Qualified teacher trainer for KG Hypnobirt Fear leads to tension, and tension leads to pain.

Hypnobirthing gives you the knowledge and confidence to have the natural birth you want. We are bombarded with negative images and stories of birth and labour, which leads many of us to fear the experience. Nature has designed the human body to give birth naturally and comfortably. If you remove fear then you remove tension and, in turn, pain. Hypnobirthing, as the name suggests, uses hypnotherapy and self hypnosis to eliminate fear. It teaches deep relaxation techniques which help prepare the body for birthing. It builds confidence in one's own abilities to birth naturally and comfortably.

Creating your own story (before birth begins)

By now you know how powerful birth stories are — but here’s something many people forget:

You’re already creating your birth story, long before labour begins.

Every empowering birth you watch, every calm account you listen to, every positive example your subconscious absorbs… it all shapes the internal landscape you’ll draw from on the day your baby arrives.

Think of positive stories not as scripts, but as a catalogue of possibilities:

✨ “I didn’t think I could… but I did.”
✨ “I stayed calm even when things changed.”
✨ “I made the decisions. I chose the path.”
✨ “I felt powerful, no matter how my baby was born.”

Your story will be its own masterpiece — and you deserve to walk into it feeling supported, informed, and deeply connected to your inner strength.

If you’d like guidance, birth preparation, or a hand to hold as you shape that story, I’m here!

It makes sense that what we eat can have an impact on our health and wellbeing, and that of our baby too. But did you know that the stories that we expose ourselves to has an impact too?

Everything that we experience is stored in our subconscious mind. We are learning more and more about the neuroscience behind this, but the stories we hear and see can have a large affect on our birth. Negative stories can trigger the release of adrenaline, which can slow or stop labour. Positive stories can help us create a realistic template of how labour can unfold in a straightforward, empowering way.

Where our mind leads, our body follows.

We see this a lot in sports. The body is working hard, but if our mind is set on a goal, it is the mental imagery, positive repetition of statements and mental preparation that helps us to go that extra mile and achieve our goal.

So, what are you surrounding yourself with during your pregnancy? What strategies have you got in place to protect your subconscious from other peoples stories? Want some help with that?

Did you know that doing my course helps partners to prepare for birth too?

Dads and birthing partners play a crucial role in the birth. . . from supporting with breathing, to helping create an environment that releases the hormones needed for a straight forward birth.

Partners who do my course feel confident in supporting their loved one, empowered to advocate for mum/birthing person's needs and knowledgeable about the maternity systems and how to get the best from it.

But don't take my word for it. . . .see what other dads and partners have to say!

Let’s talk about something many expectant parents quietly wonder:

“If I focus on positive birth stories, am I setting myself up for disappointment?”

Absolutely not.

Positive birth stories aren’t about pretending everything goes perfectly. They’re about balance — a counterweight to the fear-based narratives we’re saturated with.

Our maternity system often reduces birth to measurements, timelines, and protocols.

But birth is not a linear checklist to tick off.

It is fluid, unique, and deeply personal.

When we only hear frightening stories, our subconscious becomes conditioned to expect danger. Those stories can pop up in labour, creating adrenaline spikes at exactly the moment we need calm.

Positive stories show something different:

✨ Birth can unfold with strength and serenity
✨ Medical birth can be empowering when you make the decisions
✨ Power comes from ownership, not perfection
✨ You can feel proud of your birth, no matter the path

This isn’t about unrealistic expectations — it’s about expanding what feels possible.

Do you prefer hearing positive birth stories, or seeing birth videos?

A beautiful birth story and reflection to get us started for Birth Stories Month

"Nancy, I just had to let you know about my birth!

After a very stressful and unexpectedly painful experience first time around, which was a planned homebirth-turned hospital birth with a 3-day labour, I was almost resigned to the same scenario with baby number 2.

Until I met you and discovered more about the physical process of birth and how this process, first of the uterus muscles contracting, and then the passage of the baby through the birth canal, is actually enabling the baby to be born (rather than being some terrible affliction or punishment). Ante-natal classes skirted around this issue without much detailed explanation.

Thanks to hypnobirthing I can honestly say that nobody believed I was in labour with my second baby, perhaps not even me!

Surges came and went throughout the day and I felt them as a positive and exciting sensation, as I envisaged my baby being ever closer to being born. There was no pain as I had a long walk in the morning, lunch in a café, dropped my daughter off at her grandparents to stay the night and did a supermarket shop in the way home.

I will say once or twice towards 6 or 7pm I had to stop in my tracks, but it felt really good to be active and moving about, so when I got home I did an hour of yoga whilst my husband made dinner, all the time envisaging my baby and the process she was going through to arrive safely into my arms.

I had a big, healthy dinner at about 8pm, then decided to try to have a little walk up the road, leaning on my husband.

My daughter was born at home at about 10pm, just a few minutes after the midwife arrived. The three of us were snuggled up in our own bed before midnight.

There was no pain. Sensation, of course. I FELT it alright, but I was truly able to embrace each sensation, surge and push as a positive, pain-free, beautiful and happy experience and I put this down to getting educated, practice and feeling positive about the birth process as a result of my sessions with you and spending a lot of time during my pregnancy lying in the bath whilst listening to the Hypnobirthing scripts.

The day that my daughter was born will always be remembered as one of the happiest in my life because the whole journey to her arrival was truly magical.

Incidentally, I feel very sad that I can't talk about this experience out loud without being judged for being too 'preachy'. I've been scolded by friends for making others feel bad about their own experiences. I’ve had expectant friends tell me that they know its going to be terrible so why bother trying to sugar the pill? Might as well just expect the worst and you won't be disappointed. I've had another friend tell me that there are no prizes for being in pain, as though they think that choosing a drug free birth is somehow a martyrdom.

It isn't, it can be AMAZING!

But I've learnt to keep quiet, which is sad, because if more people - both men and women- could learn what I have learnt, I feel sure that more women would experience a beautiful, empowered labour and birth.

People are so terrified of birth, even some midwives and doctors seem to view it as something alarming and terrible. Whilst I agree there are huge benefits to medical advancements for birthing women at high risk, for most women they really could embrace this life-changing and wonderful event for the incredible journey it is.

Much love Nancy, thank you!"

The stories we hear shape the births we have.

Every December I flood my socials with birth videos and stories — and there’s a reason for that.

I discovered hypnobirthing completely by accident when watching someone else’s birth video. I was up a ladder, painting a room when a short mini documentary told the story of a mum, who'd had a terrible birth first time, was trying something new for her second birth. I wasn't really paying attention until it came to her actual birth. . . . she was doing some strange breathing, and then *POP*, a baby appeared!!

It changed everything for me.

We humans are storytelling creatures. Long before we had books, we passed wisdom from one generation to the next through stories. When we listen to a story, our brain activity actually synchronises with the storyteller’s! That’s how deeply wired we are for narrative.

So when it comes to birth, the stories we hear truly matter.

Most of the birth stories we’re exposed to in our culture are dramatic, frightening, or traumatic. Not because that’s what birth inherently is, but because positive stories are often dismissed, minimised, or even silenced.

The result?

We absorb the belief that birth is something to endure, not something we can excel at. . . .be empowered by. . . and enjoy!

Over the next few weeks, I’ll share more about how positive, empowering stories can reshape your expectations and create a sense of calm confidence around your own baby’s birth.

For now, I invite you to reflect:

What birth stories have shaped your beliefs so far?
