I have been teaching hypnosis techniques for pregnancy & birth in Teesside and surrounding areas since 2013. I have also been working as a therapist in private practice since 2014. I was previously based at Acklam Hall and then Park View Medical Clinic and am now conducting sessions online, and occasionally in client's homes for pregnancy and birth sessions. My main areas of work are phobia & fears, unwanted habits, stress & anxiety. I also specialise in pregnancy & birth, supporting parents through the whole journey from pregnancy to birth and beyond.

I originally trained with Natal Hypnotherapy after discovering hypnobirthing for the birth of my fourth baby and being transformed by how much of a difference it made.

My Approach

​As a mother of four, I have experienced birth both with and without hypnobirthing and can see how much of a difference this can make. I discovered Hypnobirthing before I trained as a Hypnotherapist, so came into this as a big skeptic! Having had four babies of my own I know how overwhelming pregnancy, labour & birth can be. I teach my classes in a very realistic, honest and down-to-earth style. I always try to make sure everyone attending gets what they need from it. I have no set ideas of how your birth should be, or what your choices should be, I simply work with you to your own needs - providing you with the tools and support you need to make your own birth choices. If you like the sound of my approach - then this is for you!

I work in a straightforward, down-to-earth way, providing an open and honest, no-nonsense approach. I am pleased to say that clients usually tell me they felt really comfortable and at ease.
