Private 1:1 Hypnobirthing
Birth can bring all sorts of feelings: excitement, anticipation, nerves, and even a little fear. Whatever you are feeling, you don't have to navigate it all on your own.
I'm Heather, and I help expectant parents to feel calm, informed and ready for what's ahead, however their birth unfolds.
Whether you're feeling nervous, excited or somewhere in between, you don't have to simply hope for the best.
Do you want to feel calm, informed and prepared for birth?
Is this you?
Have a read below, and see if either sounds like you.
Been through it once already?
Your first birth wasn't what you hoped for. Maybe it was frightening, or maybe it just went nothing like anyone told you to expect. You're carrying that into this pregnancy, even if you don't say so out loud.
First time and terrified?
You've read the books and joined the groups, and you still don't feel ready. Everyone has an opinion, everyone has a scary story. Underneath it all, you just want to feel like you'll cope.
And if you're not especially anxious, just curious and want to walk in informed... you are welcome here too.
Why me?
I didn't come to this work by a straight line.
For years I worked as a health visitor, sitting with new mums in those earliest, most tender weeks after birth.
Time and time again, I saw how a woman's experience of birth could stay with her. I saw women who were overwhelmed, exhausted and sometimes unprepared for the huge transition into motherhood.
Their love for their babies was there, and so were their instincts to care for them. But when the birth had been frightening or difficult, it could be harder to feel confident in themselves as they found their way through those first weeks.
That stayed with me.
I wanted women to have the opportunity to feel more prepared, more informed and more confident as they approached birth and the transition into becoming a mum.
So I trained as a hypnotherapist, then went further and specialised in hypnobirthing. I built my business around everything I'd learned from watching real families, not from a textbook.
I've had three children of my own, rebuilt a career in nursing later in life, and been through more change than I ever expected.
I know what it feels like to walk into something unknown and come out the other side steadier than before.
That's what I want for you too.
What changes
Not perfect. Just steadier.
Calm instead of braced
Informed, not swept along by someone else's plan
Empowered, because it's your body and your baby
The keeper of the cave
A birth partner’s role is so so important.
Yet so often partners feel unsure of what to do, or how best to help. Wanting to be there, but not quite knowing where to start.
I call this role the keeper of the cave. Just like any mammal giving birth, mum needs to feel safe, calm and undisturbed.
Your job isn’t to fix anything. It’s to protect that space, so she can relax and let her body do what it already knows.
I’ll show you exactly how.
What it looks like
You'll also have your own workbook, relaxation recordings and goodie bag, so you can keep practising in between our sessions.
Every course happens just for you and your birth partner. No groups, no rushing.
Either in your own home if you're local to East Lothian, or over Zoom if that's easier. Just time to understand what's ahead, and practise the tools until they're properly yours.
What parents say
A few words from families I have worked with
Holly
Heather helped prepare me for the birth of my baby boy with her gentle, kind and warm hypnobirthing techniques. She even shared lovely relaxation recordings for my four year old, adapting to the change too. Highly recommend.
Jill
I really looked forward to the course every week. It was the perfect mix, understanding what our bodies go through, and tools to help me feel calm. Heather is so supportive and kind.
I got the VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) I had dreamed of. I felt powerful, informed and calm throughout, even when plans changed. Heather gave me the knowledge, confidence and tools to have the positive birth I deserved.
