Hypnobirthing and Antenatal Expert
Founder of Your Birth Story
I trained in Hypnobirthing and antenatal education through Antenatal Training UK, the leading trainer to NHS maternity services, and the only City and Guild accredited course available in the UK after I personally had 2 amazingly powerful and transformative birth experiences. I knew I was the right person to support other pregnant families embrace the power of birth and beyond
Mum of 2 and wife
The 2 things I am most grateful for
I fell in love at first sight with my husband 17 years ago. We have 2 beautiful children named after the Ocean, both of which were born using Hypnobirthing techniques, so I really do speak from personal experience. I do what I do for them. My husbands involvement in both births is what drives me to make sure that birth partners are really involved, as Hannah and Marcus said "Unlike NCT, the emphasis was placed on Marcus as a birthing partner and she really made sure that he knew all the techniques so that I didn’t have to worry about remembering in the moment".
I Love to travel
And having a family has not stopped me
I met my husband whilst working in Greece and we have not stopped exploring since.
I was always determined that starting a family would not stop us being adventurous. and sure, we've now succumbed to the delights of a package holiday but we still use our campervan to travel across the UK and Europe looking for the next best surf, kayak, hike or kayak spot.
I used to hate the idea of birth
And now it's all I think about....
If you had met me pre 2019 you would have never believed I would be a birth worker, or even have a baby.
I truly hated the idea of birth and gave absolutely no attention to my friends who birthed before me. (sorry about that!)
But since being pregnant with my first and accidently stumbling across this wacky thing poorly titled Hypnobirthing, it changed my world and my mission to rewrite the narrative of birth for as many people as I can reach.
