I’m Sophie, 31 years old, from Norwich. I’m a busy Mum of 2 boys, Elliott 6 and Jasper 3.

In my 1st pregnancy, I was told about Hypnobirthing and I instantly thought it was for women that wanted Home Births, no pain relief and honestly, hippies! (Let’s be honest, the name isn’t great is it?) I knew I wanted to be in hospital and be open to pain relief so I decided against Hypnobirthing (kicking myself now!!)

I ended up experienced a very traumatic and disappointing birth, I felt so out of control and incredibly vulnerable. I had no clue what to expect in labour, had no idea about my options and choices and as a result, I felt like I had failed. Those feelings stuck with me for a long time.

So when I became pregnant in 2021 with my 2nd, I knew I couldn’t go through the same experience as before.

This is when I found Hypnobirthing. It changed absolutely everything. From initially thinking it was a bit ‘hippy’ and a bit ‘out there’ to completing the course feeling so confident, knowledgable and excited to go through the birth experience again, but in a completely different yet positive way.

I had the most rewarding and powerful birth with Jasper. I have never been so proud of myself and it was the best feeling in the world. These feelings continued into my postpartum months and really helped with my mental health as a second time Mum.

Fast forward into 2023, I had the opportunity to train as a Hypnobirthing Teacher with the incredible Love Your Birth Training School. I qualified in October 23’ and it has been the most amazing journey, supporting couples in such a special time in their lives.

I am incredibly passionate about women experiencing birth in a transformational and positive way.

I am very proud to have WON 2 incredible Awards in my 1st Year of becoming a Hypnobirthing Teacher - so I can assure you, you are in good hands with me!
