Biography
Hi, I’m Heather, Melbournian, The Calm Birth Coach, Research Nurse, wife and mother of two wild babes.
Rewind 6 years and as a newly married couple, we packed up our lives in London and set out for a honeymoon adventure which consisted of six stress-free months of travelling around SE Asia before landing on my cousin’s doorstep in Melbourne, Australia. She was horrified to see two weathered travellers knocking on her doorstep in shorts and t-shirts in June, the middle of Australia’s winter – we were clearly from the Northern Hemisphere as we had not registered the season swap. We quickly set up camp in our new home and I started a new career path in research nursing which I love.
With a passion for running and hiking, Australia appeared to have it all and we were definitely at home here. Then, my dream for having children kicked in. We had trouble conceiving but were finally blessed with our daughter Lucy who we call our ‘miracle babe’ as I was told it was a false positive pregnancy and we would probably lose her. However, her strength shone through from an early age and she is now 4 and full of sass! Our second babe Alex set us many challenges with minor health issues but is getting stronger each day and overall is a chilled and happy little chap!
Both my pregnancies and birth experiences enhanced my desire to become a hypnobirthing instructor. My labour with Lucy didn’t really go as I’d expected. I thought that as I was super strong and fit, I could just pop her out after a couple of Panadol and a few pushes…how wrong I was! My body went into fight or flight mode and it ended up being an extremely challenging experience both mentally and physically.
I knew I didn’t want a repeat of this experience for my second birth and a great friend suggested hypnobirthing. I bought The Calm Birth School audio book and listened to it religiously when travelling to work and when exercising, repeating my affirmations and visualizing my calm positive birth. I wanted my body and mind to connect this time and not separate. Alex’s birth was such a different experience – it was still challenging but the hypnobirthing techniques were incredible and I drew so much strength from what I had learned.
This has stirred up a passion in me to help other women achieve their desired birth and to show how labour can be positive and rewarding for mother and babe. My study with The Calm Birth School has opened me up to a much calmer way of life not just in birthing, but everyday life. It has shown me the importance and benefits of breathing, positive psychology and what an incredible tool visualization can be.
I can’t wait to share this with you!

Hi I’m Sarah, I’ve been a birth and postnatal doula since 2009 and have supported many families on their pregnancy and birth journeys. Having seen first-hand the amazing power of hypnobirthing I decided to become a teacher myself and chose the Calm Birth School to train with and I flipping LOVE it!!
I am a huge advocate of choice in birth, I want all my clients to feel informed and educated about their bodies, the birth process and their decision making so that they can have the most positive experience possible. I’m not promising pain-free orgasmic birth experiences to all women (although they do exist, honestly!!) What I am offering, is the ability to tap into something that’s actually already at your fingertips-the ability to instinctively birth your baby, as women have been doing for thousands of years. I want to help you to peel away the fear surrounding birth, the lack of trust in our bodies and the mental blocks modern society has placed in front of us.
Don’t be scared-be POWERFUL.
Follow me on Facebook and Instagram or check out my website to find out about learning the tools of hypnobirthing with me, you can either learn privately in your own home (in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch) or in one of my small group classes held in Southbourne. I’m super friendly, super enthusiastic and love a laugh so you will find my teaching methods relaxing and fun and all the while you’ll be learning how to totally ROCK YOUR BIRTH.

Biography
Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, Ashley always had a desire to own her own business. After college she wasn’t sure what that would look like, so she stayed working in the corporate world while jotting down business ideas. One thing she was certain of knowing was she had a drive and a passion for helping others. After her own research and hypnobirthing experience with her first born, it became a no brainer that she wanted to share this practice and knowledge with others. She was lucky enough to begin teaching with a hypnobirthing company already in place and within a few months, the company was up for sale. She jumped at the opportunity and in September of 2019, Ashley became the business owner she had always hoped to be.
Ashley’s mission, as owner of Metro-Detroit Hypnobirthing and instructor, is to bring this practice to as many families as possible as well as create a safe, non-biased learning environment around pregnancy and birth that gives couples the ability and confidence to take back their power, feel safe, and secure in their choices and the birth of their little one.
Ashley is a certified placenta specialist and does the encapsulation process for Metro-Detroit Hypnobirthing. When she isn’t running the business, teaching, or processing placenta pills, she enjoys spending time with her husband Joe, son Julian, and soon to be second baby. She also enjoys outdoor activities like camping, hiking, biking, and walking nature trails. Her favourite place to be is at her family cottage in Northern Michigan on Little Bear Lake.

Biography
Hi I’m Laura, I’m a doula and hypnobirthing instructor based in Tonbridge. I work all over Kent and South London.
As a doula, I’ve been lucky enough to attend many births, with people from all walks of life, in a variety of settings. One thing I’ve noticed time and time again is that people who’ve practiced hypnobirthing during their pregnancy, birth and early parenthood have had a far more enjoyable, comfortable and empowering experience than those who didn’t – whether their birth went to “plan” or not.
That’s why I decided to become a hypnobirthing instructor; to help even more people have the birth experience they deserve.
When I had my own children my world was turned upside-down. The experience of becoming a mum completely floored me. There I was, a seemingly successful woman, in a heap on the floor, struggling to process a difficult birth, unable to understand why I couldn’t get to grips with my new identity as a Mum.
Over time, I realised it wasn’t just me: that many new parents felt just as lost as I had and were being let down by a system and society that puts parental experience at the bottom of the pile. I wanted to do my bit to try and change things, which is how I discovered birth work and I haven’t looked back since.
My goal as your doula and hypnobirthing teacher is to help you find your own path as you make your profound and unique transition to parenthood. I believe this starts from the moment you find out you’re pregnant, right up until your baby is born and beyond. I passionately believe the more informed, empowered and in control you feel about your body, your baby and your choices, the more positive, transformative and powerful your experience will be. Hypnobirthing is the tool that can unlock all of this in a way that feels right for you.
