About Me
My name is Ailsa – I am a mum of two beautiful children, Joshua and Amelia, and married to Stuart. In addition to being a qualified KG Hypnobirthing practitioner, I am also a breastfeeding peer support worker and pregnancy scan assistant.
I discovered Hypnobirthing for myself when pregnant with my second child, Amelia. My first birth was an induction and very medicated, and I was determined the second time would be different. I met a wonderful Hypnobirthing practitioner and went on to have the most wonderful and positive birth experience. I went into spontaneous labour and had a short, calm and comfortable birth. I felt completely in control the whole time and it was amazing.
Since then, I have been passionate in sharing Hypnobirthing with other woman. Following this ambition, I quit my London job (and commute!), re-trained as a KG Hypnobirthing practitioner and founded Hypnobirthing Sussex. I am now living my dream of working alongside expectant parents to help them achieve the best birth possible.
I am passionate that everyone should birth without fear and be able to approach birth informed, calm and confident.

Why KG Hypnobirthing?
As wonderfully put by Katharine:
If a woman has KNOWLEDGE
She understands her CHOICES
This puts her in CONTROL
So she feels CONFIDENT
When she is CALM
She produces hormones that give her a
COMFORTABLE birth
Thats what you learn at KG Hypnobirthing.
Everyone can benefit from KG Hypnobirthing. Although it does not guarantee a 'perfect birth', it always makes a positive difference.
No matter what circumstances arise in your pregnancy or what birth awaits you – be it a home, water or hospital birth, or a planned cesarean section – we focus on making the experience a positive one for you. The KG Hypnobirthing course teaches techniques that can be applied to any situation to ensure a calm and serene birth.
Testimonials
I met with Ailsa to discuss hypnobirthing when I knew I was having a planned c-section. I was unsure how relevant it would be as I wasn't having a natural labour. However, after a few minutes of speaking to Ailsa I found it was relevant; especially the breathing techniques which I used during both the spinal block and the section itself. I would thoroughly recommend completing a hypnobirthing course with Ailsa.
