Hypnobirthing, childbirth preparation and postnatal support in North West London
MAKING BIRTH BETTER
Hypnobirthing will enable you to approach the arrival of your baby with calmness and confidence.
Perhaps you're worried by the stories you've heard about other people's births? Or maybe you didn't feel prepared enough for your first birth? Are you overwhelmed by the information and advice you're being given by caregivers, family and friends? Hypnobirthing provides a way to transform your feelings about birth so that you are prepared, informed and knowledgeable.
It is a complete, evidence-based antenatal education for expectant parents. The course is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives and has been proven to have a positive impact on the experience of childbirth.
I have worked with over 70 families and have received 100% 5* feedback for the quality and depth of the course I teach.
The course covers:
- The physiological processes involved in birth
- Breathing techniques that allow the body to work effectively
- Labour positions and massage techniques
- Practical strategies for entering a deep state of relaxation
- The power of visualisations and affirmations
In-person group classes take place in West Hampstead, NW6.
Please note that I am taking a break from teaching
I hope that this site still provides plenty of useful information as you plan your birth.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
I am a qualified hypnobirthing practitioner, trained in the RCM-accredited Marie Mongan method; the longest-running course offering training in using hypnosis in childbirth. I am also a passionate advocate for expectant parents. I believe that the key to having an empowering birth is to prepare and educate yourself. The more you know and understand how your body and your baby will work together, the more you can let go of fear and tension.

I will support you however you wish to give birth. Birth is birth. Whatever you opt for, the benefits of knowledge, relaxation and confidence will guarantee that your birth is filled with joy. I will give you tools and strategies to face any challenges or changes of plan with calmness and clarity. I will never tell you what to do but I will help you make the decisions that are right for you, your baby and your specific experience.

My approach is not rooted in a single ‘technique’. Alongside my training as a hypnobirthing instructor, I will also provide really practical, hands-on suggestions for labour positions, massage, communicating with health professionals, and looking after your newborn in those early days. I am a breastfeeding peer supporter (trained with the ABM) and I have extensive experience assisting new mums on the postnatal ward at my local hospital: As part of your hypnobirthing course, you will gain in-depth information about infant feeding.

I live in London and I love working with local families. I teach in and around Camden; with a focus on Hampstead, West Hampstead and surrounding areas. I know these locations like the back of my hand so I can provide advice about hospitals, postnatal support and things to do with your new baby in north west London.

I love my job and I feel honoured to be able to support parents as they navigate the first of many decisions and choices they will make in how they nurture their family.
