Hypnobirthing and Antenatal Classes in West Lancashire and Online
The Toolkit to stack the odds in your favour of having the birth that you want and feeling like superwoman
Hello. Im Sophie and Im so glad you have found my page.
Being pregnant in the 21st century can feel like a daunting time, but also an exciting one. In recent times, we are constantly seeing the news about the crisis facing the NHS with staff shortages and lack of midwives. Not to mention the drama that goes on in various films about the birthing suite. You only have to watch Adam Kays ‘This is going to hurt’ depicting screaming soon to be mums, and traumatised partners to really feel terrified of the whole event. Even just being in a hospital setting can be something that is completely new.
I understand, and Ive been there myself. Coming from a place of fear, I knew I had to turn it around. From what I had seen growing up, right through all the years, it has always been portrayed as something you have no control over. It just happens to you, and you ‘leave your dignity at the door’ as they say. It freaked me out and left me doubting if I could really do it. After all, you never see a chilled out birth on TV do you? However, Im telling you that giving birth can be so different!

My Values
Supportiveness
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a tribe of supportive partners, family and friends during pregnancy and birth. I value being able to support women and their birth partners as much as possible through this special time in their lives. That’s why up until birth, I am available via Whattsapp or by phone to have a chat if anything should worry you.
Education
I believe that education is the pathway to empower you to make the decisions that are right for you and your baby. Knowledge is power, and the more you know, the more you understand just what your body is capable of doing. I have worked In the NHS for 16 years within my professional role, and have always been passionate about people having an understanding of what is happening to them. Burying your head in the sand is not the answer, so get wised up and feel excited about birth with my interactive courses!
Listening
I am here to listen to any worries you may have about pregnancy or birth. Often we can be bombarded with so much information in todays world, and things can feel overwhelming and confusing. We may have other peoples birth stories and opinions thrust upon us, and sometimes all we want is someone to listen to us. Please feel free to get in contact throughout the course and after if you need a chat. The most powerful way to connect with another person is to truly hear them!
Choice
I believe that my hypnobirthing courses really help you understand what choices you have when it comes to birthing locations, types of birth and comfort measures. Just because you are birthing in an NHS system doesn’t mean this right has to be taken away from you. Everyone deserves to be informed of the various choices involved as this is your body and your baby!
