your bump, and something cosy to wrap up in

✨ Here’s the truth: You innately know how to birth.
Your body isn’t guessing — it’s following millions of years of finely tuned instinct.

When you feel safe, supported, and undisturbed, your body releases the exact hormones, positions, and rhythms it needs to bring your baby earthside. 🌍💫

The problem? Modern birth often teaches us to doubt that instinct — to hand over trust instead of tuning in. But deep down, you already know what to do.

Don’t wait till week 36 to start prepping for birth – by then you’re tired, over it, and more interested in bingeing Netflix than practising breathing techniques. Start earlier, give yourself time to learn, and actually enjoy feeling prepared.

Think of it like revising for an exam – you wouldn’t leave it to the night before (well… not if you wanted a good grade). Birth prep works the same.

🌿 Did you know?
Just before your baby is born, there’s often a natural pause — midwives call it the “rest and be thankful” phase.

It’s your body’s built-in breather. Oxytocin levels are high, adrenaline dips, and you (and baby!) get a quiet moment to gather strength before the final push.

It’s not stalling — it’s smart biology. So if things slow right down at the end, that’s your body saying, “Hang on, let’s do this gently.” 💚

If moments like that make you doubt yourself or panic, comment ‘fear6’ below and I’ll send you my free guide:
6 Common Birth Fears (and How to Outsmart Them) — because knowledge is power (and calm is magic). ✨

Birth doesn’t follow a timetable – and that’s *not* a failure. ⏳ Every labour is unique, and your body (and baby) will take the time they need. Trust the process, not the clock.

I’m Cathie, The Hypno Doula ✨ I work with parents both in person and virtually. As a virtual doula, I’m here to guide you through birth prep, positions, mindset tools, and reassurance – all from wherever you are. Feeling anxious? I can help you feel supported and in control, even if you’re miles from your birthing team.

🤰 **Fun fact:** Babies aren’t just passive passengers!
They *twist, tuck, rotate,* and even give a little *kick off the top of the womb* to help their descent. 🌀

Your baby is an active teammate in birth — not something you have to “get out,” but someone working *with* you. The more relaxed and confident you feel, the easier it is for your body and baby to find their rhythm together.

If fear or tension is getting in the way, I’ve got a free guide to help:
