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 […]

Lori had a spontaneous birth for her first baby, and was hoping for a natural birth at Darent Valley birth centre for baby number two.

Jen and Justin have been my friends for years, so when they announced they were pregnant I knew I wanted to support them for a positive birth.

The Birth of Shelby: Water Birth at Darent Valley
I taught Sarah and Ben hypnobirthing in preparation for their first baby in 2018. They were so much fun to teach, and the lessons were extra special for me as I was also pregnant. Our babies were born a couple of months apart and we have stayed in touch ever since, and had play dates […]
Birth of Evelina Fae – Born Before Arrival
Kerry and Michael attended my group hypnobirthing class in preparation for their third baby. Kerry had previously had two very fast labours, which she hadn’t realised were classed as precipitous births – meaning under three hours.
