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

There was no way of knowing back then how it would change my life and work completely... we never know what’s around the corner (or up atop the roof!)

Every days a school day.... 💓💫 we were just talking about orgasmic birth yesterday.... this goes way beyond. The female body is wiser than we know...

Did you know that the clitoris is part of your birthing equipment.

And here’s how:

The clitoris is like an iceberg (not the cold and effected by global warming bits), what you can see actually only accounts for about 10% of the entire organ.
The remaining 90% of the clitoris nestles behind the vulva, its wishbone shape encircling the vagina. It has large tear drop shaped bulbs (bulb of vestibules) that sit either side of the opening to the vagina...or, from a birthing baby’s perspective, they sit either side of the exit. And it has arms that spread out up to 9cm into the pelvis and the clitoris nerves are huge, reaching way further in and around the pelvis than you’d expect!

Here are some things we know about the clitoris:
* It is currently believed to be the only organ in any human’s body which exists for the sole purpose of pleasure.
* The majority of women require clitoral stimulation to achieve a large enough release of oxytocin to orgasm.
* We don’t know a lot about the clitoris...the full size and shape of this little beauty was only discovered in 1998 and then finally pushed into public consciousness in 2005! (Don’t even get me started on why that’s an issue!)

Let’s take it as writ that the human body is a masterpiece of evolution. Many thousands of years of nature tweaking, selecting, prioritising and honing to create the ever evolving human form we are currently walking about in. Everything has its place and purpose, right.

So why would a woman/birthing person have 90% of an organ which is apparently only for pleasure wrapped around her birth canal?

What’s it doing THERE and not somewhere else?

It is a well known fact that stimulating the clitoris in labour results in a huge release of oxytocin, the birthing hormone. Many people instinctively touch their clitoris as their baby is descending but some do it consciously, knowing that it can have an easing effect on this birthing stage of labour.
When the clitoris is stimulated, those

It’s a full moon weekend... and a lunar eclipse. Usually my sle is very disturbed around full moon but last night I slept soooo deeply thanks to @sselvatico Sound Enchantment (on his YouTube channel!) and I want to pay it forward with this hypnosis recording free from my website.

Continuing to support expectant parents throughout

Continuing to support expectant parents throughout lockdown has been a privilege, not to mention fascinating. The reality of being pregnant and birthing during a worldwide pandemic has so often confounded expectation and assumption.

I have just one space left on the course beginning 10am - noon on Saturday July 4th and running every Saturday morning through to August 8th.
Six weeks of coming together with a small group of like minded folk for a couple of hours reflection, practice, information and inspiration.

Next course isn't til September so if you or anyone you care about is "due" before Halloween give em the heads up would ya?
much love

I've just loved sharing hypnobirthing with expectant parents through lockdown.
Every single one of you has confounded expectations of those who know not the determination of parents who are engaged in their own lives and understand the power of the mind-body connection.

Overwhelmingly the feelings are gratitude and excitement. The resilience and confidence I witness is both humbling and inspiring. (ps this baby arrived safely and joyfully at home 48 hours later ;-))

Today would have been my maternal grandma’s 93rd birthday. She’s been on my mind a lot these past few weeks as i’ve ben tracing my maternal ancestry and she’s a pivotal plot twist in the narrative that led to my existence.

There’s discrepancies in the story that gets told as to how old she was when she met and fell in love with my grandad but it seems to have been around the age of 15-16. Born and raised in Egypt, she was training with the Red Cross when she met a handsome English man who would regularly pass through Suez. Part of the engineering team building a railway line for the war effort he was moving up and down through the continent constantly. He regularly told us growing up that it was love at first sight.. Their relationship was frowned upon by everyone, they didn’t care. This spirited, independent, courageous young woman married her soldier at a time that ‘mixed’ marriages were controversial to all. She moved across the world, away from a rather lavish lifestyle in Egypt to post war Britain with a young baby and forged a new life in a very tough time. In the latter part of their lives they would uproot again to the Algarve for an enhanced quality and extension of life after Grandad suffered angina attacks. Beginning all over again in a new culture, building a house in the hills, neither of them speaking the language - I now realise how much courage and spirit that takes and am in awe of them both.

