Hypnobirthing Ireland - Teachers' Directory

I am a busy mother of three children and I've worked as a Midwife since 2000 and before that a Nurse from 1991. I work part time in a busy Dublin maternity hospital and I trained with Katharine Graves hypnobirthing in November 2018 and I received my Diploma in March this year. I have attended hundred of births and I feel very lucky to have cared for women who have used hypnobirthing for their births. I am passionate aboaut normality in pregnancy and labour and I believe women should have choice, continuity and control. Hypnobirthing can also be used by women who are having a caesarean too and it really suits women who have a fear of birth, as it helps break the fear,tension, pain cycle that inhibits the release of natures laove hormone ocytocin. I am in the process of developing my business of teaching hypnobirthing and I have yet to come up with a name and purchase a URL.Very hard to juggle all the balls when you work and have three children to care for and a husband of course!

I am foremost a mother of three teenage girls whom I think are amazing having taught me everything about motherhood.

I am passionate about midwifery and supporting mothers through pregnancy and in the postpartum period.

TIME has been lovingly crafted and created by Terri Irvin. Terri has been in the health and wellness industry for over two decades and during her career has been involved in everything from Health Spa Management and Skin Analysis, through to working with some of the top skincare product houses, both in the UK and internationally. As a Spa Consultant, Terri has trained 5-star spas all over the world and her in-depth knowledge of products & ingredients has led her to be an expert in her field. 

In 2015 Terri became a mother for the first time! This was to be the most fundamental transition in her life that carved a path for the future. Balancing being a pregnant, working woman was the first challenge, but was far from the last (but you can read more about that on our blog...) Since becoming a parent, Terri's interest in the birthing journey & motherhood has grown! Treatment-led pregnancy, the bodies' 'form' during pregnancy, the passion for a safe and positive birth, understanding of nutrition and successful breastfeeding are all core to her passion to support and mentor new parents on their birthing journey. 

This combination of professional expertise as well as a desire to draw on her own parental experience has naturally developed in a career in nurturing mums to be. TIME (Terri Irvin Managing Expectations) has developed a bespoke & personal treatment plan for new mothers. Through pregnancy massage you will be introduced to Hypnobirthing. This allows the body to completely relax and has many health benefits for both mum and baby!

Having a baby isn't the end of this wonderful journey... it is just the beginning. This is why we also offer a full support service.

My name is Karen and I am mum to four children ranging from teenagers to toddlers. I am a Doula and KGHypnobirthing teacher. It is my passion to support and empower women and their families to birth their babies their way in a calm, relaxing and encouraging way. I have experienced hypnobirthing myself and wholeheartedly believe in its benefits to both mother and baby. My first experience with hypnobirthing was with my third birth and this helped me begin my journey of healing following my first two distressing births. My goal in delivering this hypnobirthing course to you is to enable women to release any fears or anxieties that have built up over time in relation to birth. I truly believe in encouraging women to discover their inner power and strength, especially when preparing for birth.
