Hello…I’m delighted to introduce myself to you all!
I’m Tish from a small rural village called Greencastle in the heart of the beautiful Sperrin Mountains in Co. Tyrone, North of Ireland. I am totally blessed to be the mother of five mighty children, 4 boys and 1 girl…Myles (13), Michael (11), John James (10), Anna Mae (9) and Francis (7). I’m even more blessed to be married to the most amazing man, Damien. We’re married now almost 16 years and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better husband and father to my five babies. We are a deadly team, and I am truly grateful, each-and-every day, for the family and home we have made.
I have always had a very keen interest in helping others and loved being around babies and children. However rather than follow my heart I decided to follow my friends down the business and admin route, with a lot of craic along the way. I don’t regret any of it as I made some great memories and met some very good people along with gaining other useful skills.
Since becoming a Mum, my longing to pursue a career around babies increased but I just always seemed to find an excuse in the midst of the chaos of family life and the juggle of 5 babies under six. Caring for my late Mum confirmed my desire to work in a caring capacity. So, Hypnobirthing came to mind and the more I thought about the more it appealed to me.
I loved everything about The Calm Birth School and when I made contact with Liz I just knew I wanted to train with her. After five very different births, with no hypnobirthing practice, but still beautiful experiences I was excited to learn how the mind and body are connected and The Calm Birth School didn’t disappoint.
I felt so empowered after all my births and coming from a family of 3 girls and a series of strong woman before me I have always felt a need to advocate for woman. Now with my training complete I am so eager to pass on my new-found knowledge and share my own past birth experiences with other mums-to-be. I want to empower them and allow them to find their confidence in their bodies ability to birth with positivity. I want to make Hypnobirthing accessible to everyone because every birth should be a positive one, no-one said it would be easy, but we can do tough things! We were made for this! I am so looking forward to meeting you all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
