1-2-1 Hypnobirthing with Becoming Mama Collective
Prepare for birth with calm, confidence, and trust in your body
I discovered the power of Hypnobirthing with the birth of my fourth baby — and my only regret is not finding it sooner.
My first three births were filled with fear, anxiety, and the feeling of being a patient within the system rather than an empowered birthing mama. Of course I was deeply grateful for my healthy children, and I quietly longed for a birth experience where I felt calm, empowered, and connected to the process.
For my fourth and last birth, I decided things would be different. I committed to Hypnobirthing and set the intention to replace the familiar fear–tension cycle with a relaxation–opening cycle, approaching birth from a place of faith instead of fear.
Even when my waters broke and I needed to be induced, I stayed committed to the practice. Using the breathing techniques, visualisations, and relaxation tools I had learned, I laboured calmly and reached 10cm dilation using these techniques alone, only asking for gas and air during transition.
I felt completely present, deeply connected to my body, and in awe of its strength. My midwife turned away for a moment and when she turned back she exclaimed, “She’s out!” — I had instinctively followed my body and birthed my daughter myself.
It was the birth experience I had always hoped for.
Powerful. Calm. Transformational.
As I held my baby in my arms, I knew one thing for certain — I wanted other women to experience this too.
Because birth is something we remember with incredible clarity for the rest of our lives. It becomes a story we carry with us and impacts our confidence as we become a Mama.
Surely we owe it to ourselves to do everything we can to create the most positive birth experience possible.
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a powerful birth preparation programme that helps you release fear, build confidence, and understand how your body is perfectly designed to give birth.
Through practical tools, education, and guided relaxation, you learn how to work with your body during labour rather than against it.
When we feel fearful, our bodies naturally tense, which can slow labour and increase discomfort.
When we feel calm and safe, the body can relax and allow birth to unfold more efficiently.
Hypnobirthing gently retrains the mind to approach birth with calm, trust, and confidence.
Where the mind goes, the body follows.
Perfect for First-Time Mamas and Subsequent Births
Whether this is your first baby or you’ve given birth before, Hypnobirthing can be profoundly transformative.
First-time parents often find it incredibly reassuring to understand how birth works and how to support the process.
For mothers who have already given birth, Hypnobirthing can be an opportunity to release fears from previous experiences, build confidence, and create a very different birth story this time.
It is never too late to prepare for a more positive birth experience.
““Our nightly practice of your techniques is such a lovely experience for us as a couple. We both feel it’s going to help us so much and is already bringing us closer together.””
Your 1:1 Hypnobirthing Experience
Your private Hypnobirthing course includes up to 6 hours of personalised teaching, designed specifically for you and your birth partner.
Together we prepare your mind, body, and environment for birth so that you feel calm, informed, and empowered.
During our sessions you will learn:
✨ How your body is naturally designed to birth efficiently and comfortably
✨ Powerful breathing techniques to support labour
✨ Deep relaxation and visualisation practices
✨ How to release fear and build confidence for birth
✨ The incredible connection between the mind and body during labour
✨ Evidence-based information about pregnancy and birth
✨ How the maternity system works and how to navigate it confidently
✨ The important role of your birth partner and how they can best support you
✨ Simple practices you can use at home to prepare for birth
Your birth partner will also learn practical ways to support you during labour, helping create a calm and supportive environment for you and your baby.
The Benefits of Hypnobirthing
Many women who practise Hypnobirthing report:
• Feeling calmer and more confident during pregnancy
• Shorter and more comfortable labours
• Reduced need for medical interventions
• Feeling more in control of their birth experience
• A calmer, more peaceful environment for their baby’s arrival
• Stronger bonding between mother, baby, and birth partner
Most importantly, Hypnobirthing helps you approach birth with knowledge, trust, and confidence, whatever path your birth takes.
Preparing for Birth
Think of birth like preparing for a marathon.
You wouldn’t run a marathon without training your body and mind first. Birth deserves the same preparation.
Through practice, visualisation, and education, Hypnobirthing gently prepares you so that when labour begins, your body already knows how to respond.
“You can find good information about babies and birth in many places, but Hypnobirthing is the only thing I know that actually makes a fundamental difference to your ability to access your incredible birth POWER! I cannot promise the perfect birth, that is impossible to do as there are so many factors involved. However my experience is that Hypnobirthing ALWAYS makes a significant impact to how positive your birth experience feels. It is a privilege to hold this space for you and share these tools to enhance your birth”
What you’ll learn
✨How to connect with your Birth POWER and innate body wisdom and boost the flow of birth conduicive hormones to give yourself the best possible chance of a physiological birth.
✨Calming Breathing exercises
✨Deep relaxations & Visualisations
✨Very effective work to release fear and build confidence
✨How your body is designed to give birth with efficiency and comfort
✨Your incredibly powerful mind/body connection

✨How our maternity system works, and how to work with it to achieve the best result for you

✨The integral & super supportive role of your birth partner
Benefits for you
✨You will experience a more comfortable birth.

✨Length of labour is often much shorter.
✨Less drugs and medical intervention are used in Hypnobirthing births allowing your baby to develop naturally and easily after they arrive.
✨Mamas often bounce back quicker after birth as the physical impact of giving birth is reduced.
✨Your birth partner will learn how to support you and have a central and active role in the birth. A truly shared and loving experience.

