Birth of Sydney: Water Birth at Darent Valley Birth Centre
This is my own personal experience of pregnancy, hypnobirthing and my positive birth story. It was important to me to keep my fitness levels up throughout pregnancy, as preparation for birth. I viewed it as a great way to prepare for the physical side of labour. I continued going to the gym twice a week […]
Turning a breech baby at 42 weeks
This is a wonderful birth story from Sarah and Jon. They opted for the four week private hypnobirthing course with me, and it was a real pleasure to teach them.

Birth of Theodore: Un-Planned Home Birth
Mia and Joe were part of my group hypnobirthing class in Medway. Their birth story is amazing! Usually when we think of birth not going to plan, we think of a natural birth becoming medicated. Mia’s labour was so fast and natural she ended up having an un-planned home birth! Luckily, everything she had learnt […]
C-Section at Darent Valley Hospital
Most people come to my classes because they want a birth that is as natural as possible. Although hypnobirthing makes a natural birth much more likely, it can not be guaranteed. One of the most important parts of my job as a hypnobirthing instructor is to prepare my couples for all types of birth, and […]
The Birth of Noah – Hypnobirthing at Queen Mary’s Hospital
I taught Emma and Mohammed hypnobirthing as a private course in their home. As a first time Mum, Emma did not know what to expect from birth. However, as is common, she had heard a lot of horror stories. Her birth story is lovely, and shows that birth can be very fast, even for a […]
