My name is Edwina and as well as being mum to two gorgeous girls, I’m a KG Hypnobirthing Practitioner; ‘Birthing from Within’ Birth Preparation Mentor; Life Coach and experienced Registered Shiatsu Practitioner, specialising in pregnancy. In a previous life, many moons ago, I was a Chartered Accountant!
As the founder of ‘Birthways’, I’m passionate about helping couples have a positive, empowering birth experience however events may unfold.
My range of qualifications and professional experience allow me to offer you support on many levels (emotionally, mentally and physically) throughout your pregnancy. I will give you the tools to achieve the best birth for you and increase your potential of a calmer, gentler birth.
You’ll learn ways to relax; release any fears and anxieties; build trust and confidence in your body’s ability to birth and feel fully prepared and aware of all your options.
My passion for birth started during a postgraduate course in ‘Shiatsu for Maternity and the Postnatal Period’. This simmering passion ignited after my two amazing home births. Despite some unexpected events along the way, including a hospital visit, throughout my labour I truly felt a deep level of calm and at one with the powerful flow of nature and birth. There’s nothing quite like that magic moment when you realise ‘I did it…We did it!!!’ The recognition that you stepped into the unknown; laboured; did what you instinctively needed to do to get through each moment and were now on the other side with your baby! I strongly feel that my birth preparation significantly contributed to what I can only describe as a life-affirming event.
When I’m not supporting pregnant couples, you may find me at yoga, cycling, playing tennis and being a ‘mummy taxi’ to my 13 and 10 year old daughters… amongst other things!
It’s such a privilege and joy to mentor mothers and their birth partners as they journey towards the birth of their baby and themselves as parents. I love my role as a KG Hypnobirthing Practitioner and Birth Preparation Mentor and look forward to meeting and working with many more families for years to come.
“I don’t know what you said but my whole perspective on the pregnancy and forthcoming labour just changed for the better. Thank you!” – Tat
“Edwina’s approach has been upfront, honest, affable, kind and most importantly non-judgmental. She’s so approachable in fact that it’s easy to be entirely honest with her- in ways perhaps that one might not be with one’s family and closest friends. She has coached me gently to think about labour differently, to face my worst fears and prepare me to tackle them head on…” -Tracey
“I’m now much clearer about the practical things I can do to help my wife which will hopefully make a real difference.” – Joe
I offer both group and one to one KG Hypnobirthing classes.

They are a great opportunity to meet other couples in the local area.

Our Private one to one sessions can be held in the comfort of your own home or mine, at a mutually convenient time.

WHEN CAN I START HYPNOBIRTHING?
You can register for hypnobirthing at any time in your pregnancy. I recommend that couples attend the course anytime from 20 weeks. Most couples tend to start between 24-32 weeks, but it’s never too early or late in pregnancy to learn and practice hypnobirthing techniques.
