The Mind & Body Tree Hypnobirthing

What are your hopes for your birth?
Homebirth? Waterbirth? Birth centre? Hospital?
Want to feel empowered and in control whatever happens?
Do you want to be able to stay calm and relaxed throughout your labour?
Would you like to understand your rights and options BEFORE hand? So you’re not feeling pressured to make decisions when you’re in the throes of labour?
Do you want to look back on your birth and feel positive and happy about how it went? And to feel compassionate towards yourself regardless of the course your labour takes?
My Hypnobirthing courses are all about empowering you to have a positive birth experience - whatever that looks like for you! Being induced? No problem! Planning a C Section? No worries. Considering a homebirth? Great. Hypnobirthing is not about achieving one specific outcome for your labour and birth. It’s about empowering you to have the best experience you can under the circumstances and giving you and your partner tools and techniques to support you through this life changing event!

HYPNOBIRTHING// It's been a while, but I'm back next month with a lovely hypnobirthing course that I'll be running from the Elephant Rooms.
As many of your know, I've been a hypnobirthing teacher for a long time, longer than I've been a Nutritional Therapist, and hypnobirthing is really close to my heart. I trained after having two pretty negative experiences of childbirth, hoping that my skills and expertise could help other couples to avoid the same fate. I have absolutely loved working with some amazing couples over the years and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The tools and techniques learned in my classes led to calmer, more relaxed, more positive birth experiences!
Imagine my absolute joy, when several years after training and teaching couples, I was able to put the techniques into practice myself! In December '22 I welcomed a daughter into the world (on Boxing Day to be precise), and thanks in part to the hypnobirthing techniques now very deeply ingrained in my mind, it was an amazing experience.
Next month, I'm running my first full hypnobirthing course since returning to work after having Luna. I'm so excited. The Elephant Rooms is the perfect space and I can't wait to welcome couples onto the course, helping them prepare for their birth and beyond.
Get in touch if you have any questions or would like to book. More information about the course can be found here - https://www.mindbodytree.co.uk/events but please do ask if you have any questions. See you there!

HYPNOBIRTHING// Welcome to my brand new hypnobirthing Instagram page! Here I’ll be sharing tips and info about all things pregnancy, childbirth and hypnobirthing related.
A bit about me… I’m a mum of 2 (aged 12 and 10) and have been teaching hypnobirthing for 8 years. I love working with couples on their journey to labour, offering support, information and techniques for pain relief and to help them feel calm, relaxed and in control.
Did I use hypnobirthing myself in my own labours? Sadly not. I hadn’t really known about it then, although looking back I’m sure it would have helped me greatly. I have, however, helped many women and couples over the years have a really positive birth experience. I’ll be sharing some of their feedback over the course of the next few weeks.
What do you wish you’d known about or done in the lead up to your birth?

This is madness! I hope we can get a change in guidelines ASAP!

We all know how much letting go of the things we can't control helps with our health and wellbeing. It's especially important if you're expecting a baby!

Hey! Thought I should introduce myself for anyone that's new to this page. Whilst I've just set up this page as a separate entity from my main page The Mind & Body Tree, I've actually been teaching hypnobirthing for 7 years!

I started out under the guidance and teachings of Maggie Howell of Natal Hypnotherapy and taught that programme for 4 years. Since then I've also trained as a Nutritional Therapist and 3 years ago set up my businesss, The Mind & Body Tree, under which I offer nutrition and hypnobirthing services.

I've created my own 9-hour hypnobirthing course that's usually run over 3 evenings. So it's fairly accessible for most people regardless of their circumstances. I do group courses and one-to-ones, again to meet the needs of all my clients. And recently I started offering pregnancy relaxation classes at Breathing Space Yoga Studio.

For me, hypnobirthing isn't about having the perfect birth, or even about having any specific type of birth, it's about giving you the tools and techniques to help you cope with whatever comes along. Learning how to stay calm and relaxed in birth will also lend itself well to other areas in your life.

I'm also really passionate about The Positive Birth Movement and am planning to start running monthly PBM meetings in Derby very soon... watch this space!

So, that's me. Please leave a comment to say hi or ask me any questions ☺️🙏
