Jana and Darren : Hypnobirthing for a Free Birth

Hektor hypnobirthing for a free birth

Jana and Derren were already 38 weeks pregnant when they got in touch with me. They were limited on time, because of being so far into pregnancy, but also because they have a toddler and no family close by. We decided to split the course into two sessions. One evening with just me and Jana. […]

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.

My first birth was a very straight forward birth at Darent Valley birth centre in Dartford. I had a three hour labour and then a water birth soon after I arrived at the birth centre.
