I understand that being pregnant is a very special time of our lives, and I am so happy to be able to help families to feel confident and supported throughout their journey. 

Hypnobirthing is really a fantastic way to prepare with, and my experience so far is that it has a positive effect on labour and birth every time. I read more and more positive birth stories from my lovely couples who did Hypnobirthing with me, and I hope to receive loads more in the future.

I also work as a fitness professional, so I am familiar with motivating people, and help them to achieve their goals.

I hope I will see you in my class one day, and we can work together to achieve that beautiful birth you have dreamt of.

Warm wishes,

Mara

Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy! I am an experienced midwife, mother to three and co-founder of Surrey and Sussex Midwives who specialises in birth education and KG Hypnobirthing. If you are looking for antenatal classes and support with a local midwife and an opportunity to meet other parents to be in your area, then I would love to hear from you.

After qualifying with a first class honours degree from the University of Bedfordshire in 2010 I spent my first year working in a small district hospital before venturing out to a busier maternity unit. Here, I worked for a period of time on the maternity unit before becoming a community midwife in 2012. During my time at that hospital, I chose to set up my own birth and parenthood course. I provided this to the women in my care and case loaded the families that were choosing to have their babies at home. 

​

I qualified as a Katharine Graves Hypnobirthing Teacher in 2013. I admit I was a bit of a sceptic (along with most people who hear the term hypnobirth) but was astounded at how much sense it made, and how simple the techniques were.

In 2014, I moved to another NHS trust in Surrey where I worked as a community midwife before becoming a member of a fantastic case loading home birth team.

​

I have experience in all aspects of midwifery, from supporting women with complex pregnancies and births in the community and hospital setting, to providing continuity of care to women and their families choosing to have their babies at home. I also have a lot of local knowledge of additional support available during pregnancy and postnatally with your baby, gained through being a local midwife, but also a mum too!  

Moving to the countryside was the best thing we did! Shortly after joining the home birth team my husband and I were blessed with the arrival of our daughter Ada, and then eleven months later (believe those midwives when they say you can fall pregnant when you are exclusively breast feeding), Eleanor came into the world. If we weren't busy enough, we decided to have another baby, and this year and our beautiful baby boy, Rupert arrived at the beginning of 2019.  Hypnobirthing was an invaluable technique for my pregnancies and births. I felt calm and in control, and confident that my body and baby knew what they were doing. My partner found the course incredibly useful, and felt prepared and at ease during the whole pregnancy and birth.  

It's been a whirlwind couple of years, but I wouldn't change a second. I feel privileged to be a midwife and now a mother and am looking forward to supporting you and your family through your pregnancy and birth. 

Hello, my name is Dariya and apart from hypnobirthing, I teach Dreambirth Imagery techniques for conception, labour, birth and parenting. I have a background in teaching dance, yoga and meditation. I still teach the last too. I have always been passionate about everything related with the power of the mind&body. I found about hypnobirthing when I got pregnant with my first baby and just thought It would be too selfish not to share it with other women. It did make a profound difference in my nearly 48 hour long labor and thanks to the hypnobirthing techniques and knowledge I managed to have a natural and pleasant birth. My second birth though was an incredible water homebirth which changed completely the way I teach and help women. I am absolutely in love with this method as it provides a complete antenatal education and gives you the tools to have the best possible natural birth. After the course, you will be full of confidence and trust in the power of your own body to birth your baby beautifully and joyfully. An experience that will empower you for the rest of your life.