Hypnobirthing 121s for Caesarean Birth
Alex birthing baby Ernie 💕
Approach Your Caesarean Birth with Calm, Confidence, and Excitement
If you’re preparing for a planned caesarean birth, you may already know that birth doesn’t always unfold the way we once imagined.
But that doesn’t mean your experience can’t feel calm, empowering, and deeply positive.
Hypnobirthing offers you the tools to transform what is often seen as a clinical, high-stress environment into one that feels grounded, intentional, and supported — where you remain an active, connected participant in the birth of your baby.
This is your birth. You deserve to feel present for it.
A Different Way to Experience a Caesarean Birth
There is a common misconception that hypnobirthing is only for “natural” or unmedicated births.
In truth, these tools are incredibly powerful for caesarean birth.
Through simple, practical techniques, you can:
Regulate your nervous system
Reduce adrenaline and fear
Encourage the release of oxytocin — your body’s natural “love hormone”
This hormonal balance supports a calmer surgical experience, smoother recovery, and deeper bonding with your baby from the very beginning.
Instead of feeling like something is happening to you…
how would it feel to be calm, informed, and actively involved in your baby’s birth?
Because birth is something we remember with incredible clarity for the rest of our lives.
It becomes a story we carry with us and impacts our confidence as we become a Mama.
We owe it to ourselves to do everything we can to create the most positive birth experience possible.
From Fear to Calm Confidence
Many parents approach a caesarean feeling uncertain, disconnected, or even anxious about the clinical setting.
Hypnobirthing gently shifts this experience.
Together, we replace tension and fear with:
Deep relaxation
Trust in your body and your choices
A sense of calm anticipation as you meet your baby
Because when your mind feels safe, your body follows.
Your Personalised 1:1 Hypnobirthing Experience
Your private sessions are designed specifically for your caesarean birth, giving you and your birth partner the tools to feel prepared, grounded, and confident.
Together we will:
✨ Create a calm and empowering caesarean birth plan
✨ Learn breathing techniques to stay relaxed before and during surgery
✨ Practise visualisations to feel safe, present, and connected
✨ Understand how to support oxytocin release in a surgical setting
✨ Explore how to reduce fear and reframe the birth experience
✨ Learn what to expect before, during, and after your caesarean
✨ Prepare your birth partner to confidently support you
✨ Build simple daily practices to anchor calm in the lead-up to birth
“You have hugely helped in so many ways with our Caesarean Birth prep I am ready to boss my birth now - thank you thank you thank you!”
Why Hypnobirthing for a Caesarean Birth Matters
Parents who prepare in this way often experience:
• Feeling calm and emotionally prepared ahead of birth
• Reduced anxiety in the operating environment
• A greater sense of control and involvement
• A more positive, connected birth experience
• Enhanced bonding with their baby
• A gentler, more supported recovery
Most importantly, you feel present — able to fully experience the moment you meet your baby.
Birth Is Still Yours
A caesarean birth is your birth story.
It still deserves intention, care, and preparation.
And it can still feel:
Powerful.
Calm.
Transformational.
“Thank you! She is absolutely precious and I am so proud!! Focusing on healing and BONDING completely. Loving being a Mama, and can’t wait for baby yoga with you. All my fears of not connecting with her went out the window, totally in love and so thank you I’ve been hit with all the hormones and Rosie is so special. Josh is absolutely obsessed! THANK YOU for EVERYTHING!!” -Kat, Becoming Mama Client

Birth Trauma and Fear Release
Sometimes birth, pregnancy, or early parenthood doesn’t unfold the way we hoped. When experiences feel frightening, overwhelming, or out of our control, they can leave a lasting emotional imprint.
If you’re replaying what happened, feeling anxious, numb, or struggling to move forward, you are not alone — and gentle support can help.
These 1-2-1 Birth Trauma Release sessions offer a safe, calming space to help your mind and body process difficult experiences from pregnancy, birth, postpartum, or life events. They can also help release fears about an upcoming birth.
This guided process helps your subconscious mind reorganise and re-file the memory, so you can keep the wisdom from your experience while letting go of the emotional triggers that keep you stuck.
Parents often report feeling lighter, calmer, and more at peace after the sessions — with many describing the experience as truly transformational.
These sessions may help if you:
• Feel upset or distressed when thinking about your birth
• Experienced fear, loss of control, or felt unheard during pregnancy or birth
• Have flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or difficulty sleeping
• Feel overwhelmed, numb, or hyper-vigilant
Or are you panicking about giving birth?
Does it fill you with fear?
If you are pregnant and feel worried, scared or overwhelmed about the rest of pregnancy, giving birth or life afterwards, then these sessions are also for you. Pregnancy is a great time to work through some of our patterns, limiting beliefs or fears. A really helpful extra in everyone’s birth & baby preparation would be including these sessions.
Around 1 in 3 women experience birth as traumatic, and yet so many carry these feelings silently. You don’t have to. It can feel so liberating to be free of the grip of trauma…
The Birth Trauma Release process is a gentle, meditation-based approach completed over three sessions:
Session 1 (1 hour)
We settle the nervous system with a guided relaxation. You may share your experience if you wish — but you don’t have to.
Session 2 (1 hour)
We guide your mind through a powerful process that helps re-encode the experience so the emotional charge softens while the learning remains.
Session 3 (30 minutes)
We focus on the future, helping you move forward feeling calmer, stronger, and more at ease.
You’ll also receive guided audio recordings to support your healing between sessions and beyond.
Investment £195 for the full 3-session process (Current Mama clients receive £20 off)
Sessions are available in person at Studio 24 or via Zoom.
Even with myself and 1000s of birth workers working tirelessly to inform and prepare Mamas for a positive birth experience…
“This is incredibly powerful, beautiful and gentle work.
Gifting you the liberation you deserve”
In all cases of Birth Trauma, the Birth Awareness 3 Step Process can really help; just as it has helped hundreds and hundreds of others before you. It cleverly diffuses the emotional charge and creates new neural pathways to increase disassociation from your experience.
100% of people say it is beneficial and 30% say it is transformational…
Ready to Feel Lighter?
If something in you knows it’s time to release what you’ve been carrying, I would be honoured to support you.
