About Me
My interest in childbirth began with the arrival of our children in 1997 and 1999.
Thanks to reading Dr Michel Odent, Sheila Kitzinger, Grantley Dick-Read and Ina May Gaskin, and attending pregnancy yoga with Kaye Mellor in Oxford, my understanding around labour & birth changed.
With this positive and inspiring information, I looked forward to my births. Our daughter arrived without intervention at Chipping Norton Cottage Hospital and our son, on the front seat of our car, ten minutes before arriving !
This was no coincidence. From then on I’ve wanted to share the tips I believe helped, with every pregnant mum I’ve come across. You can find testimonials from many of them on my website, hugely grateful for insights which made it possible, ‘to have the best birth possible’, for them. www.natalhypnotherapycotswolds.co.uk
I’m certain the process of a well managed pregnancy and labour enhances a woman’s self belief and confidence, even when intervention is used, providing far-reaching benefits for her and her family.
Having had two children with the benefit of birthing wisdom, the fundamental difference it’s made has been huge. My commitment remains sharing this with you, either in your home, or mine or over zoom.
We can chat throughout your pregnancy, as much as you need, helping you remain calm, supported and prepared. I can attend your labour (alongside your other chosen birth partner, sharing with them the role as much or as little as you both would like) and offer moral and practical support afterwards.
I attended doula training with Dr Michel Odent and my greatest pleasure is sharing this crucial knowledge with other women and seeing the relief and fascination on their and their partner’s faces.
I qualified as Natal Hypnotherapy ante natal teacher under Maggie Howell; allowing me to help prepare expectant parents.
When you feel confident and informed it helps reduce any fears you may have, the enemy in the labour room.
I have experience using Bach Flower Essences and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping). Both can play their part in the birth process but also long term, helping maintain harmony within the family.
I’ve supported hospital births, both natural and with intervention, VBAC births, water births and home births.
I’m well placed to attend the John Radcliffe, Gloucester, Chipping Norton, the Horton in Banbury and Swindon.
In addition to this, my growing passion is supporting woman using Closing The Bones, (please see my website for information) after their baby’s births; an ancient rite, and preparing them fully for their Post Partum time or Fourth Trimester; key to ensuring their best start to parenthood.
Please call to discuss further.
