Hello everyone, sorry I've not posted for a while - what can I say, I've just returned from a fantastic skiing trip! While I've been away my recent hypnobirthing interview has been posted on the main web site.  In it I talk about how I came to hypnobirthing, the experiences of ...

HypnoBirthing Weekend

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

A lovely weekend with two great HypnoBirthing groups. It's quite interesting the looks you get when you go out to lunch with seven pregnant women!I always learn when I teach a HypnoBirthing class, because people ask such interesting questions. It's fascinating to find out that there is always ...

The Business of Being Born

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Went to see the film, The Business of Being Born last night and, though very interesting, you felt it was to some extent more relevant to America than to this country. The main reservation I had was the emphasis on pain and, as a HypnoBirthing teacher, I know that ...

Midwives Training Day

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

I had a great day yesterday. I had been asked to speak about HypnoBirthing at the student midwives' theme day at Bournemouth University. I was warmly welcomed, and the organisation was excellent. There were so many good speakers to listen to, and it was wonderful to have ...

HypnoBirthing on Channel 4

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Yesterday it was The Mail on Sunday. Today it's Channel 4. Had a long and interesting conversation about a documentary on preparation for birth that will include hypnobirthing. There's so much interest in hypnobirthing, and it's growing so fast which is really encouraging. Word of mouth ...

I'm spending today preparing a talk for student midwives at Bournemouth University. On Wednesday I shall be talking to 200 student midwives about hypnobirthing which is a really great opportunity and I'm delighted to have been asked to do it. The only problem is that there's so much ...

Natural Birth

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I had a rather puzzling birth report from a mother who did my HypnoBirthing course recently. She had a wonderful and inspiring birth, calm, gentle and drug free - except for the fact that she took two paracetamol. Now I've never heard of anyone taking paracetamol in labour ...

HypnoBirthing bookings

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

I'm busy preparing for the HypnoBirthing course in Teddington today, made slightly more complicated by the new on-line booking system. It's working very well now, and it means that people can register for a course on line and pay by credit card, BUT there's one small hiccup. At ...

HypnoBirthing Celebration

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

This weekend I'm not teaching HypnoBirthing - yes, really! Today's a very important day. It's a celebration of the arrival of my hypnobirthing grandson last October. Family and friends are gathering for a picnic. The sun's shining, and I'm looking forward to a wonderful day. ...
