Ever wondered if Hypnobirthing is for you?
Well this is your chance to find out.

With just over a week to go until my next masterclass, here is a sneak peek of what to expect.

This free masterclass is open to anyone who wants to understand more about hypnobirthing whether you're pregnant, planning a future pregnancy, supporting someone who is pregnant, or simply curious about how birth works.

This masterclass could be especially useful if:

💛 You have anxieties or worries about birth
💛 You've had a previous difficult or traumatic birth and want a different experience this time
💛 You want to feel more calm, confident and prepared for birth
💛 You want to understand how your body and mind work together during labour
💛 You're a birth partner and want to know how you can offer meaningful support
💛 You already know that birth can be a positive experience and you want to give yourself the best chance of experiencing that for yourself!

During the masterclass, you'll discover:

💛 The basics of the psychology and physiology of birth and why they matter
💛 Some simple but powerful hypnobirthing tools you can start using straight away
💛 A few incredible breathing techniques for labour and birth
💛 How to navigate the maternity system with greater confidence and make informed decisions about your care
💛 Why your experience of birth matters, regardless of how your baby is ultimately born
💛 How preparation can help you approach birth feeling more informed, empowered and confident
💛 You'll leave with practical tools you can use during pregnancy and birth, a better understanding of how birth works, and hopefully a renewed sense that you have more influence over your birth experience than you might think.

And the best part? It's completely free.

Your birth experience matters enormously.

But that isn't just about how soft the lighting is and whether you get to listen to the music you wanted.

It's about whether your wishes were listened to, your fears understood and whether the people around you helped you feel safe.

If you only focus on the basics in a birth plan, you will still remain receiving pretty much generic care. If you don't take ownership of your choices and experience, who else will?!

Simply printing off a birth plan template and answering the questions on it with yes/no answers, or writing 'I would prefer not to have XYZ intervention, but I will if it's absolutely necessary ', ISN'T GOING TO GET YOU THE BIRTH THATS RIGHT FOR YOU!

And I don't mean to be brash or come across rude but I need you to understand this one thing...

Preparation is key.

Preparing for birth through good quality, in depth, evidence based education is one of the most valuable things you can do before your baby is born.

Any prep is better than none. But the more you do, the more you question, the more you explore the 'what if's' and the various paths your birth could go down, the more ready you are for any curve balls that are thrown your way.

If you and your partner have taken time to learn about your options, to make choices that are right for you, have considered what birth might look like if things don't go the way you hoped and have discussed this together, who needs to write it all down on a pretty piece of paper?!

Seriously, if it helps to write it, do. But the birth plan alone isn't going to help you, it's the planning in the first place which makes the difference.

If you would like support with how to do this, reach out to me and we can discuss how I can help you.

Best Birthy Wishes,

Amy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review! 😍

This is how working with me can make you feel.

This lovely lady came to Pregnancy Relaxation and she got soooo much from it!

I always over deliver, especially in these beautiful sessions. You will go away having spent time focusing on yourself and your baby, practicing breathing techniques that you can use in labour and learning hypnobirthing tools that will support you to have the birth that's right for you.

The session is full of useful stuff yet somehow you come away feeling so very chilled.

You deserve to feel relaxed in pregnancy and to have the opportunity to focus on your body and mind and growing little one.

Pregnancy Relaxation this September is happening in Oving Village Hall on the 29th at 7.30.

There were genuinely gasps and an 'Oh my God!', as I walked out of the hospital today.

My little baby doll and I, off to my car as I will be running a clinic on Monday and need props! But it was funny to see their faces.

She does look quite comfy curled up in there I think... She even has snacks!

This is one of the things that frustrates me and breaks my heart the most when I hear it.

Because to me I hear the desire this person had to do the opposite to what they were told.

'They wouldn't let me go past 40 weeks...'
'I wasn't allowed to have a home birth...'
'I had to have an induction...'

Do any of those sound familiar?

