Hi there

I'm Sarah, and I teach hypnobirthing because it changed my own birth

I became aware of hypnobirthing 13 years ago whilst pregnant with my first child. I wanted to know everything there was to know about childbirth, and felt the standard hospital antenatal class wouldn't cut it.

We were about to take an NCT class when I discovered hypnobirthing was an option, and I instantly loved the ethos behind it. I came away feeling so much more prepared for birth, with relaxation techniques I still use to this day.

I qualified in 2020 with The Calm Birth School, and enjoy nothing better than sharing what hypnobirthing can bring to a couple.

The midwife lifted her up onto my chest and with her cry I just felt relief and remember saying to Chris 'I did it she's here!'
