“Giving birth should be your greatest achievement, not your greatest fear”.

— Jane Weideman.

Hypnobirthing

I have been very fortunate to have trained with KG Hypnobirthing and with Hypnotherapist Sharon Mustard, in Hypnotherapy for preparation for childbirth. I am also an experienced hypnotherapist and for many years I have enjoyed working with mothers and birth partners, who are preparing for the birth of their babies.


I am very joyful to be involved in such an amazing and miraculous field of work and feel privileged to work with women to prepare for the birth of their babies.


You and your baby are special. Childbirth can be an empowering and positive event in your life – and one you want to remember. With the help of hypnobirthing, the birth of your baby can be a more comfortable, calm, natural and rewarding experience, where you are in control, needing less intervention from others.

How Hypnobirthing Works

Hypnobirthing teaches the importance of how the mind and body work in relation to birth and techniques to enable you to be calm, positive and in control, to allow the best birth experience possible, whether you are giving birth at home, in a birthing unit, hospital or theatre.


  • Work with your body to achieve a calm, comfortable birth
  • Release fear for an easier labour, allowing the body to do what it is naturally designed to do
  • Have the knowledge about the birth process that helps you prepare and gives you control
  • Be informed to make the best choices for you and your baby
  • Feel empowered and excited about the birth of your baby


Hypnobirthing takes practice, work and time and this together with support releases fear and builds confidence to give the best preparation for birth.

Look Forward to the birth of your Baby

The Secret to having a positive birth experience in the modern environment are:


  • To reconnect with your natural birthing instinct.
  • Understand how your body works and allow yourself to trust that your body is perfectly designed to birth your baby.
  • To prepare yourself to mentally hand control over to the primal part of your body.
  • To learn techniques to help you keep your levels of fear and anxiety to a minimum and to enable you to feel in control.

Benefits of Hypnobirthing

Hypnobirthing uses a combination of hypnosis, self-hypnosis, positive visualization, breathing techniques and the use of special MP3’s to use in-between sessions.


Hypnotherapy can help: Encourage deep relaxation • Lower anxiety and blood pressure • Balance emotions and raise mood

• Aid deeper and more restful sleep • Increase energy levels


Learning to relax deeply and practising these techniques promotes the hormones that help you to follow your own intuition, tune into your body and have a comfortable birth.

Women practicing these skills may notice many benefits including shorter labour, less pain and increased feelings of calmness.


Let go of any fears or worries in a gentle and supported way. In addition, beautiful visualisations are used to focus on all the positives, enhancing the connection with your baby, whilst enabling you to be calm and in control. If you would like to have some support and help at this special time, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Hypnobirthing testimonials

Hypnobirthing - The Birth of Ethan Lance, at 8lb and 2oz!

Following the traumatic birth of our son 5 years ago both my husband and I were extremely scared. I adore being a Mum and never thought I would stop at one child. Therefore, it was a massive decision to decide to have another child. I had heard about hypnobirthing from a friend and thought it was worth a try. The hypnobirthing left me feeling positive about my pregnancy. I found myself feeling anxious so religiously listened to the hypnobirthing tracks Nikki provided for me. Hypnobirthing gave me to tools to remain calm between contractions and this contributed to me having such a quick labour. Hypnobirthing helped me immensely through the early stages of labour and throughout my pregnancy. I really would recommend it. Thank you Nikki!

Hypnotherapy - Preparation for Pregnancy

‘I visited Nikki in the weeks leading up to giving birth to my daughter and found Hypnotherapy and reflexology tremendously helpful and calming. Nikki was really supportive throughout my pregnancy and I believe her treatments were fundamental in having a calm labour!

Tina, Gillingham

Hypnobirthing

“I chose to try hypnobirthing because my first birth left me fearful and worried. Having weekly hypnobirthing sessions with Nikki was the best preparation I could have done for the birth of my daughter. Hypnobirthing changed the way I felt and thought about birthing. I had a better understanding of what was happening to my body physically and how a positive mental attitude could help make birthing an empowering experience. Thanks to a calm and focused mindset, my birth was exactly what I wanted it to be even though things didn’t go ‘according to my original plan’. An induction was my biggest fear. So when I was told that I needed one, it was the hypnobirthing techniques that Nikki taught me which made the two-day wait in the hospital easier to deal with. In the birthing room I willed each contraction knowing I had the breathing techniques to cope with each of them. In the moments of delivery the midwife said I was really controlled. I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect birth. Nikki’s hypnobirthing sessions played a major role in making the birth of our daughter the best experience of my life. I would highly recommend Nikki as a hypnotherapist.”
