Empowered, calm and connected…

Pregnancy is a time of transformation, and I’m here to support you. I remind you of your power and sovereignty, helping you feel calm and connected to yourself, baby, and your partner if you have one, as you prepare for the exciting arrival.

My approach to hypnobirthing is more than just self-hypnosis. It’s about nurturing you and your birth partner while equipping you with the knowledge and confidence to embrace your pregnancy and birth with peace and clarity.

How I can support you:

I offer both private and group hypnobirthing courses for expectant parents and birth partners, in person or online (for those further afield).

If you’d like that prenatal support to be a more thorough, holistic approach through pregnancy, and/or continue through labour and birth, I’m also a Holistic Birth Doula and can support you as an advocate and guide. My specialism is helping women and birthing people prepare to birth at home or the midwife-led birth centre. See my Doula page for more details.

If you’d prefer accessing a pre-recorded course you can also find my A Healing First Trimester course on Insight Timer.

Feel supported, informed & ready for anything…

Research shows that using hypnosis during labour can help you feel more in control and calm, making your experience smoother and more positive.

But as amazing as that sounds, hypnobirthing is so much more than that. It’s about discovering your options, understanding your body, and feeling confident in the choices you make.

It’s about embracing the power of your body’s natural hormones to create a birth experience that feels right for you and your baby.

It’s learning how to navigate maternity services, should you choose to engage with them, while trusting your intuition. 

Most importantly, it’s about increasing the chances of having a birth experience that feels empowering, positive, and aligned with your needs and wishes.


While I can’t guarantee a specific outcome (birth is wonderfully unpredictable!), I can promise that by working together, we’ll make sure you feel supported, informed, and ready for anything.

I offer both private and group hypnobirthing courses for expectant parents and birth partners, in person or online (for those further afield). I also offer a unique postnatal preparation session called ‘A Healing Fourth Trimester’. This session is available in your third trimester and beyond, to help you plan for a supportive postpartum, or after your baby arrives, to guide you through the challenges and joys of the fourth trimester.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hypnobirthing Courses

If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please do get in touch – I look forward to hearing from you.

Yes, absolutely! Hypnobirthing is for every kind of birth. While I do specialise in homebirth prep, many of the families I support choose different paths – from planned caesareans to spontaneous hospital births and everything in between. Hypnobirthing isn’t about one ‘right’ way to birth – it’s about feeling calm, informed, and empowered your way. Together, we focus on building your confidence, learning how to advocate for your preferences, and preparing for a birth that feels good to you, wherever and however it unfolds.

I get this a lot – and no, it’s honestly not! Hypnobirthing is rooted in science, and it’s all about understanding how your body and brain work together in labour. There’s no pendulum swinging or barking like a dog while everyone watches and laughs – I promise! What we do get stuck into is the power of breathing techniques, mindset tools, understanding your hormones, and how to stay relaxed and in control. It’s surprisingly practical and down-to-earth, and most people are amazed by how much it helps, even the most sceptical of birth partners (like mine!).

You’re not alone – it’s really normal, and common, to feel that way. So many of the parents I work with start their journey with a mix of nerves, fear, or past experiences that didn’t feel great. Hearing stories from people who didn’t have a great experience, can have a negative impact on you too. (Which is why I recommend avoiding too many of those!) Hypnobirthing gives you the tools to unpack some of that fear, reframe it gently, and build a sense of trust in yourself and your body. You don’t have to ‘feel zen’ all the time – we just work on creating a toolkit that helps you feel safe, prepared, and supported.

Whenever feels right for you! Some people start as early as 16–20 weeks, others later in the third trimester. The earlier you start, the more time you have to practice the tools – but it’s never too late. I’ve had clients do just a few sessions at 38 weeks and still feel calm and confident walking into their births. If you’re not sure when’s right for you, or what you need, I’m always happy to have a chat over the telephone with you, and your birth partner too if that’s helpful. My courses and sessions are tailored to what you need, which is why I love working with individual couples, and if you feel you need more prep or a pep talk before an appointment or in the run up to the birth, we can do that too.

    • “I’m so glad I signed up”

      I’m so glad I signed up for your pregnancy retreat. It was the start of many ways in which you’ve helped all 3 of us as we’ve become a family and that means more than I can put into words.

    • “I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her”

      I will always remember the support she gave me at such a vulnerable time in my life. I faced many challenges towards the end of my pregnancy and at one point it felt like I wouldn’t be able to have the birth I wanted. However Rosaleen helped me be able to make informed decisions and in the end I had the dream birth I wanted.

    • “Very informative, providing plenty of practical tools”

      I felt more prepared with tools to help me at different stages of my labour and my husband knew how to get involved – advocating for me and helping me to relax as much as possible.
      I would absolutely recommend Rosaleen and the course.
