Babies in Waiting is a family run company offering HypnoBirthing® and Baby Massage classes in Essex

I have been a practising Homeopath for many years. During this time I have supported many women with physical and emotional problems, which have occurred as a result of traumatic births. This led me to question birthing in our society. A beautiful natural event should not be hindered unnecessarily. As a mother of four children, all of which were born naturally I feel very passionate about natural birth. I decided to train as a HypnoBirthing® practitioner and have helped many couples have a positive birthing experience over the last five years.

I strongly believe that it is every woman’s right to have a calm, relaxed birth. Mothers can now regain control of their births through the education and guidance that HypnoBirthing® offers. In addition, to complement the HypnoBirthing® I trained as a Baby Massage teacher. This unique course supports HypnoBirthing® as it teaches new Mums how to comfort and bond with their babies. It is extremely rewarding to support new Mums while they gain the confidence to trust their own natural ability.

I am Josephine’s eldest daughter and over the years I have always been fascinated by all of the amazing birthing stories told by the Mothers that have taken the HypnoBirthing® course. I was working as a Secondary school English teacher when I was thrilled to discover that I was pregnant. I knew straightaway that I wanted to take the HypnoBirthing® course. I wanted to find out how to have an easier, more comfortable birth! In September 2009, after 17 ½ hours in labour Zachary was born completely naturally at home. He weighed 10.6 lbs, I knew that the peaceful way in which he was born was all thanks to the skills I learnt during the HypnoBirthing® course. It sparked my interest in the power of the mind and so I trained as a Hypnotherapist and HypnoBirthing® practitioner. It is great to be able to help others also have positive, natural birthing experiences.
