Join other local expectant parents on Shelley's Hypnobirthing group antenatal course
After a traumatic first birth, I enveloped myself in Hypnobirthing for baby number two and had an out of this world positive birth. My midwife said "you should teach it" and that little voice never went away. So here I am, a qualified Hypnobirthing coach, teaching the Little Birth Company program to birthing parents across Dorset and The New Forest.
I am passionate about first time mums having a positive birth as well as, second, third, fourth or more time mums, turning round past experiences that may have been traumatic, negative or full of the unknown into a positive birth experience for them and their birth partners.
