I loved supporting this couple and watching their transformation to parenthood ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I work with a majority of first-time parents ensuring that they feel supported, prepared, and truly empowered for birth 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also work with a lot of second (and even third) time parents who know they want to have a different experience to their first birth 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been teaching Hypnobirthing in Cork and online since 2020 and have used it myself since 2016, three times, in the births of all of my children 🧒
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have now expanded my business to provide Hypnobirthing courses in Barraduff, Co. Kerry (15 minutes from Killarney, 45 minutes from Tralee and 1 hour from Cork) 🫶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ There is still some space available for the March 21st one day in person hypnobirthing course in Glanmire, Cork
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ April 25th in Cork is almost fully booked
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ There are a couple of spaces left for my only group course before the summer in Kerry on 23rd May, in Barraduff
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re planning to welcome your baby in 2026 and want to feel calm, confident, and fully supported - this is your course ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Intimate. Inclusive. Evidence-based and experience-led. These courses are more than just classes - they’re the beginning of something really special as my client feedback and testimonials show 🫶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want in? Message me “Course” or DM me and I’ll send you all the details for the only courses before the Autumn 🤩

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! ❤️

Many people picture labour happening on a bed 🛏️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In reality, your body is cleverly designed to move in labour 🏃‍♂️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Labour Hopscotch was developed by Irish midwife Sinead Thompson as a simple visual guide that encourages movement, upright positions and comfort techniques during labour 🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can be used whether you labour at home or in hospital, and it is supported in Cork University Maternity Hospital here in Cork as well as many other Irish maternity hospitals 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Changing positions, staying upright and using comfort techniques can help baby find their way down easier and can make contractions easier to cope with (win win!) 💪🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We practise various comfort techniques and cover many more topics at my hypnobirthing courses in Cork and Kerry, so you and your birth partner feel confident, prepared and supported when labour begins ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this for later and share with your birth partner - You will find labour hopscotch at https://labourhopscotch.netlify.app 👀

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⭐️
