ABOUT ME
Hi,
I’m Kelly, a practicing North East midwife, hypnobirthing teacher and mother of two.
My experience of supporting women as they navigate their journey through pregnancy, birth and parenthood and my own experiences of pregnancy and motherhood, inspired me to create an antenatal & hypnobirthing course that’s informative, practical and empowering, but most of all real!
My aim is to help you achieve the birth you want, whatever and where ever that might be.
Knowledge is definitely power and my comprehensive, evidence based course will leave you feeling fully prepared for your birth and transition into parenthood.
What is Hypnobirthing anyway?
Hypnobirthing teaches you how your mind and body can work together to create the best possible birth experience.
Hypnobirthing is a mixture of parent education, self hypnosis, relaxation, mindfulness, breathing techniques and massage which help release any fear and tension you may have around birthing your baby. These techniques help to produce our body’s natural hormones oxytocin (which helps progress your labour) and endorphins (the body’s natural analgesia).
Research shows hypnobirthing can result in fewer birth interventions, decrease the need for pharmacological pain relief in labour and enhance the overall birth experience by promoting feelings of calmness, confidence and empowerment.
You will feel supported and able to use the tools and techniques for labour, wherever or however you are choosing to birth, be it at hospital, a birth centre or your home and whether that be unmedicated, medicated or via a cesarean.
Hypnobirthing is for all births.

Bespoke 1:1 Classes
My private 1:1 antenatal sessions are for expectant parents who may prefer a more personalised, bespoke class where we can focus on the area’s of most interest to you and your individual circumstances.
Sessions can be entirely personalised to your situation and can involve more than one birth partner or siblings if required.
Private sessions are available at a time to suit you and can take place face to face at my studio in Sunniside, Gateshead or in the comfort of your own home.
