Taking the hippy out of hypnobirthing

Kat's book is OUT NOW

“Why Hypnobirthing Matters” looks at the origins and rationale for using hypnosis for childbirth. Kat explains what you can expect from hypnobirthing and dispels common misunderstandings in a lively, informative way, giving readers a firm framework from which to make confident, informed decisions of their own.

Ideal for expectant parents, health professionals and all those with an interest in birth and parenting

I’ve always loved creating a safe environment for small groups of expectant parents to use hypnobirthing to suit them personally.
Whilst I’ve supported nearly a thousand couples from Hackney, London; the current need to create offerings online mean the whole of the UK can now come join me! 😍

Author of “Why Hypnobirthing Matters” (now in publication for almost 5 years 😱) and having taught hypnobirthing for 11 years I am ready to help you turn scared to sacred, fear to fierce and painful to powerful.

You’re worth more than a generic video course, some join me for four weekly LIVE sessions in a small online group and private check in sessions; plus more resources than any other course: “Why Hypnobirthing Matters” by moi, “The Positive Birth Book” by Milli Hill,
a unique course journal with exercises, information and inspiration
and 40+ hypnosis and mindfulness recordings plus ongoing support

Spread the word. I’m ready to help you birth a baby when the outside world has gone nuts!! First course begins next Tuesday 7th April 6pm with many more options. Check out www.berryandbloom.com for all info and online booking. Contact me with any queries.

So much has changed. The outside world has gone NU

So much has changed. The outside world has gone NUTS and if you're pregnant you may well be feeling all over the place.

I have for you two steps to getting your birth back on track.

1 Grieve the birth you thought you were going to have.
It’s okay to be pissed off if your preferred options for birth have been affected by the current pandemic. There is really no need to brush it off and be immediately stoic.
Yes, everything WILL be okay.... but it’s necessary to acknowledge it's a bit shit right now.

2 Get informed and inspired.
It is VITAL you and your birthing partner get informed about how you can best support your body and baby through birth. Get really clear on what you want and how to achieve that. Be inspired by the (nearly 1000) couples I've supported through all kinds of births.

Hypnobirthing has never been more relevant or important than in these times of uncertainty and I have various offerings to help support you wherever you’re at in pregnancy.

There’s LIVE online small group courses run over four weekly sessions to benefit from the group dynamic, be supported through pregnancy and get fully prepared for birth. The first of these courses start next Tuesday 7th at 6pm and Monday 20th April at 7pm.

There’s also a couple of one off sessions in the coming weeks for a quick hit.

Along with many other self employed sole traders, my current and future financial situation is hugely affected by this pandemic and I want to respond mindfully. After careful consideration I am offering a range of options to engage with and a sliding scale of rates.
If you are being paid and in a position to financially support my working with others less able to do so, I / we would be hugely grateful.

All info, dates, prices and online booking can be found at www.berryandbloom.com

One of my most powerful anchors is meditation. Since I became a mother it’s been much harder to practice in quite the same way as I did before but I have managed to create some little anchoring moments throughout the day. Moments to connect, find perspective, remember that things will shift and move on. In some shape or form I meditate every day. While my baby naps on my lap, when I brew my coffee, whenever I go out into the garden and in my most challenging moments.

In the current climate I felt called to share some of this practice with other mothers and mothers-to-be. I know that this is a huge gear-shift time for us all but I wanted to acknowledge the large load many mothers are carrying right now - homeschooling their children, juggling work with little to no external help, as well as the emotional challenges this time of uncertainty brings.

Mothers, the work you do may be hidden but we see you. And if it’s of any use to you I’m holding a free daily (weekdays!) short meditation (because I know you’ve got a lot on) at 3pm - 3:15pm UK time - see link in bio for details.

Tell any mothers you know who might want this. So far I’ve loved sharing this with women from across the globe. It’s beautiful to share a quiet moment where we breathe together and regather our energy.

Beautiful words from @theminimalistdoula 🥰
・・・ Whatever happens Mamas, you’ll get to the other side... Your beautiful bodies are growing your beautiful babies and your bodies will bring them earthside ✨

All of this noise, is just noise...go within EVERY day, get quiet, tune in, be with yourself and your baby...breathe, walk, dance, colour, write, bathe... You can find the quiet, it is there and it’ll be with you when you go within and it’ll be with you at your birth, as you fully let go and just be with your body. You can trust your body knows what it’s doing 💛

Every time the surges get stronger, you move with them, breathe with them, celebrate your incredible body as it does the incredible work of bringing your baby to you ✨

Wherever you are, your eyes will be closed, while you concentrate on your body, while you focus your endless strength, while you feel your baby moving down and into your arms 💛