Some of you will have heard me talk about wearing a ring I was given by grandma when attending births to channel her spirit and intuition. She was feisty and fun, she wrote shopping lists and swore in Greek, she loved an Ouzo, playing card games and dancing. i channel her all the time when I roast nuts her way, make tomato sauce her way and do grandmas chicken soup when a cold is hovering.

I wish she was around for me to ask more about her traditions and upbringing. How she learned about working with the moon, the spells she’d cast that I never questioned. I suspect she’s here guiding me as I uncover more about my maternal line and the power therein. After all, if she hadn’t been the free spirit she was I wo

When an assignment is due for the Masters degree I’m studying everything becomes a distraction! Having just moved there are countless opportunities to do something other than reflect or write... Today would have been my grandmas 96th birthday (the witch - I’ve written about her before... will dig it out and repost!) so it’s only right I clean up and polish this coffee set of hers that’s been boxed up for DECADES right?
It’s going to be perfect for cacao ceremonies when we can be in circle again!

People are talking about easing out of lockdown and "a new normal". Whilst I really want to see people "in real life", I'm not quite ready for crowds and movement... Having been working throughout and moving house I am feeling the need to retreat myself.

I have one last report to write this week to complete the second year of the Masters degree I'm doing at Bangor Uni then I'm taking a couple of weeks downtime to settle into my new space and begin to process the past few months. As part of that i will be drawing to a close the morning Mindful Moments at the Summer Solstice. This daily offering may evolve into something else but for now we will pause.

I can't help but begin to consider what I've learned / am learning and really enjoyed this writing... https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/five_lessons_to_remember_when_lockdown_ends

The full moon could be seen as the climax of the monthly lunar cycle. The energies build and build and build to the full moon and then bang! there is some full moon madness followed by a sort of cosmic lunar sigh. There is after all a reason we have the word “lunatic” and why traditionally the emergency services are always busy on a full moon.
The full moon then is all about peaking and then releasing the old: letting go of negative patterns releasing unhelpful thoughts, habits, ways of being.
As a partial lunar eclipse, many are saying this has ramped up the energies so you may be feeling out of sorts, heightened emotions. Take some time for yourself to rest, replenish and recharge with this free hypnosis session.

This morning we'll kick off a new week, a new mont

This morning we'll kick off a new week, a new month (and a new home for me) with a new practice. One I've wanted to share with you for a while and frankly been a bit nervous about guiding as it's a bit different.

Sa Ta Na Ma Meditation is a Kundalini Kriya, becoming scientifically recognized as a powerful tool for preventing or stopping Alzheimer’s disease, increasing all aspects of cognitive function and reducing stress levels while improving short term memory.

The meditation is a combination of chanting a mantra while moving the hands through mudra’s (mudra means “a motion of the hands” or “a dance of the hands.” )

Take a look at the pictures here to see the mudras we'll use. Touching your thumb with each of your other fingers, in sequence, applying pressure with each touch.
We do this with both hands at the same time.

SA Mudra
The connection of the tip of the thumb and the tip of the index finger held while chanting SA.
It is believed that the connection of the thumb and first finger brings us knowledge, expands our field possibilities and releases us from limitations.

Ta Mudra
The connection of the tip of the thumb and the tip of the middle finger held while chanting TA.
It is believed that the connection of the thumb and middle finger give us patience, wisdom and purity.

Na Mudra
The connection of the tip of the thumb and the tip of the ring finger held while chanting NA.
It is believed that the connection of the thumb and ring finger brings us vitality and aliveness.

Ma Mudra
The connection of the tip of the thumb and the tip of the pinky finger held while chanting MA.
It is believed that the connection of the thumb and pinky finger aids clear communication.

I used this meditation last summer whilst I was dreaming up a new life and it was truly transformational. I'm excited about sharing it with you this morning.
Come join me!
