My name is Karen and I live in Chelmsford with my husband and three boys. I was first introduced to HypnoBirthing when I was pregnant with my first son, Callum. Before then I had never experienced Hypnosis. Prior to the HypnoBirthing classes I was happy to go along with whatever fate dealt me on the day of the birth, I was not looking forward to the experience and, if I am honest, was a bit scared. When my husband and I started the classes our attitude to birth totally changed. We realise how important the experience is and we learned how we could do a great deal to influence the type of experience we would have. After doing HypnoBirthing we felt confident and excited about the birth, and I felt well prepared for the experience. I was actually looking forward to experiencing labour and birth.

All three of my sons have been born without the need for pain relief or drugs during labour. The labours were calm and empowering. Each birth was different but they were all amazing and wonderful and I felt fabulous about myself afterwards. I think giving birth should be a wonderful experience for all women. I never would have had the wonderful births i did without HypnoBirthing and that is why I am so passionate about teaching HypnoBirthing. I truely believe that women should be properly prepared for birth and that women should believe in their own natural ability to give birth, it is afterall , the job we were born for.
I love teaching HypnoBirthing and have taught over 300 couples since 2006.
I work in a relaxed, supportive and friendly way, and I am available to talk with for support before and during labour. I want to do whatever I can to ensure you have a good birthing experience, I want you to feel empowered, nurtured and supported.
I am well known among local midwifes and I have give talks to midwifes about Hypnobirthing at St Johns, Basildon and Broomfield Hospital. I have also given a talk at East Angila University to midwifes studing for a Msc in Midwifery. When I can I take the opportunity to speak with midwives about HypnoBirthing so that they have a good understanding and will be delighted when you tell them you are doing the course!
I believe all women can and should experience birth in a positive, safe and calm manner. I am passionate about birth, it is so important that women get the birth they want and deserve and that babies are respected and arrive in the world to love and joy. |
