Following the birth of my own children I realised that childbirth is an important part of life for women and their families which can be hugely empowering but often, instead, traumatic.

 

Initially I prepared as a Doula with Adela Stockton, now of Mindful Doulas, in 2007 before going on to train in HypnoBirthing, the Marie Mongan Method, in 2011.  Mothers in labour were wishing to use essential oils and other complementary therapies so I decided I needed to become qualified in other therapies to be able to add them to my toolkit.

 

Aromatherapy was taught with massage on the Complementary Course I did at my local college, along with Reflexology and Indian Head Massage, meaning I discovered bodywork! Wow!

 

However, I knew that I would not last long in this line of work if I did not protect myself. So I signed up for my first NO HANDS Massage course and never looked back.

 

2014 saw me begin to teach The Wise Hippo Birthing programme which uses hypnosis techniques. There are many birthing programme that use hypnosis that are collectively labelled Hypnobirthing. The Wise Hippo has a unique approach as there is no focus on one specific way of birthing with one specific outcome. Instead the focus is on achieving the right birth on the day.

​

Before the pandemic in 2020 I had to retire from doula work due to family commitments. 

 

During the summer of 2020 when everything stopped I was able to train as a Quantum Energy Coaching practitioner. Since then I have continued to attend further learning with QEC to deepen my knowledge and skills. As the certificated learning within QEC is experiential I have been able to process my limiting beliefs and uncover trauma I had previously locked away. I can proudly state that I know from experience the power and effectiveness of QEC in transforming lives. 

 

With a wide range of interests including pets, an eclectic taste in music, a love of driving and an interest in creative arts I provide non-judgemental and unconditional support to all those I work with.
