I have been a nurse and midwife for over 40 years making the move into education 5 years ago. I am currently a senior lecturer in midwifery at Anglia Ruskin University and still work clinically as a midwife at Peterborough City hospital. I have been passionate about the promotion of normal birth my whole working life and was instrumental in creating the midiwfe led unit at Peterborough with a fellow midwife.  Whilst it won't promise you a perfect birth KGH offers strategies that can help empower women and their families to take control of their pregnancy, labour and birth.Within hypnobirthing there are many techniques and strategies that are equally useful for dealing with the stresses and strains of everyday life. Here at Athene we offer flexibility with our 1:1 classes as they can be done here or at your home and at a mutually convienient time. Our group classes offer the chance to meet other parents to be and are held in Tansor. My other great passion is holistic therapies. When not working I have my own buisness which offers a wide variety of treaments from massage to bridal hair and make up.

Mother, wife, retired nurse, midwife and health visitor - now Hypnobirthing Instructor, Hypnotherapist and Doula. I am also a Pregnancy Massage Therapist and Certified Baby Massage Instructor..

I aim to support mums and partners to have a positive, calm birthing experience wherever that is and whatever it looks like

HELLO, I’M JESS 👋

Mum of one, I’m proud to be a qualified KGH teacher, the only Hypnobirthing course to be accredited by the Royal College of Midwives.

I stumbled across hypnobirthing when searching online for more information about birth and labour, probably just like you’re doing right now!

It’s safe to say with everything in the media, and everything I had learned growing up, birth was going to be painful, most likely traumatic, and I was scared.

Then I found hypnobirthing, and it changed everything!  My whole mindset switched from being completely terrified about birth, to actually looking forward to it!  No, I wouldn’t have believed it either, but here I am, so passionate about hypnobirthing that I’ve trained to teach it.  Becoming a parent is such a pivotal moment in our lives. We will always remember our midwives and birth experiences, so I feel really strongly that we should do all we can make it the best experience possible.

It’s really normal and sensible to be sceptical of things we don’t know about or understand, and honestly, the name ‘hypnobirthing’ almost put me off.  It sounds a little bit hippyish, but I promise there’s no weird chanting in circles, no strange zen-like hypnotic states which make you feel out of control - it’s the exact opposite. 

Hypnobirthing can be used in every kind of birth, and it will make you feel empowered, calm and confident, and help you have a positive birth experience.

I hope to see you in class soon!

Hello, I'm Amy Tibble a KG Hypnobirthing teacher and Mum to Evelyn who was born with the support and practice of KG hypnobirthing in 2019. As a diabetic, I had to navigate many medical appointments through my pregnancy. By practicing hypnobirthing it empowered me to remain focused and in control throughout my pregnancy. This was what inspired me to become a teacher and to help other parents to have the best birth possible so I trained to be a KG hypnobirthing teacher which is the only hypnobirthing course to be accredited by the Royal College of Midwives. 

I am one half of Precious Bond Hypnobirthing and we are passionate about giving women a positive experience when they bring their babies into the world. I can't wait to be part of your journey to motherhood, from beautiful bump to holding your perfect baby in your arms.

I firmly beleive that yoga and hypnobirthing were made for each other; both work best when part of a regular practice and are a fantastic way of preparing you for what can be one of the most empowering experiences of your life. By combining the two, the breath and movements will become second nature to you and support you in not just your pregnancy, labour and birth, but beyond into motherhood.
