Hi there, I'm Charlotte. I am a qualified KG Hypnobirthing teacher, yoga teacher in training and founder of Baía Rituals - a brand dedicated to encouraging soulful living throughout every aspect of life.

I am Mum to Indio and Calia, both born at home calmly and I have Hypnobirthing to thank for that. I can quite honestly say - Hypnobirthing changed my life!

Hypnobirthing didn't just give me two wonderful birth experiences, it completely changed my life. It opened my eyes to the power of the mind, the body and the soul, and during pregnancy and after birth I started exploring practices that aligned with this way of thinking. I now practice yoga regularly and meditate to maintain a balanced and grounded life, but ultimately it's all about a frame of mind.

"Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change" - John Assaraf

The KGH method not only equips you perfectly to have the most wonderful, calm, relaxed birth experience, but the techniques and lessons learnt throughout the course transfer into life after birth and will ease you into parenthood and beyond beautifully.

Being pregnant and giving birth is such a precious time in your life, a time that should be cherished, enjoyed and experienced with positivity and wonder.

I would be honoured to provide you with the amazing KG Hypnobirthing course so you and your partner feel calm, prepared and excited about the birth of your baby.

I offer private classes (1:1 or a group of friends) and group classes online and in person. I cover the whole of Essex including Chelsmford, Braintree, Billericay, Ingatestone, Brentwood, Maldon, Ongar, Bishop's Stortford, Wickford, Witham, Halstead. And I also run private classes in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

I am an ex midwife/nurse, trained therapist and Hypnotherapist who is passionate about Hypnobirthing. I am a mum with 3 grown up children and have a granddaughter and grandson. Both my daughters used Hypnobirthing and found it extremely beneficial. I am currently working as a Senior Therapist and a Hypnotherapist in a local University and run a private practise. I can also be found as a practitioner on the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy website Registration number 045310. However, I have always missed being a midwife so feel this opportunity to teach Hypnobirthing gives me the best of both worlds that I would love to share with prospective parents!. I would be happy to meet to discuss your requirements either in person or over the telephone or skype.

Hello! Emily here. 

Growing up and even right up until I was pregnant at 31, I had been terrified of giving birth. I felt like I needed to be as prepared as possible and began a huge reading list to find out as much as I could before I found myself in a situation I knew nothing about. I stumbled upon KG Hypnobirthing and found it covered all the areas I needed to know about and the logic just made sense. I soon understood what was happening to my body which enabled me to stay calm and relaxed and used affirmations, breathing techniques and visualisations to maintain the calm state of mind. I did not have 'the perfect birth.' My son was born in a moving ambulance whilst being transferred from the Withybush MLU to Glangwili but KGH helped me to not freak out and remain calm.

Aswell as becoming a birth geek, I love reading pretty much anything, crocheting, journaling and general crafting. In my day job, I run a project which facilitates and supports adults with learning disabilities in physical activity and I am a qualified gym instructor, swim teacher and group cycling instructor. I tend to do my own workouts at home but enjoy group classes when childcare allows.

I love working with people and have a wealth of experience in customer service. I sincerely look forward to meeting you and supporting you through your pregnancy.
