Welcome to

calm birth community

Dear Soon-to-Be Parent,
Congratulations on the journey ahead!

Planning for your baby's birth is an exciting time filled with mixed emotions.

It's normal to feel a combination of excitement and a bit of apprehension.

Giving birth to your baby will be the most important day of your life, so isn't it worth preparing for?!

Have you heard about the benefits of hypnobirth?.........

Are you ready for a birth that feels calm yet powerful?

Hypnobirthing helps you tap into your inner strength so you can welcome your baby with confidence and excitement.

You learn simple ways to relax your body and quiet your mind, making birth feel calm and in control.

You'll learn how your body works in pregnancy, labour and birth.

How to create an anchor that will ground you and bring feelings of calm.

The importance of hormones and how the mind works.

The crucial role your birth partner has and how they prepare for birth with you.

How to prepare for the best start in life with your baby.


Whether it’s your 1st pregnancy or you’re experienced, complex pregnancy or all going smoothly. Hypnobirthing can benefit everyone and every type of birth.

I run all the hypnobirth sessions personally, I'm an experienced midwife so I know a lot about birth and how to support family's through pregnancy, birth and beyond.

I've experienced the difference hypnobirthing makes to people preparing for birth, in labour, giving birth and parenthood; which is why I learned how to teach.

At Calm Birth Community, we're here to ensure you feel prepared and supported every step of the way.

We offer one to one sessions in person and online plus occasional group classes

Please message if you’d like to discuss how we can tailor our support to your needs.

Positive Caesarean Workshop
£90.00

A planned caesarean may be recommended for several reasons—a low-lying placenta, your baby's position, or underlying health conditions that make it the safer option for you and your baby.

If this is your situation, it's natural to feel a mix of emotions, especially if you'd imagined a different birth. You might feel disappointed or uncertain about the experience you'd hoped for.

A Positive Caesarean Birth Is Possible

This private workshop will help shift that perspective. Together, we'll focus on creating a caesarean birth that feels positive, empowering, and uniquely yours.

I'll guide you through your options, show you how to prepare, and help you write a birth plan that reflects your preferences. You'll have space to ask questions throughout, so you can make informed, evidence-based decisions with confidence.

By the end of this session, you'll feel:

  • Clear about what to expect

  • Confident in your choices

  • Ready to embrace your caesarean birth with calm
