“It was a much better experience than my first I felt a surge of love wash over me as she was born and felt an instant connection to her which I hadn’t felt before. Having the information and opportunity to own my birth experience this time really helped give me the birth I needed and wanted.”
Created by accidental but a course I am incredibly proud of.
I developed this as a space to honour and celebrate caesarean/c-section birth.
Whether this is your first choice or has become the best decision for you, based on medical or other circumstances, I am so glad to be able to offer this option to parents and expectant parents to be.

“The techniques really helped before and during surgery (I actually spoke to the Anaesthetist the whole time… He lived in Hackney!) The muslin I slept with really helped calm him down. It was like magic! I feel like I really had the birth experience I wanted and that is hugely down to you and the course”

“We picked up so much useful information and felt calm and prepared on the day itself. We implemented all her tips and the day went exactly as we had hoped.”

Whenever I think of my experience it makes me cry. It was overwhelming, beautiful, scary and life changing! And now we have Arthur…

Navigating the birthing experience is never easy but Anna made me feel that much more comfortable with my birth and the choices I made.
Thank you so much for the sessions. We both really enjoyed it, it was very helpful and reassuring, and made me feel excited about the birth (rather than just nervous!)

Anna is lovely! She’s one of the first Hypnobirthing teachers that I’ve found to be so positive regarding an elective C-section or tummy birth. Her PDF sheets have been really helpful for my partner and I to prepare for the birth. I especially loved her tips for packing my birth bag even though this is my second baby! She’s super quick to respond and is amazing at sharing all her knowledge and contacts. She’s a true star.

I surprised myself how calm I was, the entire surgical team asked me if I was a yoga teacher!
