I'm Claudine and I live in Folkestone with my husband Oli and two children. We feel very lucky that we get to live by the sea in such a friendly and creative community. 

 

When I found out I was pregnant, I experienced a mixture of emotions- excitement, joy, disbelief and fear! The dawning realisation that the baby was going to have to come out one way or another and the thought of this was terrifying.

​

After burying my head in the sand about the whole get the baby out thing, I had a conversation with a friend who had recently given birth. She spoke so positively about her experience and she attributed this to her hypnobirthing classes. 

 

I had not heard of hypnobirthing before and was definitely quite sceptical about the name but decided it was worth a try. 

 

 That decision certainly paid off. It turned an experience I was terrified of into one I was actually excited about. I felt so much more prepared, I had a better understanding of what my body was capable of and felt ready for the challenge that lay ahead. 

​

It was such a transformative experience, that I decided I wanted to train and teach myself. My classes take elements from hypnobirthing but also include mindfulness, sports psychology and neuroscience.

 

I feel passionately about every birthing person's right to have an informed and positive birth experience, regardless of what actually happens on the day. 

​

I am so excited to be part of this journey with you.
