Hypnobirthing in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire & Cotswolds
Calm, confidence-building antenatal courses for every kind of birth
Why Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing isn’t about having a “perfect” birth — it’s about feeling informed, grounded, supported and confident, however your birth unfolds.
My Hypnobirthing courses help you:
• Understand how your body works in labour
• Reduce fear and overwhelm
• Learn practical comfort techniques
• Feel safer, calmer and more in control
• Strengthen partner support
• Prepare for every type of birth: hospital, home, induction or caesarean
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a gentle, evidence-informed way to prepare for birth. It’s not woo-woo or wacky like some may think. You’ll learn breathing tools, relaxation techniques, confidence-building education, and practical skills for navigating your birth calmly — whatever form it takes.
It’s not about being ‘zen’. It’s about feeling informed, supported and ready so you feel confident and excited to give birth.

A Calm, Gentle, Judgement-Free Approach
As a doula, my Hypnobirthing teaching blends emotional support, birth experience and a deep understanding of the local maternity services.
Families describe my approach as:
Calm and grounding
Reassuring and nurturing
Clear, practical and supportive
Gentle, non-judgemental
My aim is not to teach a method - but to help you feel deeply supported and informed so you can feel confident for birth.
-
Unlike some well known antenatal courses, I don’t fluff over birth and brush over topics. I ensure you are fully aware of how to navigate the maternity system, know your rights and choices and give you the tools to make decisions about your birth so you remain in control. As well as many techniques to use to stay calm throughout pregnancy and birth.
-
Birth partners are strongly encouraged to attend. They will learn how to best support and advocate for you when they are needed most. Many birth partners leave feeling impressed and happy they attended, realising it’s not all just breathing techniques but actually a lot of common sense, facts and real life support.
