Hypnobirthing East - Teachers' Directory

I live in East London with my husband, Emerson, and our two children, Hudson and Harper. I grew up in the beautiful, wide open spaces of Montana and then moved to sunny California to get my BSc in human biology from the University of California, San Diego. I moved across the pond to East London in 2013. I love it here-the creativity, the diversity, the community. Both of my children were born here using Hypnobirthing, which gave me a lot of comfort and confidence throughout my pregnancies and births. In a time of uncertainty, I appreciated the clearly laid out practices and how transformative it was to learn about our amazing bodies-that I shouldn't be afraid to do something our bodies have been doing for hundreds of generations. Many women experience pain free births, could I not try to do the same? I realised it would take work as I didn't already believe in the possibility of a comfortable birth at the time. Both births were empowering and incredible, and one was even pain free (both natural, and both big babies!). In addition to teaching Hypnobirthing, I teach yoga as well. I'm lucky that my work consists of teaching things that I have felt the true benefits of, and my passion for what I teach drives me to keep learning and refining what I share with others.

My name is Charlotte and I am a practicing midwife, KGH hypnobirthing teacher and a proud mum of one hypnobirthed baby. I have years of experience as a midwife and have had the pleasure to be at many different types of birth during my career so far. I have seen how hypnobirthing can help women feel prepared and in control during their pregnancy and go into their labour and birth with a positive mind set. I am passionate about pregnancy, birth and parenthood and believe that antenatal preparation is vitally important. I feel privileged to be able to teach women and their birth partner the techniques of KGH hypnobirthing to enable them to have the birth they want. I experienced personally how powerful hypnobirthing can be when I gave birth to my own baby and I want you to feel the same!
