Hypnobirthing Merseyside - Teachers' Directory

TIME has been lovingly crafted and created by Terri Irvin. Terri has been in the health and wellness industry for over two decades and during her career has been involved in everything from Health Spa Management and Skin Analysis, through to working with some of the top skincare product houses, both in the UK and internationally. As a Spa Consultant, Terri has trained 5-star spas all over the world and her in-depth knowledge of products & ingredients has led her to be an expert in her field.
In 2015 Terri became a mother for the first time! This was to be the most fundamental transition in her life that carved a path for the future. Balancing being a pregnant, working woman was the first challenge, but was far from the last (but you can read more about that on our blog...) Since becoming a parent, Terri's interest in the birthing journey & motherhood has grown! Treatment-led pregnancy, the bodies' 'form' during pregnancy, the passion for a safe and positive birth, understanding of nutrition and successful breastfeeding are all core to her passion to support and mentor new parents on their birthing journey.
This combination of professional expertise as well as a desire to draw on her own parental experience has naturally developed in a career in nurturing mums to be. TIME (Terri Irvin Managing Expectations) has developed a bespoke & personal treatment plan for new mothers. Through pregnancy massage you will be introduced to Hypnobirthing. This allows the body to completely relax and has many health benefits for both mum and baby!
Having a baby isn't the end of this wonderful journey... it is just the beginning. This is why we also offer a full support service.
I am a 46 year old mum of two (or five if you count my husband and dogs!) and feel the fittest I have ever felt. I am a Midwife and Personal Trainer, specialising in women’s health and fitness of all ages, including pre and postnatal exercise. I have 26 years midwifery experience and trained with Katherine to become a hypnobirth teacher. I am passionate about women's health and the pregnancy and birth process. It is an honour and a privelege to play such an important role in assisting and empowering women to enjoy a calm and memorable birth.
Hi and congratulations for choosing Hypnobirthing. I am first and foremost a mum to two beautiful girls I adore. I am also a midwife in the field for over 10 years. I have specialised in supporting mums with complicated lives, anxiety, depression and previous births they have not felt at ease with. I have a DipHE in Psychology and am trained in foundation Hypnosis and have taught various hypnobirthing methods. I have chosen KGH for its simplicity and its easy pairing with good midwifery care.
If you would like to experience support, care and feel calm and in control of your baby's safe arrival, then give me a call or email.
My name is Rachael, I am a mum to my beautiful daughter Bobbi born May 2017. I am a strong believer that with the right focus, mindset and practice our body can do anything...especially birth our baby. I have become a KG Hypnobirthing teacher as I believe all women have the right to a positive birth. More women need to stand up to and switch off from negative birth stories and start their birth journey right. KG Hypnobirthing gives you the confidence to do this and paves the way to a relaxed birth. I am incredibly proud to teach this course.
Hi I'm Kim, I qualified as a hypnotherapist in 2015 but had to take a break when I became pregnant, I knew instantly that I wanted to have a hypnobirth after learning about it. The whole encounter was so wonderful and empowering, I couldnt get enough and wanted to pass on my experience so I completed the KGHypnobirthing course to share this amazing adventure with new parents and enjoy teaching them about hypnobirthing.
Lionheart Hypnobirthing provides both exclusive hypnobirthing classes and postnatal follow up within the comfort and familiarity of your home, and group hypnobirthing courses in a local venue. All courses are run and delivered by me, Rachel - a registered midwife, health visitor, hypnobirthing teacher and…most importantly…hypnobirthing mum.
I teach Hypnobirthing because I want every pregnant woman and her birth partner to feel confident, calm and courageous about their forthcoming birth.
I want you to enjoy your labour and birth and know you have choices every step of the way. I also want your birth partner to know exactly what to do to support you. I want you to feel in awe of yourself after giving birth - at your accomplishment, at your strength.
Hypnobirthing makes a positive difference to birth for both you and your baby:
-As You are likely to experience reduced birth sensations and a greater sense of comfort.
--The length of labour is often much shorter.
-Less drugs and medical intervention are generally needed (such as augmentation of labour, assisted delivery and caesarean section).
-A calm and gentle birth for you, is also a calm and gentle birth for your baby! Your baby will be born into a calm and relaxed environment; alert and ready to bond with you as nature intended.
-Reduced incidence of perineal trauma/tearing.
-Mums recover physically much more quickly.
-Your birth partner will learn how to support you and have a central and active role in the birth.
With me, you'll get a truly personal service:
-As my private courses are totally bespoke to you, I can be flexible with days and times. You can relax and feel at ease knowing that our chats are confidential, and the content can be tailored to your individual needs.
-I provide a super important postnatal visit to clients who do my private courses; this is to talk about your experiences, and support you with your transition into motherhood, or with your growing brood.
-Birth partners are fully involved in all my courses; they need to be hearing all the same stuff as you!
- Group courses are kept small to keep things personal.
My hypnobirthing courses fill up quick, so please get in touch to ensure you don’t miss out.
