How are you feeling?! Excited?
Imagining who they'll look like... thinking about colour schemes for the nursery... starting to buy the tiniest of tiny little vests...
But there's this black cloud lingering isn't there - the birth. You're going to have to give birth to this baby and you really don't want to think about it. Because you've heard so many awful stories and it just sounds SO painful! And then there's the unpredictability... the lack of control. As everyone keeps reminding you - 'You can't control birth! You've got to go with the flow!'
And that's causing you such anxiety. Having no control over the process, not knowing how you'll hope - and not knowing whether your birth partner will be able to make you feel any better.
But then someone mentioned hypnobirthing... this weird sounding thing that people swear by. 'Oh you MUST look up hypnobirthing!' A calmer, more comfortable birth...? Sounds too good to be true, right?!
Well its not! I'm Rachel and I discovered hypnobirthing after the birth of my first baby. Pregnant with my second baby, I knew I wanted to feel calmer this time around, I wanted to be more in control of my birth - I wanted an all-round more positive experience. And I got it!! I would honestly love to experience that birth all over again.
And you can feel the same! My hypnobirthing and antenatal course is practical, its logical and its all about the science! I have zero interest in getting you to chant like a hippy... I just want you to have a calmer, more confident birth. And for you to feel excited about giving birth to your baby! I'm so happy you found me. Please have a look through my client testimonials and book in for a free call if you have any questions about how I can help you.
I am currently teaching private courses face to face in the Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells & Sevenoaks area, however all courses are also available over zoom, so you don't need to be local to prepare for your birth with me.
'Rachel, we honestly cannot say how helpful this course has been and how much we would recommend you!'

'I honestly don't know where to start...you transformed us from naiive, overwhelmed, first time parents to confident, positive parents who are prepared, informed and excited about the birth of our baby.'
— L & L
There will be no Derren Brown style hypnotising... no hippy chanting...no mumbo-jumbo... and certainly no rules on how or where you can give birth.
My course will give you a detailed understanding of how to support your body during labour and birth - giving you a shorter, easier, more comfortable labour!
It will help change your mindset towards birth so that you can ditch the fear and start to get excited - leaving you to enjoy your pregnancy more!
It will equip you with tools and techniques to make your birth experience calmer and more positive - however you give birth.
It will give you the information and the confidence to choose the best birth for you (helping you to feel more in control!)
And it'll give you a birth partner who is calm, prepared and worth their weight in gold!
... All leading to your best possible start to parenthood - for you, your partner and your baby.
