• Hypnobirthing IrelandSeptember 15, 2011
  In August I was invited to go to Ireland to teach a Hypnobirthing Teacher Training Course.  Since I was last in Dublin there is a shiny new Terminal 2 at the airport, which appeared to have left Terminal 1 with very little traffic, but maybe I arrived at a quiet time of [...]

  Katharine was delighted to be invited to speak at the Royal Society of Medicine Hypnobirthing Conference in February. The feedback from the conference gave a remarkable endorsement of her knowledge of hypnobirthing and her ability to present the method. Her presentation was highly rated as the most useful of the conference.  Well over 80% of [...]

• Hypnobirthing in KuwaitMay 17, 2011
  I have just got back from a fascinating trip to Kuwait teaching Hypnobirthing to a group of very forward thinking ladies.  Whilst Hypnobirthing is becoming more and more mainstream in this country in Kuwait it really is in its infancy. I was very honoured to be invited to spend a number of days teaching there and [...]

• Royal Society of Medicine Hypnobirthing ConferenceFebruary 23, 2011
  Spent yesterday at the royal society of Medicine Hypnobirthing Conference.  The lecture theatre was packed, and it was a great honour to be asked to speak at it.  My topic was The Role of the Father in Hypnobirthing.  A fascinating day, and I learnt a great deal from the other speakers. Hypnobirthing really has arrived.

• HypnoBirthing is being embraced by the establishment!February 11, 2011
  HypnoBirthing is causing waves in the world of obstetrics.  For a long time mothers have been referred to my HypnoBirthing class by midwives and obstetricians, as well as by recommendation from people who have done the class themselves.  When a midwife is present at her first HypnoBirthing birth her comment is often, ‘I couldn’t believe [...]

• Undisturbed BirthJanuary 19, 2011
  A word I am seeing more in circulation at the moment is ‘Undisturbed birth’. It is an interesting concept and fits in well with what we teach at the Hypnobirthing Centre. No matter where you give birth we strongly recommend that you are allowed to progress in a natural way with as little outside intervention [...]

• HypnoBirthing for the Chelsea and Westminster HospitalNovember 6, 2010
  Today is my second class for mothers from the Kensginton Wing of the Chelsea and Westmisnter Hospital.  I was over the moon when I was asked to do these classes, and I’m really looking forward to it.  Add to that my hypnobirthing classes at St Thomas’ Hospital and it’s good to see HypnoBirthing acknowledged in [...]

• Fathers doing Hypnobirthing!November 5, 2010
  I often find the occasional Father being a bit sceptical about hypnobirthing, a typical scenario is a reluctant participant on Day 1, and then he is so impressed he moves heaven and earth to come to Day 2 when he hadn’t planned to. I’ve had people change work schedules, suddenly find they can get an [...]
