• Who is HypnoMum®

Hi, I am Claire, mum to Lilith and Arabella, wife to Jonny and a proud HypnoBirthing® parent.

I gave birth to Lilith in February 2007 using the methods and techniques gained through attending a HypnoBirthing® course. Shortly after her birth I became a qualified practitioner so that I can share the experience with others.

I had my second daughter, Arabella May in January 2009 and again used the techniques I teach to facilitate a drug and stress free birthing experience as I had planned.

Giving birth to my daughters was a rewarding, relaxing and stress free experience and since then I have watched Lilith and Bella grow as calm, happy and content children - I believe this is a direct result of my pregnancies and birthing experiences.

Like many other women I had heard my fair share of negative stories about labour through family and friends and I felt it was an unnecessary worry that was hindering my pregnancy. I read the HypnoBirthing® book and decided that this was the way I wanted to bring my baby into the world. I attended the classes, practiced at home with my husband and when the day came I felt prepared and ready to birth the way I wanted – drug free. I am so happy that HypnoBirthing® enabled me to relax into the birthing process and I look forward to sharing these processes with you.

I am also a Clinical Hypnotherapist & Hypno-Analyst, Birth & Postnatal Doula & Infant Massage Instructor. I have trained with EICH Brighton, Nurturing Birth and To Baby & Beyond. I am accredited with Doula UK, Fedant, Complimentary Therapists Association & APHP.
