I am your brain's bodyguard, a Midwife, Hypnobirthing teacher, birth debrief facilitator mother of two.
I qualified as a Midwife in 2017 and went on to work at a busy South London Hospital.
When I was pregnant with my own daughter, I made the decision to train as a Hypnobirthing teacher having witnessed many birthing people use it and seeing first-hand how effective it could be.
I have always had a passion for empowering women during pregnancy and childbirth as I believe a positive birth experience comes from support and antenatal education.
I trained first and foremost in order to use the tools myself but also because I knew wholeheartedly that they could benefit so many other birthing people. My own birth experience led me to examine the effects of birth trauma and appreciate the need for greater understanding of what took place and why. This is why I am here to act as your birth debriefing service, to facilitate healing from an experience that may not have been as positive as you had hoped for.
Topics I cover:
- Unravelling your birth
- How to respond to your baby as well as recognising your own needs
- PTSD & baby blues
- Understanding your triggers & how to manage them
- The mental load & how to delegate responsibilities
- Checking in to see how you are
- Processing the change
