Accessible, relatable hypnobirthing. The Gateway to positive birth.

Biography

Hi I’m Jo. A qualified and experienced NCT instructor and now delivering 1-1 and group Hypnobirthing courses across the North East of England with the amazing Calm Birth School.

I’m a mother of three wild ones.

I am passionate about antenatal education as a way to empower couples not just to have a positive birth experience but a positive experience of parenting as a whole. All my courses cover pregnancy and birth but also early parenting, bonding with baby, how to step into motherhood and retain your identity and maintain your relationship as you become a family.

I deliver courses in an interactive, relaxed and fun (I promise!) way so it’s easy to learn and explore and find out more about the issues and topics which are important to you. To balance out all the new information there will be plenty of time to relax in every session with massage tips, Hypnobirthing scripts, relaxation techniques, breathing and comfortable labour positions covered throughout the course.

Biography

Hello! My name is Shona, founder of Empowered Hypnobirthing. I am mummy to one
gorgeous little girl and all round lover of pregnancy, birth and babies!

I came across Hypnobirthing when I was about 25 weeks pregnant. I was determined to not have the horror story birth everyone had told me I would, so I took matters into my own hands and began to do my research.

My husband and I completed an intensive weekend course when I was about 30 weeks and I fell in love with Hypnobirthing. I practiced everyday and it completely paid off when I had the most wonderful (induced) water birth. The first words I said afterwards were ‘I could do that again!’

I decided to begin teaching as I believe every women has the right to a wonderful birth experience. No matter what their situation, first baby or fifth, every one deserves to feel strong, empowered and confident about the birth of their baby.

I’m so passionate about supporting, guiding and helping women and their partners through one of the most special times of their life. The most rewarding part of the job is seeing a compete transformation in each and every couple and they move from nervous, anxious and worried, to confident, knowledgeable and excited!

I continue to support throughout pregnancy, birth and parenthood, providing support and honest, relatable advice. These women are absolute warriors and I am there every step of the way reminding them that they are!

Biography

My name is Teresa and I’m excited to announce that I am now part of the SONA Mum Team alongside Jade and Georgina!

A year ago my husband and I took part in the SONA Mum hypnobirthing classes in Stonehaven and the techniques and relaxation we learned helped us greatly during the birth of our daughter Cora. Our little girl is now just over five months old and has been a little whirlwind of change to our lives!

Having used hypnobirthing during labour I became inspired of teaching myself so that I can help other expectant mums to have a more positive birth experience, too.

I am doing additional training in mindful breastfeeding to offer antenatal breastfeeding advice and postnatal support. Further I am going to offer additional sessions on baby loss and fear release as that is another topic I am very passionate about and which I feel is often overlooked as nobody speaks about it.

Birth is such a miraculous, amazing thing and to be sharing somebody’s pregnancy and birth journey and hopefully offer advice, positivity and confidence is a wonderful thing to do for a living!

My family and I live in South Aberdeenshire and after my maternity leave I will be covering classes in Stonehaven and Montrose. Clients will also be able to book One-to-One sessions with me in South Aberdeenshire and Angus.

I look forward to chatting to you and meeting you and of course I am very excited to be part of your pregnancy and birth journeys!

All the very best
Teresa x

Biography

A nurse by trade, I have always had an interest in the workings of the human body. But it wasn’t until I had my first daughter that I discovered hypnobirthing. Eager to prove to myself that it is possible to have a empowered positive birth I began looking for ways to achieve this and what a door it has opened. Following the birth of my second daughter I found the calling to help others have the same amazing and positive experiences I had had and embarked on my hypnobirthing instructor training.

Taking a careers break from the Royal Air Force, where I am a practice nurse, I have followed my husband to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus where I hope to share the amazing journey that is hypnobirthing to couples, preparing them to have the calm, positive and fear free birth they desire and deserve.

When not working, I enjoy being in the garden, horse riding and instructing, walking and playing with my girls.
