Sarah and Aaron booked me for a hypnobirthing course in Medway. They are actually the first couple I taught hypnobirthing to, as I had convinced Sarah, my cousin, to let me practice on her.

Birth of Theodore: Un-Planned Home Birth

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.

She had planned for a natural, water birth but after going into labour prematurely things had to become very medicalised.

This birth story is from Erika and Nathan, who did an online hypnobirthing course with me due to Covid and them not living local to me. Erika had a really hard pregnancy and birth, but still had a really positive experience. I love this birth story, because even though it didn’t go to plan Erika […]
