Esther Knowles

About Me

I’m Esther, a Women’s Yoga teacher, Space holder, Continuum Birth Doula, Home Herbalist, Bee Keeper and nature lover. I’m passionate about creating spaces for women to connect to their inner knowing, to the wisdom of their feminine physiology & to their natural intuition. I’m a deep listener and will hold the space for you to process information, to feel your feelings & to come to your own decisions about how you would like to bring your child into the world.

I hold an appreciation for the complexity of choices in the birth world these days, and I hope to be a gentle, grounded guide with relevant and up to date information to help you as best I can throughout the process. I’m here to walk beside you on your journey through pregnancy, birth and beyond- to be your cheerleader and to support you in meeting your desires throughout this special time. As well as bringing information about birth physiology and your options to the table, I will always hold your innate wisdom at the centre of the sessions we share and will trust that you know what’s right for you. I will offer a non-judgmental space for you to come to your own decisions and will help you to create the optimal conditions for you to have a positive experience of Birth.

Birth is a place of such growth and expansion for the Mother and all those around her. It is my intention to bring some grounded presence, love and an extra dose of faith in your innate bodily wisdom into the journey’s mix. I will listen deeply to what it is you’d really like to receive from our sessions so that it can be the most supportive for you. We can tailor sessions to your needs, which we will explore in our first meeting.

Some examples of what I can offer you are:

-A safe and supportive confidential space for you to share your excitement, concerns and hopes -Meditations & Visualisations tailored to what’s arising on your journey with the option of recording for you to re listen to whenever you desire

-Womb Yoga to help you prepare your body to soften and relax before birth and to help with recovery afterwards
