Katy Baker - The Birth Thing

About Me

 

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. 

 

Why KG Hypnobirthing?

As a certified KGHypnobirthing teacher, I can’t wait to share with you the life-changing skills that I have learnt both as a student and as a teacher of hypnobirthing.

Whether it’s your first, second or fifteenth baby, you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, elective C-section, or even if you know nothing at all about what to expect when you’re expecting, I will teach you modern hypnobirthing skills for every birth.

For me, connecting with my hypnobirthing teacher and wanting to learn all the birthing knowledge made my births better – as well as a lot of practice.

I would love to meet you for a chat with no obligation to book a course to see if I am the teacher for you.

Courses

 

The Birth Thing is a complete birth education course that offers expectant couples tools for a calm and comfortable birth

It is an extremely detailed, but thoroughly modern hypnobirthing course, made up of lots of little things that all work together to equip couples with the knowledge to make confident, informed decisions through every step of pregnancy, birth and beyond.

By signing up to my course, you will be in the best position to prepare for a positive birth experience; because knowledge is power.

We will cover:

• The philosophy of hypnobirthing (which absolutely does NOT involve swinging pendulums or clucking like chickens)
• The physiology of birth (the science bit; how our bodies are designed to birth our babies)
• The importance of connecting both mind and body
• How to fear birth less and be fearless (because fear dramatically affects our birthing body)
• The practice of deep relaxation and tools to use during pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond

I teach group courses, private courses and also available via  Zoom if you are unable to attend a course with me in person.
