✨Are you expecting a baby soon? Discover a calmer, more confident birth experience with Mellow Births Hypnobirthing ✨

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Ashleigh, a local hypnobirthing teacher based in Shepton Mallet.

Through my business, Mellow Births Hypnobirthing, I support expectant parents to feel relaxed, informed, and empowered as they prepare for birth.

Hypnobirthing isn’t “hippy” or mysterious — it’s a practical and evidence-based approach that combines relaxation, breathing techniques and a deeper understanding of how your body works during labour. Many families find it helps them feel calmer and more in control, whatever type of birth they have. 🩵

I offer 1:1 hypnobirthing courses in my cosy cabin here in Shepton Mallet — a peaceful space surrounded by nature... perfect for taking some time out to prepare for your baby’s arrival.

I am currently booked for the remainder of the year but if you are due from February 2026 onwards and would like to find out more feel free to message me or visit Mellow Births Hypnobirthing on Facebook/Instagram.

A little post about The Newborn Microbiome 🦠

The microbiome is the collection of beneficial bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in and on our bodies. It plays a key role in the baby’s immune system, digestion, and long-term health.

🤰 Before Birth

The baby’s gut is almost sterile in the womb — the microbiome starts developing during and after birth.

The mother’s own microbiome changes in pregnancy, preparing to “seed” the baby with healthy bacteria.

A balanced, diverse microbiome in pregnancy supports maternal mental health, digestion, and immunity.

🌸 During Vaginal Birth

When a baby passes through the birth canal, they are coated in their mother’s vaginal and gut bacteria, which forms the foundation of their microbiome.

These beneficial microbes help “train” the baby’s immune system to recognise friendly bacteria from harmful ones.

Skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth continues to populate the baby’s skin with healthy bacteria from the parent.

🍼 After Birth

Breast milk contains not just nutrients but also living bacteria and special sugars (HMOs) that feed the baby’s good gut bacteria.

Ongoing skin-to-skin contact and closeness help the baby develop a diverse microbiome through gentle exposure to the parent’s microbes.

Babies born by caesarean or fed formula can still develop healthy microbiomes — through breastfeeding where possible, skin-to-skin, and mindful exposure to the natural environment.

🌍 Long-Term Benefits

A healthy microbiome is linked to lower risks of allergies, asthma, obesity, and autoimmune conditions later in life.

Early microbiome health also supports emotional and brain development — there’s even a “gut-brain connection” influencing mood and resilience.

🦠Understanding the microbiome can help parents make informed decisions about birth, skin-to-skin, feeding and antibiotic use.

Whether birth is vaginal or by caesarean, parents can take gentle, natural steps to nurture their baby’s microbiome and start life with balance and calm.

This is something we cover in the Mellow Births Hypnobirthing course. Send me a DM for more information on booking 🩵

Massage Music and Movement Classes at
Dinder Village Hall, Wells - Mondays at 9.30am

Due to a few mummies having to start back to work 😢 I will have a couple of spaces in my 9.30am Monday morning, Massage Music and movement classes at Dinder Village Hall, Wells from next term starting 3rd November and running until 15th December.

This class is block bookings only and is suitable for babies aged between 4-6months up to 2.5 years old. It is a fun mix of dry clothed massage, action songs and rhymes, baby yoga, parachute fun, bubbles and treasure baskets. Musical instruments usually make an appearance to help us with some songs too. A lovely class which you can continue to attend until baby reaches the cut off age.
Blocks usually run in sync with the school terms so each term can be different in length/weeks. If you’d like to snap up a space, please drop me a PM.
I look forward to hearing from you 🥰

✨ Calm mind, Confident birth ✨

Your thoughts shape your birth experience.
When you fill your mind with calm and confidence, your body follows..

Take a moment today to place a hand on your bump and remind yourself:

“My body knows exactly what to do.”

“Each breath brings me closer to my baby.”

You already have everything you need within you 💪🏻

Repeat these positive affirmations during the third trimester and even during your birth.
A pack of birth affirmation cards are included in your course pack so you can pop them up around your home (like on the mirror, by the kettle, next to your bed) to be constantly reminded how incredible your body is and the strength you have within.
You can also pack some in your hospital bag so your birthing partner can read some out when the time comes 🩵

Are you afraid of giving birth?

📢 Did you know birth doesn’t have to be scary? 📢 (shout it louder for those at the back 👀)

Most of us grow up hearing stories that make birth sound overwhelming, painful, or even frightening. It’s no wonder that when pregnancy arrives, fear often comes with it.. we are conditioned and brought up to think this way

But here’s the truth: birth CAN be calm, it CAN be empowering and it CAN even be beautiful. When you understand how your body works, when you feel supported and when you learn simple tools and techniques to relax and trust the process, fear starts to melt away.

Through hypnobirthing, you can prepare your mind and body for a more positive birth experience... one where you feel in control, informed and ready to welcome your baby with confidence.

💪🏻 Birth doesn’t have to be scary.
💪🏻 Birth can be something you look forward to.
💪🏻 Birth can be deeply powerful.

If you’d like to find out how hypnobirthing can help you feel calmer, in control and more confident, I’d love to support you.

A birthing comb (sometimes called a labour comb) is a simple but surprisingly effective tool used during labour. How does a comb work? It works on the principle of acupressure and gate control pain theory…the idea that sensory input (like using it to create pressure in your hand) can “distract” the nervous system and help reduce the perception of pain. I used a birthing comb myself in my second labour and I really felt it was beneficial.

Some of the benefits of using a comb:

Physical Benefits:

Pain relief through acupressure – Pressing the comb into the palm can stimulate pressure points connected to pain pathways, helping with surges.

Distraction from contractions – The sensation in the hand gives the brain something else to focus on.

Portable and easy to use – Unlike large tools or medical equipment, it’s small, lightweight, fits in your pocket or hospital bag and works anywhere.

Non-invasive and drug-free – Provides comfort without medication or side effects.

Encourages upright, mobile birth – Since it’s handheld, you can still move around freely.

Emotional & Psychological Benefits:

Sense of control – Having a physical tool to grip during surges can make you feel more empowered.

Grounding and calming – The repetitive act of squeezing can help regulate breathing and keep you focused.

Supports hypnobirthing techniques – It pairs well with affirmations, breathing, and visualization as another coping method.

Practical Benefits:

Affordable – A very low-cost birth aid compared to other tools. You can buy it on many accessible website for under £5.

Reusable – Can be kept as a keepsake after birth or used again for subsequent births.

Compact – Easy to pack in a hospital bag or keep at home for a planned birth.

Many parents say they’re surprised how effective such a simple object can be—it’s not magic, but it helps your body’s natural pain management systems and I certainly found it beneficial in my labour
