“Ah sure my partner wouldn’t be into that…” ❌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hear this all the time - they think it will be some “hippie thing” 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And honestly, most birth partners don’t walk into the course feeling excited or confident 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
�They’re often unsure what to expect… a bit hesitant… sometimes just coming along because you asked them to 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here’s what I see, again and again, during the day, something changes…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They start to understand what’s actually happening in labour ✔️�
They realise how important their role is ✔️�
They learn simple, practical ways to support you that genuinely make a difference ✔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And by the end of the day they’re not just “coming along” anymore 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
�They’re involved, confident, know how to help 💯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀�
And they’re really looking forward to meeting their baby 💗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because a supportive birth partner isn’t just a “nice to have”, it can completely change how you experience your birth. That's why I love this quote from 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re wondering whether your partner would be into it… you might be very surprised 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next hypnobirthing courses are taking place on 25th April (Glanmire), 23rd May (near Killarney), and 20th June (Glanmire). DM me with any questions or comment ‘COURSE’ and I will send you more info 🤩

Three families text me this week to say their babies have arrived 💗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m sending each family a huge congratulations today, on World Hypnobirthing Day! I’m also teaching a hypnobirthing course today in Cork 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been teaching hypnobirthing since 2020 and over the years I’ve worked with so many families as they prepare for birth 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That moment, hearing that a baby has arrived safely and that you are now parents, never loses its joy for me. It feels very special and incredibly fulfilling to know I’ve been a small part of that journey with you 🫶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hypnobirthing is not about having a perfect or pain-free birth ❌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s about understanding your body, your options and how to stay calm and focused as labour unfolds ✔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s about feeling more confident, more informed and more supported, whatever direction your birth takes 🫶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know the benefits of hypnobirthing not just from teaching it, but from using it myself 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started out as a very anxious first-time mum-to-be. Hypnobirthing gave me a sense of calm and confidence that completely changed how I approached birth 💯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s something I used through all three of my own pregnancies and births. It is something I would love you to have knowledge of for your own birth. Your birth is unique. When parents feel prepared and supported, it’s magic 😍

I loved supporting this couple and watching their transformation to parenthood ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Reframing is one of the most powerful tools you can learn during pregnancy 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It doesn’t ignore fear. It gently changes how you view what is happening ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of: “I’m terrified of contractions.”
Try: “Each surge is helping my baby move closer to my arms.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of: “I don’t know if I can cope.”
Try: “My body was designed for birth and I have tools to support me.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of: “This pain is too much.”
Try: “This sensation has purpose. I am safe. I am supported.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reframing shifts the nervous system from fear into calm and when the body feels safe, it works more efficiently 💪🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This isn’t about pretending birth is easy. It’s about giving your mind thoughts and words which support your body to feel more comfortable and safe ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Start practising today - Notice your thoughts. Don’t give yourself a hard time but listen to what they are and see whether you can gently reshape them 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀�
Choose words that feel steady, calm and supportive. Because the way you speak to yourself in pregnancy often becomes the voice you carry into labour and you deserve that voice to feel safe, strong, confident and grounded. This is a tool that will last you a lifetime ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re preparing for birth and want to learn practical tools like this, my in-person hypnobirthing courses in Cork and Kerry guide you along the way. Message me privately, visit the link in my bio or comment ‘Course’ to get more info and booking links to my courses 🫶🏻

Did you know that your brain is rewired in pregnancy?🤰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These changes in the brain help prepare you for parenthood! 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I highly recommend listening to a great Spotify podcast episode called ‘What happens to the brain during pregnancy and beyond’ from neuroscientist & doula Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum and Tracy Cassels, PhD on Evolutionary Parenting The Podcast 👶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These experts discuss the development of caregivers and babies brains during pregnancy and the early months of parenthood and the impact of our caregiving style on the infant’s brain and future development🤰

Would you like an epidural in labour? 👶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the biggest MYTHS I hear is that hypnobirthing is only for those who want a completely medication free birth and so it won’t work for anyone who wants an epidural ❌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust me when I say you can absolutely use hypnobirthing and an epidural together! ❤️
