Let’s rewind to 2018, pregnant with my son and keeping my fingers crossed for a serene and uncomplicated birthing experience. I signed up for a Hypnobirthing class, and walked away with some useful breathing techniques, but I struggled to relate to the more ‘mystical’ aspects of the course.

The breathing techniques ended up being a game-changer - keeping me calm through the rollercoaster of a challenging labour with more surprises and interventions than I had hoped for. Yet, after giving birth and reflecting on the content of the Hypnobirthing class, I realised the mysticism that had been off-putting to me were all grounded in scientific fact, and had they not been covered up with blossoming flower metaphors, I would have had a deeper understanding of the birthing process, known my rights and felt more in control. Knowledge, it seemed, was the missing link.

And so, Mindsway Hypnobirthing was born. My passion? To empower birthing individuals with not just techniques, but a holistic understanding of the physiology of birthing and their birthing rights. It’s about being informed, feeling confident and taking control of your unique journey to parenthood.

I am a certified Hypnobirthing instructor and did my training with Riot Birth Network (formally TBU Academy). I bring an inclusive, non-judgemental, straightforward and fun approach to my classes which are based in South East London, on Zoom, or across London for private courses.
