Have you heard of having Skin-to-Skin with your baby after birth? 👶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We were chatting about this at my last hypnobirthing course in Kerry in January. Skin-to-skin (also known as kangaroo care) is where a new baby is placed directly onto their mother’s chest immediately after birth. is an excellent resource for all things oxytocin and skin-to-skin
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Partners are encouraged to do skin-to-skin with baby also ~ babies will recognise their voice from womb 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some of the benefits
✨ Encourages healthy brain development for baby
✨ Helps to reduce stress in baby due to oxytocin release
✨ Regulates baby’s temperature (particularly premature babies)
✨ Reduces chances of postpartum depression in mother
✨ Encourages better sleep in baby
✨ Encourages weight gain in baby
✨ Can be of particular benefit for premature babies
✨ Shorter duration third stage of labour (birth of placenta)
✨ Early and more successful initiation of breastfeeding
✨ Promotes meaningful bonding between baby and parent
✨ Baby can feel mother’s heartbeat ~ familiar from womb
✨ Regulates baby’s heart rate and blood pressure
✨ Stabilises baby’s breathing
✨ Regulates baby’s blood sugar levels
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you cannot have Skin-to-Skin directly after birth, you can still do this as soon as you & baby are together again. Skin-to-Skin can continue for the weeks and months after birth! ❤️

✨ 2026 Hypnobirthing Waitlist Now Open ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re expecting a baby in 2026 and want to feel calm, confident, and informed as you prepare for birth, my in-person hypnobirthing courses in Cork and Kerry may be just what you’re looking for 🫶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These courses are designed for parents to be who want practical tools, clear information, and a supportive space to prepare for birth together 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤍 Small, intimate group sizes
🤍 Calm, evidence-based birth preparation
🤍 Partner-inclusive and supportive
🤍 Cork venue coming soon
🤍 Kerry venue in Barraduff, near Killarney
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My courses usually book out months in advance, so the best first step is to join the waitlist ✔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Joining the waitlist means you’ll be the first to hear when 2026 dates are released, before spaces open publicly 🙂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Tap the link in my bio and join the 2026 waitlist

Have you heard of a Winner Flow? 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This handy little device promotes slow, controlled and regulated breathing during labour and birth meaning increased oxygen to your baby and relaxation for you 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Research has shown that the Winner Flow has the potential, as a non-pharmacological approach, to shorten labour duration, improve pain management, and ultimately improve the maternal childbirth experience ⭐️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is the perfect aid to your hypnobirthing tools and practices learnt in my signature hypnobirthing course. Ideally the Winner Flow will be practiced in the last trimester of pregnancy. The feedback I have been receiving is great. I have used it myself for the birth of my third baby and found it excellent, which is why I now make it available here! ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Link to purchase is in my bio - DM me with any questions you might have ✉️

I’m on the lookout for the right Cork venue 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Due to the amazing success of my current venue, , the owner, Val will be expanding the studio's Saturday yoga and Pilates offerings (check out the timetable on their insta page!) so I now need to explore other venue options for my one-day, full hypnobirthing courses.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have absolutely loved working with Val and the team in Soul Yoga & Pilates Cork, and I’m really looking forward to hosting shorter retreats and special events there in the future. Just to reassure anyone booked, my February course is still taking place in Soul Yoga & Pilates Cork.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the things I value most about my hypnobirthing courses is the space. How relaxing, comfortable and calm it feels for expectant parents.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m hoping to find a space that is:
�• Calm, quiet, and welcoming
�• Pregnancy-friendly
• Suitable for small groups of expectant parents
�• Available on Saturdays a few times a year�
• Based in Cork city or nearby, with parking ideally
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you know of a yoga studio, wellness space, community room, hotel meeting space or somewhere that sounds just right, I would really love to hear from you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please comment below, tag a space, or send me a DM. Word of mouth has always been so helpful to my business.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you so much for helping me continue this work in Cork!

I have been a little absent here in the past few weeks but it’s been all go behind the scenes supporting so many amazing families and parents to be - some moments from the past few weeks🤰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Getting to finally catch up with my own amazing pregnancy yoga teacher was a highlight at the conference
2. Hearing from parents after my courses and once they have had their babies makes my day. I just love it! The pictures are so cute - I get to see the baby that was there on the course day tucked away in the belly!
3. So many birthdays celebrated over the past few weeks 🥳 🎉
4. Do you screenshot recipes and never make them too? Or is that just me? 🤣
5. A fun night out with my family at a meet and greet with the OG Irene Robert’s from home and away 😎what a lovely lady
6. Meeting past clients for coffee with their new babies is incredible. I am very thankful ☕️
7. Celebrating so many female founders at the awards night 💃
8. Thank you for the opportunity to speak to a lovely group of mums at the first Mum Talks event in Cork. I had a great time meeting everyone.
9. The last hypnobirthing course for 2025 was held in in November. I’ve loved holding courses in this space and this group was no different 😍
10. A little weekend away before 🎅 arrives next week
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to all of my 2025 families for joining my courses and to all my 2026 families I am looking forward to supporting you in the new year. In my intake forms I ask where have people heard of me; so often the answer is word of mouth, GP, Consultant, Midwife. Thank you to everyone who has recommended me 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My January in person group hypnobirthing course in Kerry is almost sold out and there are just a few spaces left for the February course in Cork. DM if you would like more info.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas and bright new year 🤍 Louise

Are you feeling nervous or worried about birth? ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Would you like to learn more about birth to feel confident and calm for labour? Would you like your partner to know exactly how they can support you in the weeks before birth and during labour? ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Regardless of where you choose to birth or what form your birth takes - medicated such as an epidural, vaginal, caesarean - they can all be positive experiences, the definition of a ‘positive’ birth is up to you! I am a mum of 3 (I used hypnobirthing in all of my births) and have been a Hypnobirthing instructor since 2020 with consistent 5 star google reviews⭐️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Taking one of my convenient one day hypnobirthing courses really helps you and your birth partner to empower yourselves in the birthing process! Hypnobirthing is for all types of birth and the course package includes dedicated personalised 1:1 support right up to your baby’s birth so it is not just a one day course! ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The February group hypnobirthing courses is taking place in the tranquil (in Frankfield, Cork City) and the January group hypnobirthing course is taking place in beautiful (in Barraduff, Co. Kerry 15 minutes from Killarney and 1 hour from Cork). Perfect for your March to May babas. Comment ‘COURSE’ or message me privately for booking link and more information 🥰

I love supporting parents to be on their journey to birth. Yes, you can use the tools of hypnobirthing in hospital, at home before going to hospital, at home if you are having a home birth, during an induction, a caesarean section, an epidural, an unmedicated birth… anywhere, anytime!🤰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to all of my past families for joining my courses and to all my future families I am looking forward to supporting you also 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My November in person group hypnobirthing course in Cork is sold out but I have some space on my in person course in Kerry (near Killarney) in January. If you would like to work with me in 2026, comment ‘Course’ or message me privately and I will DM you more information on my hypnobirthing courses.
