My hypnobirthing story started over two years ago when I was pregnant with my first baby. Until this point in my life all I had heard was that childbirth was  painful, dangerous, and a risky business. I was convinced that being pregnant and giving birth was one of the few miracles in life that we get to experience, so why shouldn’t it be experienced positively?

From my academic background in Social Anthropology I believed that our reality was socially constructed. If we are told over the years and through mass media that childbirth is painful then we will believe and perpetuate this reality. So with a little help from Google I came across some fantastically positive birth stories. It was so refreshing. The one thing they all had in common was Hypnobirthing. So at my next appointment I asked my midwife about it and to my surprise she was very supportive and said my hospital offered a KGHypnobirthing course. I looked no further and signed up immediately.

My husband and I proceeded to practice and then use hypnobirthing successfully for the birth of our son almost two years ago. Since his gentle and calm entrance into this world we became strong advocates for hypnobirthing. However, reactions to our positive birth story were not quite what we expected. Many of our friends and family found it odd that we could speak so positively about something that is traditionally presented more negatively. Some dismissed us as soon as they heard ‘hypno’ thinking we were trying out some sort of new fad, not knowing how much scientific and physiological grounding there is in hypnobirthing.  These reactions spurred me on to wanting to change the rhetoric around birth and take a more active role.

I since trained as a hypnobirthing teacher with Katharine Graves, the only hypnobirthing course accredited by the Royal College of Midwives. I am now a qualified KGHypnobirthing teacher and I'm ready to spread the message.

I hope that through teaching and supporting other women and their partners that we can change the rhetoric around birth together. We can start looking forward to our birth experiences and begin parenthood positively. 

I’m Lizzie, mum of one and registered KGHypnobirthing practitioner. Having previously worked as a Primary School teacher and with a degree in education, I understand and appreciate the huge importance education holds in our lives. Being able to educate and work with couples embarking on the most important, challenging, exciting and special time in their life is a real privilege.

I gave birth to my son in 2017 and had always been terrified at the prospect of it.  I knew in order to be able to get through it, I needed to prepare myself. I signed up to a hypnobirthing class and it was the best thing I could have done. I learnt how my body worked and began to understand that it and baby knew what they needed to do and so was able to start putting my trust in them.

I went from being terrified to being genuinely excited about giving birth. I was prepared, knew what I needed to do and wasn’t afraid that things might not go quite as we had planned. It was this confidence and determination that helped me when things didn’t quite go to plan. I have first hand experience of the difference hypnobirthing can make to your pregnancy, labour and beyond and couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

The kind of birth you want is a truly personal thing and no one woman is the same. I will work with you and your partner to prepare you for the birth that is right for you

I'm Andrea Halvorsen. I’m a qualified KGHypnobirthing teacher, trained on a course recognised by the Royal College of Midwives, and laboratory technician with several years experience in clinical laboratories. I’m a science person, that’s why hypnobirthing ticked all the boxes for me. Let me explain further: hypnobirthing is about body functions and the power that our mind has over them, I am talking about hormones, muscles and the way our bodies have been designed to give birth naturally.

I’m mother to 3 awesome girls and I’ve been through 3 different births: medicated, non-medicated but traumatic and a blissful hypnobirthing with my third. I wish I had come across hypnobirthing earlier but I am grateful that I had the chance to experience such an empowering birth. I really believe that hypnobirthing can make a difference to any birth and that every woman, baby and partner deserve to have a positive birth experience. That is why I decided to train as a hypnobirthing teacher and create Positive Mama.

I’m Kara Cox. Producer by day and Hypnobirthing teacher by night. Mother of two hypno-babies.

The mere mention of pregnancy and birth used to make me break out in a cold sweat. That was before I stumbled upon this rather mystical sounding hypnobirthing. I did the course. Did LOTS of practise. The rest is history.

Baby number one was a swift, calm, hospital hypnobirth. Baby number two was a mind-blowing breech home birth.  Thanks to hypnobirthing I’ve turned my biggest fears into my greatest achievements and I would LOVE to help you do the same.

I am a KGHypnobirthing trained teacher, accredited with the Royal College of Midwifery. I am also a trained actor and keen yogi. Both these things help me to breathe and not take myself too seriously!

I came to teaching Hypnobirthing because I did it myself and it worked. Simple as that. I had two very different births, but both times, practicing Hypnobirthing made me feel confident and in control. It allowed me and my partner to feel at the centre of the birthing experiences, making choices we understood and felt sure were the right ones for us. Although under very different circumstances both my births were extremely memorable and unforgettable experiences.

Whilst pregnancy is a period of joyful excitement, it can also be filled with fear and apprehension, and I firmly believe there are practical strategies couples can take through Hypnobirthing to allow them to enjoy and celebrate their journey towards birth and parenthood    

Hi, I'm Yetunde a qualified KGHyponbirthing teacher and a mother of two. I discovered hypnobirthing in my first pregnancy while researching everything about birth. Having always believed that women are naturally designed to birth without drugs or pain I was thrilled to find proven techniques to facilitate this. Using the breathing techniques, visualisations and affirmations I enjoyed both my births and felt empowered by the process.

Knowing that hypnobirthing really works I wanted to share this with other women and their partners.

I am a mother of two who truly believes in hypnobirthing. After my two postive birth experiences all I want to do is help other women to achieve the same.

I am a registered midwife, KGHypnobirthing instructor, former university lecturer, mother of two girls, and resident of Highams Park.

I have a first class honours degree in midwifery from King’s College London. My dissertation was on women’s experience of a diagnosis of tongue-tie. My training was at St. Thomas’ Hospital, where I currently work part-time. I had a lovely homebirth with my second daughter while I was a student.

Before training as a midwife I was a university researcher and senior lecturer in education development. I have lots of experience of qualitative research – talking to people about their experiences – in the context of healthcare and learning, and learning for healthcare practice. I had my first daughter at Whipps Cross Hospital while I was a researcher, just completing a project looking at teamworking on delivery suites.

I am a feminist and am deeply passionate about supporting women, managing expectations, smoothing the transition to motherhood and helping women to make informed choices. By teaching couples with KGHypnobirthing I aim to empower women to have a calm, comfortable and positive birth.

Hello and congratulations on your pregnancy. 

I'm Jemma Bailey a fully qualified KGHypnobirthing teacher and a hypnobirthing mother too. 

I found hypnobirthing in May 2017 when I was a very anxious mum to be, who was literally terrified of the prospect of giving birth. One of my best friends recommend I tried hypnobirthing, so my husband and I reluctantly booked on to some sessions with a wonderful teacher Jules. 30 mins in I went from 'rabbit in the headlights' to a relaxed, chilled and empowered mother to be. With daily practice and support from my husband our daughter Henrietta arrived late August 2017, after a magical birthing experience; from the moment I held her in my arms I felt empowered as a mother. 

The experience coupled with the tools I learnt in hypnobirthing have quite literally changed my life -as cheesy as it sounds, both my husband and I live a much more stress free, fulfilled life and we are calm, confident parents. 

In early 2018 I decided that I wanted to share this experience with other women and support them through pregnancy and in motherhood too, so I qualified as a KGHypnobirthing teacher and have been supporting parents ever since  

​  

I'd love to hear from you and how we can work together to empower you in achieving the right birth for you and your baby.  

Qualified nurse and midwife, interested in alternative and complimentary solutions within healthcare.

I love yoga the great outdoors and travel.
