'I enjoyed every aspect of the course. But what stayed with me the most is the sense of calm and optimism I had after leaving each session. I would whole heartedly recommend Sofie and her Hypnobirthing sessions and will continue to do so until the end of time! |
'Labour was a genuinely amazing and wonderful experience and I have NO DOUBT it wouldn't have been so great without all of the wisdom and positivity that Sofie passed onto us during our pregnancy. Sofie has an amazing gift in what she does - she is so empowering and honest, it was the best drug I could have been armed with' |
'I just wanted to thank you personally for all those sessions and cups of coffee we had. My wife was truly incredible and was given so much calm strength from your teaching and techniques. What you do is simply marvellous and I am deeply grateful.' |
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a funny name for it really because it makes it sound hocus pocus and something it isn't. It should really be called Mindful or Intuitive birthing because you are choosing to give birth to your baby in a very relaxed, trusting and open way. What you learn on a course are relaxation and visualisation skills as well as ante-natal information that will change your perspective about labour and birth; helping you to remove anxieties and fears that stand between you and birthing your baby, so that you feel empowered to make the right choices for you and your family.
Hypnobirthing uses the power of words and breathing techniques so that, with daily practice, you can focus on having the birth you want, naturally and easily.
You are teaching your mind and body to work as one. You are always in control and as long as you practice the techniques Hypnobirthing teaches you, you should remain relaxed, present & confident throughout your labour and birth, whichever path your birthing journey takes.
For mothers that have experienced it they will tell you it is a wonderful way to give birth and you will acquire skills that will help you and your family for the rest of your life. See Birth stories for some lovely testimonials about how hypnobirthing helped parents with their birthing experiences; whether that be vaginally or via a natural c-section. Hypnobirthing works for all birthing options.

Who is Hypnobirthing for?
Hypnobirthing is for any woman who would like to remain calm and in control during her birth experience, whatever route that journey might take. The aim of Hypnobirthing is for you to have an EMPOWERING birth experience.
Whether you are feeling anxious from never giving birth before or nervous from a previous birth experience I am here to help you learn the skills to manage your anxieties and feel confident, focused and positive with the choices you make and your new birth journey ahead.
Maybe you are a first time mum who has heard about the benefits of Hypnobirthing and would like to give deep relaxation a try to manage your labour instead of alternative pain relief. Or this could be a subsequent birth and you would like to have a different experience. Some mums choose to try Hypnobirthing techniques after a C-section, this is called a VBAC (Vaginal birth after c-section) or you could even use Hypnobirthing techniques if you are choosing to have a C-section. The breathing you learn in the course can really help you to keep calm and relaxed during surgery and there have been reports of quicker healing time after applying Hypnobirthing techniques to a C-section birth.
I also offer support around natural C-sections if that is the birthing route you would like to take. Hypnobirthing really can support all birthing mothers no matter what your circumstances.

'Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.'

I have spent my adult life as a Personal Development Coach and Trainer, specialising in mindfulness, positive thinking, confidence building and managing anxiety and stress, using techniques from Eriksonian Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Counselling.
Hypnobirthing gave me such positive experiences of giving birth and changed my viewpoint on labour and birth so entirely that I have made it my career. I am absolutely passionate about empowering women to have the confidence and belief in themselves to give birth naturally and I feel very privileged indeed that I have the opportunity to do that.
