About Sarah
I'm Sarah, a Midwife and qualified Calm Birth School Hypnobirthing Instructor serving families in Bridport, West Dorset and the surrounding areas.
I became aware of hypnobirthing 17 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.
Now I teach Hypnobirthing alongside my clinical work...and I love it!
I qualified in 2020 with The Calm Birth School, and enjoy nothing better than sharing the knowledge hypnobirthing can bring with couples.
My goals for you when teaching are:
- To advocate for yourself, or for your birth partner.
- To use the tools you have learnt to have a calmer, more relaxed birth.
- To feel more connected to your body and your baby.
- To have more confidence in your body.
- To be able to cope with whatever your labour may throw at you.
Join one of my classes to find out more about how hypnobirthing can help you have a more empowered birth, and that it is more than just 'breathing'.