You have absolutely got this, whatever you’re thinking and feeling right now, your baby will be in your arms soon and just like in birth, the world will fall away and it’ll just be you, your baby and the moon 🌕

Doula love to you all xxx

I don’t think there could be a better time to dust off this book and finally get round to reading it.
It’s important in this time at home to create boundaries and ensure you’re doing even just one nurturing, nourishing thing for yourself. If you have family around you ALL THE TIME it’ll be easy to slip into a whole load of “should” stress... make a deal, with yourself, with anyone else in the house, for some sacred time to read, to nap, to meditate, to move any way you want, to simply sit and stare... whatever.. We’re in this for the long haul folks and the sooner we can create some healthier boundaries and habits the better (I’m talking to myself as much as anyone else here 😳😂) Oh and the book?

I'm hearing from expectant parents who have had their antenatal classes cancelled with promises of Power Point presentations being sent out instead (!). They are, understandably, feeling anxious and isolated.

I am now no longer going to be away for Easter so alongside moving my courses already advertised online, I am also adding in more offerings to support those who have been let down elsewhere.

The first of these begins Tuesday 7th April and runs on 4 consecutive Tuesday evenings, 6pm - 8.30pm.

Having been working online with clients since I left London in October I am super confident the approach works well. Whilst I won't be able to share my home made snacks (recipes are on my website!) I make for groups at The Well Garden, joining a small group from the comfort of your own home without any travel involved is a blessing!
Groups will be kept small, no more than 6 couples, so you have space to explore this approach and share your experience; an important part of the process.

It takes time to embrace the immense changes in pregnancy and feel ready for the wild ride of childbirth. That's why I encourage EVERYONE to get started with the hypnobirthing approach as soon as possible. In this time of uncertainty the approach is even more important.

As soon as I receive your booking I will send out a copy of my book "Why Hypnobirthing Matters" and audio recordings so the process can begin before we meet. I have tailored hypnosis and mindfulness recordings throughout pregnancy, beginning from the beginning, so it's never too early to begin.
Please let your pregnant loved ones know so I can support them at this challenging time.

I am so grateful I am living with mama bear Berry at this strange time we’re in.
She’s been my saviour in this time of transition with me moving out of London and although it looks likely we’ll be together longer than we might have imagined we’re still having a ball.
When I left London I knew I was being placed where I needed to be, even if I didn’t know why. I could never have imagined this turn of events but I am beyond blessed to be able to spend today and all these days with this amazing woman.

To all the mothers out there, past, present, future, I send you love and thanks.
Mother Nature has demanded a time out on us all - it behoves us to listen and follow.
That includes you too, your children will look to you to follow your example. My mum still inspires and teaches me every single day.
So take care of yourself.
Go slow.
Honour your feelings.

With love

It’s only natural to feel anxious in the face of

It’s only natural to feel anxious in the face of uncertainty and dis-ease. Outright fear caused by overthinking, worry and stress is more harmful than it is helpful however.
I have been inundated with advice, talks and meditations for dealing with anxiety on social media this week. What I haven't seen much of is a focus on what might be most physically helpful for us all.

Boosting our wonderful immune systems.
The human body is simply incredible, miraculous in fact, and there are things we can do to support it.

Regulating our nervous system in times of stress, prompting the parasympathetic “calm, healing” response not only grounds us emotionally in times of change but promotes healing, boosts immunity and allows the body to work at it’s optimum level.

To encourage you to make time for yourself to calm the mind and body, I’ve created a hypnosis session specifically designed to help you relax and boost your immune system.
It's free and available at https://www.berryandbloom.com/product/immunityboost/

Utilising brainwave entrainment, the deep tones and extremely slow pacing of the music encourage mental deceleration and help the listener relax into very deep states of consciousness. Visualising something creates changes in the brain. In many ways the brain can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what a person imagines. Just as neuroscience studies show that if we think about moving a part of the body, the area of the brain that governs that part is activated; so too studies on the immune system show that visualising the action of the immune system can enhance it’s function.

Please feel free to share, download, rest deeply and boost your innately powerful immune system.

Boost your immuni-tea! ☕💪 I'm making batches

Boost your immuni-tea! ☕💪 I'm making batches of this tea every other day for my mother and I - it's amazing!

