Don’t hope for the best birth, create it.
Behind Your Birth Project
Founder, Qualified Hypnobirthing Instructor, Birth Enthusiast, Podcast Host & Mum.
I don’t have a traditional pathway into the birthing space - my professional background is in Human Resources and although I need to use breath work to calm my mind in some situations it is a far cry from the breath work you will use in your birth. I have always been interested in birth though, with the Kiwi Birth Tales podcast being the way I expressed my interest initially.
It was through the podcast that I began to understand how different birth can be for each Mother - not only was this a result of their care provider, environment and knowledge but also a result of preparedness and confidence. I knew that Hypnobirthing courses were often expensive but couldn’t understand why the knowledge seemed to only be reserved for those who can afford it. Also knowing an instructor course was expensive and time it takes to teach the materials is high, I decided I had to find a better way - Your Birth Project was (excuse the pun) born. My own birth experience where I was observed, on the clock and under pressure only made my passion for Hypnobirthing and creating your best birth even stronger.
I am so passionate about changing the birthing experience for Mothers, with a goal of having all YBP Mamas feeling positive about their experience in the end. I love being part of your birthing journey and am SO grateful that I have ended up here, with you.
