Hypnobirthing Kent - Teachers' Directory

I am Gina Potts, founder of ZenBirth, a leading provider of KG Hypnobirthing in Kent and South East London. I am a hypnobirthing mother of two beautiful hypnobabies, and I have been teaching hypnobirthing since April 2011.

I first found out about hypnobirthing from a friend late in my first pregnancy. I read the book, and I knew immediately that hypnobirthing was for me. I passed the book along to my husband and he was also enthusiastic about the hypnobirthing approach. We took semi-private classes and when on to have a beautiful 'zen' birth experience with our son. You can read all about it on my website (www.zenbirth.co.uk).

I am passionate about hypnobirthing and supporting couples to have positive birth experiences. I hold a Diploma in KG Hypnobirthing (accredited by the Royal College of Midwives) and a Certificate in HypnoBirthing (Mongan Method). Additionally, I am an NCT-trained Breastfeeding Peer Supporter. And I regularly undertake on-going study and continuing professional development. I am a member of the KG Hypnobirthing Steering Group, an active member of the Hypnobirthing Association (UK), and have also been member of the HypnoBirthing Institute (USA). I am registered and insured by FEDANT (the Federation of Antenatal Teachers).

Please feel free to contact me for a chat.

I utterly believe that every woman is capable of birthing her baby naturally, without interference, in the vast majority of cases. I whole-heartedly trust in the wisdom of nature and in every woman’s intelligence and inner wisdom to know what is best for her and her baby. My experience as a qualified midwife has confirmed my belief and I have been privileged to be ‘with women’ for many, many, beautiful normal births. I have never ceased to wonder at the power and wisdom of the labouring woman and how, if left alone, she will know just what to do and when to do it - peacefully and in perfect control of her natural urges to birth her baby. 

My training as a psychotherapist has deepened my understanding of the importance of the quality of the attachment relationship between a mother and her infant. There is a lot of literature that confirms my own experience and belief that the kind of birth a mother has directly influences, not only her early postnatal experience and relationship with her infant, but her psychological well-being and sense of self for many years to come. Birth is a rite-of-passage for every woman and I am privileged to be able to have the skills I need to help pregnant women to prepare for their birth and to maintain a sense of control and inner peace, whatever the outcome. 

As a clinical hypnotherapist and having previously practiced as a midwife, I wanted to continue to support women through their child birthing experience. With my calm, nurturing approach to child birth, I can give you tools to enable you to have a calm, comfortable and confident birth experience. 

I am a nurse and midwife with over 7years experience, so I have experienced first-hand the amazing benefits of hypnobirthing. My active registration can be confirmed on the Nursing and Midwifery Council Register.

I also have two children of my own, and often wish I had discovered hypnobirthing earlier so I could have tried it myself.

Having worked in a busy London hospital for several years, and then a busy local hospital, I decided to have a change of pace and pursue a great passion of mine, antenatal education.

When I heard about the KGHypnobirthing teacher training course, I felt it was a brilliant way to combine antenatal education with hypnobirthing, something I’d always be fascinated by. Through completing this Royal College of Midwives accredited course, I now hold a Diploma in Hypnobirthing and I am a member of the Association of Hypnobirthing. The KGH course exceeded my expectations and I am very excited to share this knowledge and help to empower you in your pregnancy and birth. 

I am a hypnobirthing mother of a beautiful little girl, and since having her have realised how passionate I am about helping other women have a positive birth experience. 

Hi, I'm Sarah and a-side from co-creating my two little humans, Hypnobirthing has been the most amazing thing I have ever experienced, It really has been the best gift I have ever given myself. Who knew you could breath a baby out? (A lot of clued up super mama's that's who).

When I'm not in the From Mum To Another's Office (any coffee shop in Sevenoaks) I fill my days by ferrying the wildlings around and taking in my beautiful surroundings with the pooch. 

So come along to one of my classes, bring the bump and I'll bring the biscuits xx

My name is Deborah Harris and I live in Ashford, Kent with my husband and two children, Jake and Annie. 

In 2011 I qualified as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist which led me to work in a Primary School. I adore my job - it is a privilege to support families and to be a part of a school community.

I have always been an advocate of women's rights and found more and more that I was interested in being part of something which helps support women.

KGHypnobirthing empowers women to make choices which are based on information - rather than assumption - and I am very proud to be part of the KGH family.

I am Katy.  Mum to Maggie, my spirited and sassy daughter born in June 2016 and Jasper, my firecracker son born just 18 months later on New Year’s Eve 2017.  My husband Chris and our fur baby, Little Bear complete our family.  We live in Tunbridge Wells.

We were lucky enough to stumble across hypnobirthing in early pregnancy with Maggie.  Prior to that, I knew nothing about birth other than what I’d seen on TV!  Since then, I have lived and breathed hypnobirthing  and I am still applying the skills I learnt to this day as a Mother.   I can honestly say, hypnobirthing changed my life.  Every parent deserves to have a positive birth experience, which is why I decided to retrain as a hypnobirthing teacher after Maggie was born.

I am a certified KGHypnobirthing teacher and founder of The Birth Thing. I feel strongly that we aren’t taught enough about birth and how our bodies work from a young age and I want to be a part of the movement to help change that.  Without the education that hypnobirthing gave me about my body and birth, I believe I would have a very different perspective.
