I've always been passionate about my role as a midwife and am lucky to do a job that I love and enjoy, however since having my son I have realised my dream to also focus on antenatal education. 

I run The Village Midwife antenatal/postnatal courses and offer 1-1 and group hypnobirthing sessions on top of this. As a midwife, I have seen the effect that birth education can have on a woman and her birth partner's experiences and aim to empower them to have the best birth possible, as well as enjoy the antenatal and postnatal periods!

I am also passionate about providing this level of care to women coming to parenthood through all of the different ways possible!

I have worked for ten years in the area of behavioural change and am now excited to be using these skills within this field, working with expectant parents to help towards a positive birthing experience.

My name is Becky. I'm a qualified Midwife and Health Visitor. I'm also the proud mother of my little boy. I had such an epic birth with him and I believe this is due to the knowledge and experience that my profession gave me. But not all women have that prior knowledge, which is why I think that KG Hypnobirthing is great! It provides parents to be with the Real information so that they can have a calmness during their pregnancy, Labour and the early days with baby.

I believe in empowering parents to be to have the best Birth possible for themselves. 

I am a three time Hypnobirthing mummy, and Clinical Hypnotherapist with a peaceful therapeutic practice just outside Oxford city, but I go wherever my works takes me. I run popular group courses in Oxford, Thame and Eynsham Witney but also offer private classes  across Oxfordshire and surrounding counties. 

I have experience and training in several types of Hypnobirthing and have 3 very happy hypnobabies! As well as delivering the highly regarded KGHypnobirthing course, I offer hypnotherapy for fertility, morning sickness, antenatal & postnatal services and have great success turning Breech babies with Hypnotherapy.

Before hypnotherapy, my years of scientific learning (biology & psychology) led me to a long and rewarding career in the emergency services. I was able to support people who were often going through the most stressful & challenging times in their lives and am delighted to continue supporting people as a Hypnotherapist. Hypnobirthing is one of my greatest pleasures as a therapist. Having a baby is without doubt a pivotal time in your life, and Hypnobirthing brings invaluable calm and confidence to it. Your memories of your babies birth will last you a lifetime, so why not make them positive?

I’m Ruth Prowse a qualified hypnobirthing practitioner through KGHypnobirthing. I qualified as a hypnotherapist in 2009 following a Psychology BSc at The University of the West of England.

I am also a hypnobirthing mum myself! 

As well as being a KGHypnobirthing teacher, I am also a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and run my own practice in Wendover. 

When I am not working, I am busy looking after my two gorgeous daughters and my extremely nosy but loveable cat!

Gill completed her teacher training with Katherine Graves of the hypnobirthing association, the woman who is credited with bringing hypnobirthing to the UK, before founding Simplyborn. Her aim is to offer professional hypnobirthing courses to professional women and their partners, bringing a sound, scientific and grounded approach to what many people may originally dismiss as an airy-fairy discipline. Gill is committed to helping make your experience of pregnancy and childbirth a positive and empowering one, and at this very special time in your lives  is keen that you enjoy the courses, hopefully having a few laughs along the way and leaving feeling energised and confident.

Gill became interested in hypnobirthing when pregnant with her second child. Due to a previous bad experience she turned to hypnobirthing having heard about the benefits it can offer both during pregnancy, through labour and beyond. ‘Whilst maintaining a healthy scepticism I decided to pursue it as an option for a natural, calm birth. I also thought it might help allay some of my fears and anxieties around my pregnancy.’ After reading  several books on  hypnobirthing  I totally bought into the theories and practices, and the idea that we in the west have been conditioned to expect childbirth to be painful, whereas in many cultures this simply isn’t the case. Childbirth is often over-medicalised and subject to a myriad of monitoring and interference that often is totally unnecessary. ‘  After undertaking  the hypnobirthing course herself  her daughter Emilia was born peacefully, swiftly , painlessly and calmly .

Gill lives in Chalfont St Peter, Bucks and offers courses to couples in the surrounding area of South Bucks. She is fully trained and insured to teach hypnobirthing courses.

I first discovered hypnobirthing in 2004 while pregnant with my first daughter. I was terrified of the prospect of a natural birth but went on to have a calm, pain free experience where I was in complete control. I have since had two fabulous home births using the hypnobirthing techniques.

Since 2005 I have helped many couples to birth confidently and calmly. I trained with Katharine Graves of KGH and now train trainers as well as running my parent courses.

Holding a BSc Psychology and Biology I recognise the importance of both psychology and physiology in the hypnobirthing training. The course educates and prepares the body and mind using well established biological knowledge about birth processes.

I spent ten years as a teacher giving me a catalogue of teaching methods to ensure you get the best from the hypnobirthing course.

Whether it is your first or fourth, each birth is a unique and emotional journey and I hope to help you to find the path that is right for you.

I have seen the difference that hypnobirthing makes in my own birthing experiences and of those that I have introduced to hypnobirthing. The KGH course I teach will give you the tools to have the positive, empowering, calm and comfortable birth that you want.

I teach hypnobirthing alongside pregnancy yoga, reflexology, giving classes in the Bucks / Berks area. I've been a midwife for 16 years and have a family of two, and I'd love to help you through the birthing process as well.
