Having worked as a midwife for over 15 years in the NHS across the UK, in the private sector in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UAE and periodically over the past two years on the Isle of Man, it became apparent to me that “natural” births were seemingly becoming something of a phenomenon.

Following this startling realisation I asked myself as a highly experienced midwife - 'Why this could be and what could I do to improve this?' After all, our bodies were designed to, and have been birthing our babies for hundreds of thousands of years, beautifully, naturally and successfully. So, why are we moving further and further away from this natural process?

It dawned on me that there were lots of factors at play here which we could control; our perceptions, our feelings, our emotions and our own self confidence in the childbirth process itself.  It appeared that it was these basic elements that were creating the barriers, the obstacles and ultimately the problem.   This resonated with my own experiences in life and what I did to overcome that.  Over the past few years I have been on a spiritual journey taking up meditation, yoga and self healing. I realised that when we connect with our inner selves use our own inner guidance, we have everything we need within us to be strong enough to be who we truly are and what we want to be in life.

 With this in mind I undertook the KGHypnobirthing (KGH) Course to empower women and their birthing partners and help them to claim back their faith, self confidence and belief in “natural” birthing.

I believe through education, practice and self empowerment that a gentle, natural birthing experience is achievable in a way that is perfect for you, your partner and for your baby.

Having now relocated to the Isle of Man permanently, I am embarking on this new venture – Avetah Hypnobirthing - to help you, the new parents-to-be fulfil your hopes and dreams and assist in making this birth experience the best that it can be…

Congratulations, I really hope to meet you soon.

Love and light
