If you're feeling scared and clueless about birth or parenthood let me give you a hand.
I can help you prepare for birth with practical, evidence based knowledge on one of my hypnobirthing courses,
relax and re-balance with individual reflexology treatments, effectively plan for your postnatal period
and I can be there while you establish yourself as a new family with in person postnatal doula support.

Way of the Koi Hypnobirthing Courses
Hypnobirthing isn’t new, in fact the techniques enable you to tap in to something that is as old as time itself: our natural ability to give birth. Birth is a normal, healthy physiological process that women are built for, how else has human kind survived for millennia? In order for physiological birth to occur an exquisite interplay of hormones, emotions and physiologic changes need to occur. Unfortunately, society has managed to disrupt this by pathologizing birth.
The Way of the Koi Hypnobirthing course gives you the confidence to negotiate confidently with maternity services and work in partnership with your care givers to create the optimal birth environment. It equips you with lots of resources, simple self-hypnosis and deep relaxation techniques for maintaining your natural birth state-of-mind; it often surprises people just how practical and simple it is! All course materials including an editable workbook, MP3 downloads and ongoing virtual support from me are included in the cost of these courses.

Postnatal Planning Course
This course is a little like creating a birth plan but for your postnatal period rather than birth. It's a 2 hour private session to discuss what you might like or need during the postnatal period.
Together we will cover self care and recovery, nutrition, what to expect from your baby and your body and what support you might need to help you get set up as a new family.
We will create your postnatal plan developed by postnatal doula Sarah Tessier with all the course support materials, recipe suggestions, a postnatal birth plan template and a support pack of local parenting supporters included.
This workshop is available on zoom or in person if you book me to be your postnatal doula.

Reflexology
Many women are now choosing to have reflexology throughout their pregnancy and beyond as it can offer many benefits including relaxation, reducing anxiety, generally de-stressing, improving sleep and even helping to start labour. However you view reflexology there is no doubt that it provides a period of time where you have one to one attention, relaxation and supportive touch in an understanding and non-judgemental environment. This can help build confidence and give you the time to leave your worries behind.
£55 per hour session
