Location

I have been involved in the birth world for 20 years, as a doula, antenatal teacher, hypnobirthing teacher, baby massage instructor and placenta encapsulator. I love being around pregnant women and new mums and babies, and enjoy helping them to feel confident and empowered in their choices around birth and mothering.

I am a mum of 3 myself, and I love pottering about the garden with my chickens, and going out jive dancing.

“I decided to do the hypnobirthing course for my own benefit, as a first time mum, but also for my husband as a first time dad. We both enjoyed attending the weekly classes as it was something we could do together and also meet other couples and make new friends. By the end of the course we both felt more confident, relaxed and informed about birthing our little boy” Loren W, first baby born November 2023

“Thank you for such a brilliant hypnobirthing course. Your hypobirthing course completely transformed my mindset about pregnancy and labour. As a natural worrier, planner, over-thinker and control freak, hypnobirthing helped me feel in control of my pregnancy and empowered about the birth of my baby. Barny couldn’t believe how relaxed I was throughout the whole pregnancy- something he had never witnessed from me before!!” Annabel B, first baby born May 2023

“I just wanted to say thank you for the hypnobirthing course.  It has been the best investment we have made as a couple in this process.  You’ve made it accessible, easy to understand, flexible to the needs of the group and we always felt so welcome and heard.  We’re looking forward to implementing everything we have learned and are going in to the birth in a really positive and empowered mindset, which is a big shift from where we were. So thank you again, you’re doing really important work” Tracy J, first baby due December 2021

“Just wanted to say a huge thank for this incredible course. It’s been so insightful and really enjoyable. Michael has also loved being a part of it all and learning about his role (and how important it is). As you know I loved the idea of a home birth but Michael was really worried about what could go wrong and the fact we wouldn’t be at the hospital but from taking your course he’s agreed that a home birth would be perfect for us!! I am really not worried or panicked about the birth/labour as I feel I have the power of knowledge and what to expect… I am actually really excited. Thanks again for everything. You really did do a great job!!!!!” Natasha C, first time mum to baby born October 2020.

”I will be recommending the Birth Baby Balance KGHypnobirthing course to any pregnant ladies I come across! Sarah is so knowledgable and a very engaging teacher so the course is enjoyable and easy to follow. She is a caring person and advocates for women (and partners) making informed decisions that are right for them, to hopefully give them and their baby a positive birth experience. There’s lots of opportunity for discussion in the sessions and no question is too silly to ask! About halfway through the KGH course I started to feel calm and relaxed about labour and birth and not daunted by what lay ahead. The content, the visualisation downloads and the breathing practice I was doing (I never managed enough!) helped me to feel prepared and with more confidence than I expected! It’s such an important job that we have to do as mothers to bring our little ones into the world so I believe it’s hugely important to feel as trained as possible for that. As well as KGH, I also did an NCT course (because that’s what everyone suggests you should do and to help me meet local mums) but I found the labour and birth information in it was nowhere near as thorough or as clear or as interesting as the KGH course. The Birth Baby Balance KGH course is worth every penny of investment to help you feel informed, confident, relaxed and as ready as you can be.” Lucy Jewitt, 1st time mum to Henry, born September 2020.

“Ended up getting to the birth centre at 9am already 8cm dilated after quiet labouring throughout the night, and then went really well with no pain killers at all, even no gas and air, just with hypnobirthing. However, he was wonky, his head was coming out but despite lots of pushing not the rest, so ended up with ambulance ride to the hospital, then spinal block and forceps birth as he was starting to suffer from being very low for a long time, so it all got a bit exciting at the end! Your hypnobirthing course was the main reason we had the most amazing experience, even with a twist at the end, so got to thank you for so much! I wouldn’t have been able to keep calm without all your help.” Lucy H, first time mum to Felix, born April 2020.

Courses are held in Witney. The groups are small and intimate, and there is time for everyone to ask questions as we go along. Each course is 5 weeks long, with the sessions lasting 2.5 hours Group courses cost £260/couple or it is possible to arrange private courses at £420, which will be held either at a venue in the Wychwoods, or in the comfort of your own home.
