I have two hypnobirthing courses with availability before Easter so if you’re “due” before August I heartily recommend you bag your place.

The first of the February courses atThe Well Garden has the added benefit of a break between the 2nd and 3rd sessions. A chance to digest and integrate all we’ve discussed and practiced, for insight and questions to develop. We then come together again for sessions 3 and 4 and you remain engaged with the course and your group for longer.

Come join me in the course that offers more resources than any other:
✡︎ 12 hours of fun, chatty small group sessions
✡︎ Why Hypnobirthing Matters and The Positive Birth Book - two of the most helpful books in pregnancy!
✡︎ a specially created course journal plus follow up emails after each session
✡︎ 40+ hypnosis and meditation recordings tailored to support you throughout pregnancy, birth and post-natally
✡︎ Aromatherapy blends
✡︎ Continued support up to and beyond birth

Understanding how your body works is important, it’s not that same however as believing it DOES work and that’s one of the reasons we use hypnosis. This kind of brain training takes some time and practice and exploring your options opens them up.

Join me for a deep dive hypnobirthing immersion
Sunday March 15th 2 - 6pm @thewellgarden
For those who are unable to make a whole course this is an opportunity to immerse themselves in the approach and tools of hypnobirthing.
I'll send you a copy of my book "Why Hypnobirthing Matters" and hypnosis recordings when you book and some prep material before we get together.

During our afternoon together we will discuss affirmations, how and why they work and what yours might be, I’ll have you think about what feelings and qualities you want to strengthen within and how we can anchor that to all of your senses for birth.
We will explore mindfulness of body and breath-work for birth (and life), massage for quick endorphin release and deeper touch for intense surges.
The total cost for both of you for this workshop and all materials, plus my ongoing support is £150.
Link to book online and lots more info in bio.
Get in touch for a natter if you have any questions or concerns... always happy to chat.

Blown away by the response to my first sound bath in Melton Mowbray on the full moon eclipse on Friday (I was so caught up in it I forgot to take a picture 😂). A dozen intrigued souls came to be soothed by the sounds of the crystal bowls, gong and chimes whilst the bright moon eclipsed.
I am so excited to create regular gatherings with sound here and know there‘s a like minded community to meet 💕 ...

It’s never too early to book your place on a hypnobirthing course with me. As soon as you do you’ll receive a copy of my book “Why Hypnobirthing Matters” and access to hypnosis and mindfulness recordings which are tailored to you from the first trimester of pregnancy.

I’m acutely aware whenever you do any kind of course it can bring up feelings of learning, academia, schooling... for some that’s exiting and means a trip to buy a new notebook and pencil case (🙌🏻) for others it’s feelings of terror!
Neither help.

There’s a very big reason I’ve tailored my sharing of hypnobirthing+ in the way that I have. ✡︎ This is not school. ✡︎ You are not with me to learn HOW to give birth.
Your body already knows how to do that. Your baby already knows how to do that.

Big groups, power point presentations, uncomfortable chairs, A4 bound project folders.... all lend themselves to feeling like a student.
Which lends itself to notions of “homework” and “revision”; which ultimately turns giving birth into a test you either pass or fail.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

My groups are small, informal and insightful. My room at @thewellgarden has been purpose built for comfort and is a real home from home.
I’ve designed a purpose built course journal along with “The Positive Birth Book” by Milli Hill, “Why Hypnobirthing Matters”, 40+ hypnosis recordings and SOOOO much more I truly have your back during this adventure.

As if all that weren’t enough it’s worth saying that hypnobirthing+ is about SO MUCH MORE than birth. The approach and skills we’ll explore and practice will support you in the way you work, love, live.

Now taking bookings up to Easter 2020

Full moon feels 🌕

All of em!

Anyone else awake much last night?
Don’t be surprised if you’re feeling a little sensitive, heightened emotionally today.everything is getting amplified by la Luna so see what you can do to help stay grounded today and let go of trying too hard, release what doesn’t serve, you’re ready... Me? I sought out water this morning at #meltoncountrypark and am thrilled to be offering a gentle healing sound session @meltonwellnesshouse with @yogashalamelton this evening.
Be kind with yourselves today... xx

Been feeling emotional ? Extra sensitive or vulnerable?
We're in eclipse season which began on December 26th and continues with tomorrow's Full Moon eclipse... Lunar Eclipses bring portals of accelerated energy that help to shift and move things from our lives. They can also bring endings and resolutions to things that we have outgrown but are yet to let go of.
This can feel harsh as they often clear a path for us that we didn’t quite feel we were ready for.
Whereas sometimes we have to act on a Full Moon in order to benefit from the energies, under this Eclipse we may just have to sit back and allow the Universe to bring in whatever it may.
We are ready.

