Biography
Hello I’m Beth – mum of two and passionate hypnobirthing and meditation teacher. I was fortunate to discover hypnobirthing in my first pregnancy. Had I been left to my own devices in preparing for birth, I would have spent my whole pregnancy worrying and thinking about every scenario that could have possibly gone wrong. But the hypnobirthing literally flicked a switch for me. As someone who suffered with anxiety it was SO liberating to go into labour feeling full of confidence and believing deep down that I could do this incredible thing. And I did.
After my positive birth experiences I would literally stop pregnant women in the street saying “you have to look into this thing’. I convinced all my friends to do it and when their babes were born I realised I needed to start teaching.
I love working with private clients and small groups as my classes are very informal and sharing. I work from my heart and am nothing but real and honest with all my clients.
Whilst birth is the most mind-blowing process ever (ever ever), my true passion lays with the woman. Helping women to release their fears, build confidence and develop a deep and supportive connection to their emotions as they travel their unique (and sometimes bumpy) journey to motherhood.
My support for women extends beyond birth offering free meet-ups and regular Mumma Unwind Sessions, which help to re-connect women back to themselves through meditation.
I’m all about female power. I think women are awesome – we grow babes inside of us!! I recognise that birth is massive and while motherhood is amazing it can be bloody hard. Which is why I love building a non-judgemental sisterhood of support and helping women to stay connected to their unique brilliance as they grow (physically and emotionally).

Biography
Hello! I am Avril Carr. I am 37, Irish and have been living in Abu Dhabi for 8 years. I am a woman, wife to Michael and mother to Cara Bella. I am an English teacher and am very excited to offer hypnobirthing classes to the women (and men) of Al Ain, UAE. I have a Degree in English, Sociology and Politics, a Masters Degree in Gender, Globalisation and Human Rights and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education. I also have a terrible fear of balloons!
I am a passionate advocate for hypnobirthing because it is rooted in science, hormones and biology. It is a common-sense way to birth that allows a woman’s body and mind connection to be strengthened. When we know how birth works then we can engage in practices that help the process, making it calm, peaceful and enjoyable! Hypnobirthing aims to dispel the common misconceptions of birth. We are told that birth is unsafe and something to dread. Hypnobirthing changes all that by instilling peace and positivity to the woman. She brings calmness to her birth and beyond.
It took us 4 years and 6 rounds of IVF to meet our baby. During this time, I came to appreciate what women have to go through to arrive at their babies. The fears, pain and disappointments are untold. Having gone through my own experience, a love of birth and eliminating the fear attached to it has emerged. My own experience of infertility makes me an understanding ear to any other woman who is going through the same or similar experiences. I am open and willing to help any woman who is in the same position. Please reach out. I am committed to guiding women to have peaceful, calm, gentle and empowered births. I am deeply committed to helping women tap into their strength within. When I am not with my daughter, teaching English or facilitating hypnobirthing classes, I am resting! 1 year olds are no joke! I look forward to welcoming you to one of my hypnobirthing classes soon!

Biography
Hi! I’m Reena – a Mum to two beautiful girls aged 4 and 1. My passion for Hypnobirthing stems from the two wonderful Hypnobirths I experienced when I had my girls. After this, I felt I could no longer withhold my passion for Hypnobirthing and I decided to train to become an Instructor. I want every woman to feel as confident, positive and empowered as I did when I was due to give birth. It’s every woman’s right to feel that way!
I really want to spread the word about Hypnobirthing and help couples achieve a positive birth experience regardless of and challenges they may face along the way.
Hypnobirthing helped both my husband and I immensely. I have a low pain threshold and my husband would feel queasy hearing about anything medical. If we went to an antenatal appointment or an appointment at the fertility clinic he would have to leave the room after 5 minutes.
He even said that he wasn’t sure whether he would be there for the birth, so as you can imagine I was terrified thinking that I would be doing this on my own!
But Hypnobirthing changed his mindset as well as mine. I believe it’s because it’s not so medicalised and when you learn about how your body and brain work it just makes sense.
I’m so happy that I get to share my knowledge and passion for Hypnobirthing to help couples in their pregnancy and birth journey!
