Welcome and congratulations!

Being here must mean you are preparing to welcome your baby into the world and, in doing so, arrive at the destination of your own journey to becoming a parent and Born New Hypnobirthing is here to help…

My name’s Beth Watton and I am the founder of Born New. I am a certified hypnobirthing teacher and antenatal educator, birth & postnatal Doula and I am passionate about supporting parents and giving them the knowledge and skills they need to approach birth with nothing but excitement, calm, confidence and strength.

Hypnobirthing is not a ‘type’ of birth, but rather a set of tools and deeply embedded knowledge that can be drawn upon in the weeks leading up to and, of course, during the birth of your baby/ies whatever that birth may look like and wherever it may happen. My approach is always evidence based, inclusive and empowering drawing upon my expertise as a birth and postnatal Doula and the incredible teaching from Katharine Graves to provide you with the skills, know-how and mindset to embrace birth as the transformative, safe and positive experience it so truly is.

I am the founder of Born New and am a certified hypnobirthing teacher, Doula and infant massage instructor. I am a mother of two toddlers, Arlo and Murphy, and I am passionate about all things pregnancy, birth and baby!

I first discovered hypnobirthing in 2021, a little bit by accident, when a ‘pregnancy book bundle’ I ordered whilst pregnant with my son included a book all about it. Whilst I had never felt like birth was something to fear, it wasn’t until I learnt all about hypnobirthing that I realised it could be something to look forward to! I went on to have two wildly different births, my first highly medicated including an unexpected induction, epidural and a 2-day labour, my second a completely unmedicated 3-hour labour in a birth pool. I used my hypnobirthing toolkit both times.

What I came to learn and what my classes will show is that hypnobirthing is not a ‘type’ of birth. It is a mindset grounded in evidence based, scientific research that fully prepares a mother or birthing person for a birth that is calm, comfortable, in-control and confident, whatever the location, ‘type’ or duration may be. Whether it’s your first or your tenth baby, hypnobirthing serves as a practical guide to equip you fully for each stage of your labour so you can feel in-control, informed and calm.

My company, Born New, is founded on the principle that birth is a transformative event and in the moment of meeting your new-born, you are born-new too. So just as we want the best birth experience for our babies, so too must we do everything in our power to provide the safest, most uplifting and empowering birth experience for mothers and birthing people and there is no better way to achieve this, than with Born New Hypnobirthing.

I can’t wait to work with you!

Facts & Figures

The research – carried out independently for us in conjunction with The Institute of Mums – surveyed almost 700 women. We looked at women who had studied a full KGH course with Katharine Graves compared to a control group who had not studied hypnobirthing.

Birth experience: When comparing the overall birth experience, 69% of KGH mums rated their birth experience as ‘extremely’ or ‘very’ positive vs. only 44% of non-hypnobirthing mums. 76% of KGH mums reflected on their birth as ‘extremely’ or ‘quite’ calm, compared to 46% of non-hypnobirthing mums. Twice as many KGH mums specifically stated that their child’s birth was ‘extremely calm’. KGH mums also needed lower levels of pain relief.
Caesarean section: Most notable from the results were the differing levels of intrusive medical intervention, with mums who had experienced the KG Hypnobirthing programme almost 50% less likely to require a caesarean section.
Mental health: Focusing on stress, anxiety and mental health, the study highlighted how non-hypnobirthing mums were over 73% more likely to have experienced mental health issues compared to KGH mums.

Hypnobirthing Studies

Reduction in pain: This study found that women who gave birth via hypnobirthing had less birth pain and fear compared to the participants in the control group. All of the women who applied hypnobirthing stated that the hypnobirthing method reduced pain. Read the study here.
Shorter labour & reduced intervention rates: The hypnobirthing group rates of birth intervention were significantly lower and their deliveries period were shorter, than those that of the routine control group. Birth satisfaction was also shown to be higher. Read the study here.
Reduction in anxiety: Pregnant mothers who studied hypnobirthing had anxiety level as
low at a statistically significant lower level than pregnant mothers who did not study hypnobirthing. Read the study here.
KGHypnobirthing hospital results: The statistics show a dramatic increase in a positive outcome for childbirth in the Hospitals that use KG Hypnobirthing as a core method for training both their Midwives and couples birthing at their hospital. Read the results here.

Born New Hypnobirthing provides a full hypnobirthing and antenatal programme covering everything you need to know and do to prepare for a birth that is empowering, unique and memorable for all the right reasons.

The sessions are run from the comfort of your own home and I also offer virtual classes via Zoom.

For in-person sessions, I provide classes across South East London, including (but not limited to) Bromley, Lewisham, Croydon and Lambeth.

The course is made up of approximately 12-hours of teaching time. I am always happy to be as accommodating of schedules as possible and can provide bespoke scheduling e.g. six 2-hour sessions, weekend intensives and much more.