I'm so grateful that I get the opportunity to share the soothing, healing benefits of crystal bowls and gong on this first full moon of the decade with new souls in a potential new home... synchronicity... ...

Proud as punch to be part of the gurl-gang that is @theeveevent 💪🏻
One sunny afternoon I ventured down towards the Thames Barrier Park thinking I’d be doing a standard podcast chat and then remembered who I was meeting 😂
I know we laughed a lot and @tomkinsjacqui and I alarmed the younger ones with our language 😂🤬. We talked real life, embracing change, what’s wrong with hypnobirthing, what mindfulness has to do with anything and why I moved out of london without a clue what’s next.... I’ve yet to listen to it so who knows what passed the edit.... join me in listening and
give them a follow if you aren’t already 😘

Thank you @yolande___devi Always ahead of the curve and leading the way for me to follow... I forsook “beautiful” papers and wrapping for brown paper and ribbon for this year’s Christmas gifts. Now I’ve been introduced to furoshiki, the Japanese art of wrapping.
A beautiful and practical way of choosing sustainability and reusability over disposable paper and plastics.

I’m always learning from you gorgeous soul.... 💕💕 ...

Here in the Northern hemisphere as darkness reaches it’s zenith and the calendar year draws to a close we will inevitably be seeing talk of “New Year, New You” and resolutions all over social media… I’m really not a fan.
Firstly January 1st just doesn’t FEEL like the start of a new year like say September or April do… Winter is a time to rest and dream up ideas and replenish energies for new projects to begin with the Spring. HOWEVER… this weekend sees the solstice - the official beginning of Winter and the darkest day for us in the North. After the solstice the light begins to return and for the ancients, the indigenous, the natural cycle followers, THIS is the beginning of a new year…

Beginnings require an ending and solstice is the pause between. In these days leading up to the solstice it becomes darker and darker and a natural time for reflection.
With all the travelling, planning and moving going on I left it quite late to consider how I might spend this solstice. Now looking locally in the Midlands I’m sad that there aren’t any gatherings I can join (you’re hearing it here first, I’ll be co-hosting a Winter solstice retreat in 2020!) so I’m creating my own way of honouring this ending and beginning. I wanted to offer it up with some resources in case you want to share in this ritual.

This FREE reflective exercise is a practice in welcoming the coming days and new year with ease, gratitude, and inspiration. Feel free to complete it in one sitting or over several days.
With all the busyness of the season it’s really not the end of the world if you do this this weekend or next, it’s the gifting of time for yourself, for reflection, to move forward consciously with heartfelt intentions that matters, In all honesty I may well begin this process this weekend and pick up the following when I’m gifting myself a couple of days away alone.
All here in my latest newsletter for you - https://mailchi.mp/af44530e72f4/hypno-moving-2499069 ...

Take care out there... heightened energies can mean sapped sleep, unresolved issues coming up for reflection and whilst she looks glorious this full moon can feel a touch too much for many. Take extra care, nourishment and nurture where you can. 💕 ...

Woke up with a sore, tight jaw.... must have been “chewing things over” in my sleep... The jaw is the only moveable joint in the head so psychologica tension can get caught and stored here... especially when we’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed.
Whilst smiling, laughing and kissing are brilliant ways of releasing tension there’s NOTHING better than doing a lot of horsey / raspberry lips to loosen up and let go. 👄 💫 Combine it with a shake out of the hands and 💥 you have the Berry & Bloom greeting 😂💫 Stress is a mindbody experience and we can use both to alleviate tension and reset.
As the festivities ramp up give it a whirl... 😘 (ps: if you do hypnobirthing with me you’ll find out how loose lips = loose lips 😂) #stressrelease #mindbody #tension #mbsr #mbct #hypnobirthing #looselips ...