Did you find yourself accepting interventions or not having something you had wanted because you felt you had no choice?

You almost always have choices. But if the choices aren't properly presented to you or maybe not even presented at all then you have no choices.

One option may be more risky than another. But by how much? And does the other option carry different risks?

We tend to focus on physical risk, but risk to your mental health, your experience, your dignity, your cultural values... They matter too! And you may find that the weight of one risk is heavier to you than to another person.

It's only ever up to you to decide.

There is a big difference between choosing an induction because you feel you have to, and choosing one because all the options, the risks and benefits and the alternatives have been fully discussed with you and you have had time to consider it all, and you THEN decide that it's the right option for you.

The conclusion might be the same.

You are still going to end up with an induction, but the choice was yours!

You were fully involved in your care. You were trusted to be the expert you are in your own body and baby. And your choice was respected.

Doesn't that feel different?!

I would love to hear your experiences and thoughts around this.

Imagine an hour where you don't have to do anything except slow down and breathe. 🤍

Pregnancy can be wonderful, exciting and completely consuming. There’s always something to think about, organise, Google or prepare for.

Pregnancy Relaxation is a small, intimate gathering for mums-to-be. A chance to step away from the busyness for a while and simply be.

We'll start with a cup of tea and a relaxed chat, getting to know each other and creating a lovely, welcoming space.

Then we'll gently move into some simple techniques you can use during pregnancy and birth, including breathing, relaxation and gentle ways to connect with your body.

And finally, we'll settle down for a longer guided relaxation, giving you the chance to completely switch off, quieten your mind and spend some peaceful time connecting with yourself and your baby. 🤰

No experience needed. No pressure. No expectations. Just a small group, a cosy space and some time that's completely for you.

📅 29/9/26
📍 Oving Village Hall
⏰ 7.30pm

If you've been craving a little more calm during your pregnancy, I'd love you to join us. 🤍

Spaces are limited to just 6 women

What a wonderful event our Bumps & Babies walk was! 💛

Today Birth Your Own Way & BUCKS MUMS 🤱🏻 came together to welcome pregnant women and new mums on a lovely walk in

We wanted to create an opportunity for connection, friendship and an hour or 2 to unwind in a safe space.

Finding 'your village' as a mum isn't easy and connections with other mums is a huge part of that. Motherhood can be lonely and we need to know we aren't the only one feeling that way.

We had 5 mums, a bump, 3 little babies and 3 bouncy toddlers! It was brilliant! Friendships were made all round and all the ladies went away with a little something to help them relax in their own time.

This kind of event will definitely be happening again. If you are interested contact me or Fia at BUCKS MUMS 🤱🏻 to get involved.

21/08/2026

Our Walk and Unwind event is happening tomorrow!

We hope to see you, your bump or your little ones there.

📅 22/8/26 11.30

📍M&S cafe, High street, Aylesbury. Then onto Vale Park.

Please come forward with any questions you have.

Just come along or let us know you are coming by signing up with the link in the comments.

🌬️ Let's talk about Gas & Air

Some people feel that the sensations of labour and birth are too intense or overwhelming for them at some points in their labour. And that's a very normal thing to feel.

Labour is big, it's powerful and that's because bringing new life into the world is a huge and transformative thing to do. So the feelings match that, even if you wouldn't describe the feelings as painful, although many do.

So pain relief and comfort measures can be helpful. And it's good to know your options!

Gas and air, medically often known as Entonox, is a great way to manage labour sensations.

As I say in the video it has pros and cons. But it's a great thing to try. Sometimes it can make us feel pretty out of it and verbalising your needs can be hard for some people, like the lady in my story!

Although it was a little funny in hindsight, we always need to be aware of the pennyroyal eats they pain relief can hinder us.

I'd love to hear about your experiences with gas and air! Funny, brilliant or not something you liked... Let's talk about it!

Feel free to DM me with any questions you have about pain relief or anything to do with birth.