When Yogi Bhajan was an officer in the Indian army, he gave his men Yogi Tea to keep them healthy. During a particularly bad outbreak of the flu, as entire platoons got sick, Yogi Bhajan had his men drink Yogi Tea instead of water.
Not one man under his command got sick.
Here is the original recipe given by Yogi Bhajan:* In a large pot, bring 2.8 litres of water to a boil. Then add:

20 whole cloves

20 whole green cardamom pods (optional: gently crush them under a rolling pin or with a mortar and pestle to open them up)

20 whole black peppercorns

5 sticks of cinnamon

A few slices of fresh ginger

Continue simmering for at least 20 minutes (I give it a good hour) and then add ¼ tsp of a mild black tea (Golden Assam is recommended, I throw in an Assam tea bag). After another minute or two, add ½ pint of milk per pint of remaining liquid. The original recipe calls for cow's milk but any type of milk is fine – cow, goat, almond, soy, hemp, etc. There is no need to measure the milk, just eyeball it.

Optional: add honey or other sweetener to taste.

Each of the ingredients in Yogi Tea has healing properties. The black pepper is a blood purifier and aids in digestion. Cardamom is good for the colon and can help relieve depression. Cloves strengthen the immune and nervous systems. Cinnamon is antibacterial, loaded with antioxidants and is good for the bones. Ginger root is great for the nervous system and is energizing. The black tea in Yogi Tea helps the ingredients amalgamate and makes it more potent as a healing agent.
Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your personal taste. Over time, my own recipe has evolved to include double the spices, 3x the cooking time, and no milk. Experiment! *Yogi Bhajan’s Original Recipe appears in Kundalini Yoga: The Flow of Eternal Power by Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa (1996)

As I get ready to head into London for this aftern

As I get ready to head into London for this afternoons hypnobirthing immersion @thewellgarden I notice timely reflections.

It strikes me this afternoon is a@chance for us all to reflect on the nature of uncertainty and how we are in that.
How we WANT to be in that.
And how we can be that.

I anticipate we’ll explore resilience, kindness, courage, choosing attitudes, making informed decisions.... am I talking about pregnancy and birth or life in a covid-concentrated world?
Same diff right?

Bringing sound baths to Burrough! Sound has the p

Bringing sound baths to Burrough!

Sound has the power to change not just our emotional and spiritual wellbeing, but our physical wellbeing too. Sound baths offer the intention of healing mind, body and emotions, as well as the transformation of consciousness, itself a path to wellbeing.

When conducted with relaxation in mind therapeutic sound sessions can reduce blood pressure and heart rate and relax the autonomic nervous system. Furthermore, the session can slow down our brainwaves, taking them from an awake and alert state to a more altered, deeply meditative state. The result is a lovely, drifty feeling, like the one we might feel just before we are about to go to sleep, which brings health benefits that enable us to be better able to respond openly to the demands of everyday life.

Join me at Burrough Court Studio for a magical Sound Bath where all that is required of you is to lie back and receive the balancing resonant sounds from crystal singing bowls, gong, and other therapeutic sound healing instruments.

These sounds have the potential to relax, realign and restore you on all levels and all you need to do is get comfortable and be open to absorbing them as they take you on a magical journey.

Friday 27th March
12.15 - 1.15pm
@burroughcourt
Come be sonically massaged then have lunch at the wonderful coffee shop! What could be a better way to get the weekend off to a great start?

All welcome!

Can’t think of a better way to have spent Intl W

Can’t think of a better way to have spent Intl Women’s Day and the eve of the Full Moon yesterday than with my hypnobirthing group drawing another course to a close and then with my moon circle sisters last night.

So far this life I’m crafting of having the best of both worlds - a home in the country and a “home” in Hackney is all I dreamed of ☺️ #mooncircle #fullmoon #sisterhood #sharing

Try bringing all of your awareness to your breathi

Try bringing all of your awareness to your breathing right now.

Breathing in, feel the cool air coming in
Breathing out, warmer air leaving
Feel the body rise and fall with the breath
As best you can, bring all of your awareness to it right now.

Breathing... We don't have to think about it right?
And when we do practice conscious breathwork, there's often judgement about not being able to do it "right" - for long enough or deep enough.

Ten minutes mindful breathing meditation every day is a wonderful self-care practice to learn to unhook from the thinking brain and tune into present moment awareness.

When the attention turns to the breath, the prefrontal cortex of the brain is activated, which, in turn, reduces the activation in the limbic system— particularly the amygdala—and the corporeal response is to change from activation of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (fight or flight) towards activation of the parasympathetic branch (rest and repair). In my private practice, breathing meditation is often our first tool to help become conscious of the anchor that lies within us. It's tremendously helpful for all aspects we work together on: be it anxiety, low mood, vulnerability, shame, anger... whatever shadow of the human condition is causing pain.

Download my free mindful breathing meditation and gift yourself just ten minutes a day to see for yourself.
Don't take my word for it, try it as an experiment for 21 days and see if it makes any difference to your life.
