A bit about me / my classes...
👋 I'm a enthusiastic and experienced teacher - I used Hypnobirthing to have my own 3 children and my biggest is now 11. I trained to teach it after my second birth back in 2013 so have been teaching in the birthing world now for 9 years. I am a trained secondary teacher too so teaching has always been a big part of what I do!
🤗 This year I have totally re-written my course. My new course incorporates all my experience and knowledge and is totally up to date. It is a hugely helpful guide to birthing in the NHS and will provide you with so many tools to make your birth awesome 🥳.
🏡 I teach from a gorgeous venue -
🍰 I bake for all my classes(!). I love to look after you and baking you fresh delicious cake each week is just one way of me doing this 🥰. (For zoom courses I courier it out!).
🙌 I keep my group classes small (max 6 women and their birth partner).
🥳 Starting a course any time from 20 weeks pregnant is a great idea.

Any questions, please do ask! All course booking links inc the free class are in my bio 🤗🙌.

Slipping back into the world of insta today on my birthday. I've got kinda comfy off social media over the summer and one of my birthday goals for this year is to push myself out of my comfort zone daily and see where it takes me! So here I am 😊

So far today this has seen me have my first ever Bloody Mary with my brunch and I can safely say I thought it was disgusting 😅🤣. Are any of you fans?! It felt like I was drinking cold tomato soup 🙈

Lots of exciting things coming up over the next few weeks which I'll share but for now hope you are all having a brilliant start to your September 🥳.

Hey! Have you heard about the choir and I are launching this Friday?!

I've talked about it in my stories but thought it definitely warranted it's own square!

It is absolutely open to anyone, young or old, tone deaf or amazing, bring your baby, bring your Grandad ... you get the gist!! There will be toys out for little ones and chairs for those who need to sit.

It is at the which is right next to the so cake and tea pit stop will be essential afterwards 🤣.

First session is free and then £2 subs from there.

Tell your friends! And do not worry if you plan to come on your own, you will be so welcome.

Come and spread a little joy and SING 🥳🥳🥳

I run a free class roughly every 6 weeks to act as an intro to Hypnobirthing and the next one is next Wednesday 🥳🥳

In this class I explain what Hypnobirthing is and why it is a huge game changer in prepping for birth.

I will teach you the most important tool for birth .... how to breathe during contractions.

I will teach you and your birth partner 3 wonderful massage techniques which will help you hugely in labour.

I will read you a beautiful deep relaxation to help you switch off and recharge. The perfect state to be in when you birth.

I'll answer any questions about birth you might have.

I'll encourage you to eat cake and drink tea! These classes are informal and relaxed (normally I would provide the cake but it's a bit tricky over Zoom!).

If you are expecting a baby this week or later this year you are so welcome to come.

It is free.
It is at 8pm on Wednesday 18th May.
Birth partners are invited too.

You can book via the link in my bio 😊.

Please share with any pregnant friends! 🥰

Our April theme is 'spring cleaning' and this has many elements and possibilities! Essentially we are all about decluttering and ordering this month both in our homes, our businesses and our heads and seeking greater balance in our lives as a result. Feeling overwhelmed by our lives really impacts upon our wellbeing and this is always an important focus in The Village.

We have the truly fabulous
leading on our theme. She is a treasured member of The Village and is by trade a professional organiser and is BLOODY AMAZING at it.

THURSDAY 7.30 pm over zoom is our main meeting for the month. Louise will be helping us with taking control of our time and space and focusing on how you use your home and your time.
Themes include:
- Time planning
- How you can simplify
- Room thoughts - general tips
- Wellbeing and the home
and a whole lot more!
This is powerful stuff .... a calmer life brings much needed headspace when we are juggling all our priorities.

TUESDAY 19TH on zoom. We have the brilliant leading a session on decluttering our minds and finding peace and clarity.

TUESDAY 26TH on zoom. Sally Holmes from is coming in to give us her top tips on hacks to keep your business running in the most efficient way possible and free up your time. (She is a GENIUS at this 🙌).

Welcome to another fantastic month Villagers! If you want to get involved you would be so welcome to 'try us out' by coming to one of our meetings. Just let me know!

Such HUGE congratulations to this absolute superstar second time mum 🥳🥳. She was part of my wonderful January group and came to the course wanting to create a positive experience for her second birth after a traumatic first experience.

My heart was full this morning when she messaged to announce her birth. I couldn't be more thrilled that she had a positive experience this time. So, so, sooooo happy.

I have a face to face refresher next month set up for second (or third, fourth or fifth!) time parents. It is a 'hybrid' course whereby you get an hour 1:1 with me via zoom first to debrief your first birth. Then two 2.5 hour in-person group sessions to get you up and running (waddling?!) and feeling super positive and prepared for your next birth.

WHEN ? Sat 9th & 23rd April 9 - 11.30 am.
WHERE? Broomfield, Chelmsford
INVESTMENT: £150 (Inc's zoom, face to face course, all materials, CAKE! and ongoing support).

You can book here: https://bunintheovenbirthing.co.uk/collections/book-a-course/products/group-refreshers-courses 🥳

Who had positive subsequent births? Or first births?! I'm utterly made up that we can make birth a bloody amazing experience 🙌. Do share 🤗
