BETTER BIRTH

WHAT IS HYPNOBIRTHING?

Hypnobirthing is a birth preparation technique based on scientific evidence using guided hypnosis to prepare for a positive birth. My classes are a combination of antenatal education covering the physiology of birth, how your mind affects your body and the progression of labour, balanced information on your choices, advice on the best ways to optimise your chances of a natural birth (including environmental effects, gentle nudges to help induce labour and birthing positions), the importance of researching and planning (and how to write a birth plan), combined with the repetitive reinforcement of positive affirmations and imagery of birth to overwrite a lifetime of negative associations with labour, relaxation techniques, breathing and fear release exercises. 
The aim is to plan for your best birth, not your perfect birth, and to ensure you feel positive about the experience no matter how birth happens! 

ABOUT ME

Why hypnobirthing?

Hi I'm Erin and I’m a mum of 3 to two wonderful little girls and a gorgeous baby boy. I live in Bromley on the borders of Greater London and Kent.

After having 3 very different births, my interest and passion in childbirth and birth preparation increased with each child, until I decided to take the leap and train to become a hypnobirthing instructor with The Little Birth Company and share my passion for empowering women to have an informed and memorable birthing experience. Having given birth 3 times I have a fair bit of first hand experience! I’ve had births on wards, on midwife led units and at home, in water and without, epidurals and drug free births, been induced, had PROM, spontaneous births. I’ve formula fed, bottle fed, expressed fed and breast fed. I’ve experienced PND, and come through the other side. And all my experiences have led me on a journey to become a hypnobirthing instructor. I hope to help other women give birth positively, feeling safe, listened to, informed and empowered! 

I currently offer two hypnobirthing courses by The Little Birth Company, which I teach from my home in Bromley, or from the comfort of yours if you're in and around Bromley, Petts Wood, Chislehurt, Beckenham, Orpington and surrounding areas, as well as online via Skype or Zoom. Take a look at the classes page for full information on course content and prices. I am PASSIONATE about helping women have a positive birth, and hope to help you bring your baby earth side with joy.
