I will guide you through your KGHypnobirthing classes where you will discover so many wonderful techniques and so many “a-ha” moments that will inspire you, prepare you and lead you to the most empowering birth-day that you, your birth-partner and your baby will experience.  I love to connect on Instagram so come over and say hello on @ellivase_hypnobirthing where I will share some real treasures from birth educators, suppliers, midwives as well as events that I will host throughout the year – do come along if you can.  If you would like to meet to talk through any questions, I’d be delighted to catch up, we can have a cup of tea and a chat together or if you prefer, please send any questions to me.

I love meeting people and have always had a caring disposition.  A Royal College of Midwives accredited hypnobirthing practitioner, qualified by the gold standard of hypnobirthing, KGH, and member of The Hypnobirthing Association, I have developed the Brain, Body, Birth concept that can enable a calm and efficient birth.  Additionally I am a qualified hypnotherapist and psychodynamic counsellor – these skills feed superbly into my delivery of hypnobirthing and you will find some fascinating facts and information as we travel along your pregnancy journey together.  

I have written articles for various publications, one will be published in JUNO on 1 June 2024 edition so grab a copy and you will find out more about me and the wonders of hypnobirthing!

I want you both to feel supported and special throughout your birthing journey too – you will never have this birth again or this experience again (with this pregnancy), which is why choosing the birth education and educator that is right for you is so important.

A valuable USP is for all group courses to end with a social meet up within an informal setting. Here, I invite midwives, groups offering support to new mums, baby massage, bump and baby photographers etc who will all be happy to join (subject to shift work). This will enable a drink (on me), an informal chat answering and sharing questions you may want to ask but don’t have the opportunity to, as well as to look at preparing for your fourth trimester and making friends. If you have any questions, please get in touch, it will be lovely to talk to you.

 

I LOVED the hypnobirthing experience. It was truly transformative for me. First two births were induced and long and arduous and then dicey at the end (perhaps a conventional standard?), but after hypnobirthing, the third felt breezy – almost enjoyable and empowering (although I realise this sounds absurd and rose-tinted!).

I felt like I could cope and my body could do it and that I just needed to retain focus on the little hot air balloon that was inflating and being pushed away repeatedly with each contraction for about a day and a bit!

I am a total convert and I’m sure you’ll hear that again and again from whoever you ask. I try to put the principles in action when I become worried or stressed at work, too.

The course  spread over one evening a week for 2.5-3 hours for four weeks.  The course can also be held over a weekend if preferred.  Face to face classes are held in the comfort of your chosen address or in a group at Seacourt Hall, Botley, Oxford.   The courses are interactive, fun, friendly and informative.  If you have a family member or a friend who is also expecting why not join up together at your chosen address, I will offer a discount to the host.

In addition I host Bump Brunches, Bump & Me Afternoon Teas and Pregnancy Relaxations.  Check out my website for various events and dates.
