Hi, I am a qualified hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner as well as a Hypnobirthing teacher. I know from my own birthing experiences I went into labour completely uneducated, unprepared, scared and negative about birth. My second birth was completely different and it was an amazing experience which still gives me butterflies to think of now. I am so passionate about helping people. As a hypnotherapist so have dedicated my career to helping people get over there fears. Hyonobirthing I feel is a privilege, to be part of possibly the most exciting part of someone’s life is an honour.

About Me

Having grown up in a large family, as the middle child of nine, I scarcely recall a time when I wasn’t surrounded by babies or pregnant women.  It seemed natural for me to follow suit.  I started my family young and was blessed with five children, and now a brood of wonderful grand-children.

I always knew that I wanted to be a midwife.  However, when I left school, it was routine to train as a nurse before specialising in midwifery.  For many years I balanced a career in nursing with bringing up my children.  In due course, with support from my kind, patient and supportive husband and my then teenage children, I qualified with a degree in midwifery in 2007. 

Becoming a midwife has been the best choice I ever made.

For the last ten years I have worked in a busy maternity unit in Huntingdon.  I currently manage a large community caseload with regular shifts on the labour ward. I am fortunate enough to have been present for the birth of hundreds of babies, with each woman’s birth story being unique. 

I support women throughout their pregnancy and see them at home with their new baby afterwards.  Ensuring women and their partners are well prepared for labour, giving birth and beyond is an invaluable and enjoyable part of my job.

I have been a nurse and midwife for over 40 years making the move into education 5 years ago. I am currently a senior lecturer in midwifery at Anglia Ruskin University and still work clinically as a midwife at Peterborough City hospital. I have been passionate about the promotion of normal birth my whole working life and was instrumental in creating the midiwfe led unit at Peterborough with a fellow midwife.  Whilst it won't promise you a perfect birth KGH offers strategies that can help empower women and their families to take control of their pregnancy, labour and birth.Within hypnobirthing there are many techniques and strategies that are equally useful for dealing with the stresses and strains of everyday life. Here at Athene we offer flexibility with our 1:1 classes as they can be done here or at your home and at a mutually convienient time. Our group classes offer the chance to meet other parents to be and are held in Tansor. My other great passion is holistic therapies. When not working I have my own buisness which offers a wide variety of treaments from massage to bridal hair and make up.

My husband and 2 daughters have lived in the growing community of Cambourne since 2000.

I  have worked as a birth and postnatal doula since 2009, I hold a level 5 foundation degree in Antenatal and postnatal education, am a qualified NLP practitioner specialising in the 3 Step Rewind technique , I  trained wtih BabyCalm and the school of Babywearing and have completed lots of online learning modules with the University of Warwick. All of which has helped me support many families through pregnancy birth and their early parenting experiences

I am keen and excited to be running hypnobirthing sessions currently online via Zoom to small groups or in a more private one to one setting.  Enquiries through my facebook page CamBirth Support or email.

I am a Midwife working privately within my community to support women and families through pregnancy, birth and postnatal time. 

I have a passion to ensure women have care and education which is centred around them and their specific needs.  I endeavour to provide this with kindness, enthusiasm and with a sprinkling of humour!

For the last 8 years, I have been working on the Delivery Suite as a Maternity Support Worker. It is a privilege to be part of a family's special day and each time, I find it humbling to be involved in providing support to whoever requires it in whatever way. Working alongside midwives to support women and families sparked my interest in hypnobirthing.

I have a Level 3 Diploma in Maternity and Paediatric Support accredited by City and Guilds and an Advanced Level Apprenticeship in Health, Maternity and Paediatric Support. I have a special interest in Mental Health and Wellbeing and I am a Mental Health First Aider and Crisis Volunteer.

Hi! Nice to meet you! 

I'm Tacita, I'm 34 and I live in Cambourne, Cambridge with my husband Adam, our son Leo and cats Bumble & Fudge. Adam and I met at the University of Leeds, and after more study at the University of Sheffield, and a trip around the world we moved to Cambridgeshire in 2013.

We discovered hypnobirthing whilst pregnant with Leo. I'm a self-confessed control freak, and after watching one to many TV drama births, I needed to feel in control again. After reading lots of pregnancy & hypnobirthing books, completing a hypnobirthing course and lots of practice with Adam - I had the most wonderful birth with Leo.  It was calm, relaxed and empowering - I felt like Superwoman! 

I decided shortly after to complete my hypnobirthing training, I want all parents to have access to informed, confident, calm, relaxed and empowered births - Mama's tlc was born.
