Hello and Welcome to BirthWithin.

If you are passionate about achieving a more positive, relaxed birthing experience then you are in the right place.

I believe Birth Preparation and Hypnobirthing helps reduce fears or anxieties surrounding childbirth. Witnessing first-hand, how transformative and empowering hypnobirthing can be. I know BirthWithin will help you achieve a calmer and more confident birth, not only for you, but for your birthing partner and your baby.

I had the privilege of giving birth to my two daughters at home in a birthing pool with the support of my birthing family. The comfort of my own home, a safe birthing space and the uninterrupted post birth care was so personal and precious.

My knowledge and experience will be shared with you, in a tailored way, that meets your individual needs and goals. You will be guided through techniques that will help you prepare your mind body and baby for birth, calmly and confidently.

When I’m not at work or running my private classes, I’m with my family. I live the usual mother’s life of two teenage girls. We have a Lhasa Apso who loves walks in the Peak District or farmers fields near where we live. Past adventures have lead me down the paths of life as, A passionate children’s and toddler play group leader, Running all distances, the furthest is Man v Coast 26 miles of Cornwall’s coast line. Walking / Running the Peak Pilgrimage and the 3 Peaks in Yorkshire. Water-skiing, Wakeboarding and SUP Boarding has been an annual family favourite. Camping trips in my self renovated very old campervan have given us plenty of memories to hold onto. I will try most things in life.

I am excited to talk to you and walk alongside your new chapter in your life. Call me. I’m waiting for you.

“I cannot recommend hypnobirthing enough, and would 100% recommend Carol to do the job!

She’s incredible and I’m so pleased that she was part of our journey, I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her.”

– Jess, Mum.

“I am a very black and white person as you have guesses after spending quite some time at our house with hypnobirthing sessions.

When my partner first talked about hypnobirthing, to be honest, I was 50/50 but I will always give everything a try. By the time the last session came, i was feeling so much better & confident about when the time came for us to go into hospital. (Obviously, I did it all like was said… hahaha).

Literally, every step of the way i was flicking through mental notes of what we had spoken about during the sessions. Times got panicky for me but I kept my cool and calm with your techniques, words and breathing throughout, which I feel passes over to her during birth.”

– Oli, Dad.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support over the course of my pregnancy.

I found this pregnancy incredibly difficult after everything we have had to face, but your help and guidance made a huge difference.

Helping me through every step, and how you took the time to explain things. You always seemed to know just what I needed to hear at the right time. Which helped me cope hugely with my anxieties and fears. You helped me have such a positive birth experience, it has really meant the world to me. I now feel I can move on from my previous grief and trauma and open a new chapter in my life. Thank you”.
