Hypnobirthing Wales - Teachers' Directory

My love for Hypnobirthing started almost six years ago when I was pregnant with my first daughter; as there were no classes in my area I bought ‘The Hypnobirthing Book’ and taught myself. Now, having experienced two beautiful natural births I am passionate about helping other women achieve the best possible birthing experience. My drive to help other women is deeply rooted and I feel a responsibility to pass on the knowledge I have gained through KGHypnobirthing to others. I have been told that my enthusiasm for Hypnobirthing is infectious and I love helping future mothers and fathers at such an important and wonderful time for them.

Hello, my name is Catrin, I live in Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire. I am a Welsh speaking Mum of two hypnobabies, graduate of Psychology and breastfeeding enthusiast. Tawel Hypnobirthing is my business from which I deliver KG Hypnobirthing courses across several areas within Carmarthenshire,including Llandeilo, Llangadog, Llandovery, Llanarthne and Nantgaredig. What I offer is a complete antenatal preparation programme where my clients are communicated the techniques and resources to be able to approach birth with calm confidence. Whatever your birth aspirations, whatever your fears, we work through these together so that Mothers and Mothers-to-be enjoy their pregnancies and look forward to a positive birth experience. As a Psychology Graduate (BSc) I feel I have the tools and temperament to help individual Mothers and couples to comfortably learn how to relax at the drop of a hat and stay relaxed and calm by understanding the various triggers that can detrimentally affect the human body. I also offer thorough and up to date information on hospital protocols and choices so that my clients can make practical preparations ahead of time.

As a praticing midwife for more than 15 years, I have a passion for pregnancy and birth. I believe that birth is a positive life changing experience that should be without pain or fear. Women instinctly know to trust their body and birth their baby easily and naturally. Footsteps courses are designed to support women through pregnancy and birth to offer the skills and knowledge to birth in the way they choose, uninterupted, unobserved in a birth enivorment of love and psoitivity. I am also a qaulifed antenatal and postnatal personal trainer, and incorporate movement for pregnancy and birth into all of my courses.

I’m Lisa .. Mother of four, Doula, KGHypnobirthing practitionerband founder of birth roots. I offer individualised, nurturing care as one journeys towards and through birth into their post-partum. It’s a joy and honour to walk with and bear witness to women’s power and to support their choices, whatever they may be. . I have no particular focus on one type or place of birth, simply the birth that is right for you, one that aligns with your presenting and evolving needs and desires. My care for women over the maternal year begins by providing support antenatally through to birth and into the postnatal period. This phase, termed the fourth trimester, can often be overlooked, but time taken here always benefits the new Mother, and in turn the whole family. By Mothering the Mother, through nurturing and nourishing care, it allows her to rest and recover, while gently transitioning into her new role, while the whole family adjust to their new rhythm of life. Complementing this I am a Holisitc Therapist, offering Reflexology, Massage and Aromatherapy; for those choosing to enhance their holistic wellbeing. I am also a Placenta Remedies Specialist, working for women who choose to include their placenta as part of their post partum healing, in the form of encapsulation, tincture, essence and homeopathic remedies. Additionally I hold skills in Rebozo, Homeopathy and Acupressure for childbirth, while crafting bespoke Mother Blessing ceremonies and Closing the Bones ceremony, which takes place post partum. My experience personally, and with the clients I support, is that when a woman understands the processes of birth and all the choices available to her within this, receives respectful and compassionate care, she is then better able to emerge powerful, joyful and intact because birth has been positively transformational. This matters to me because women are important, our needs are important, birth is important, Motherhood is important. I admin our local positive birth group, holding monthly birth circles too, nestled here in the Vale of Glamorgan.
