Hi, I’m Sharon Wright — or as many know me, Sharon the Doula. I’ve been supporting families as a Birth and Postnatal Doula for over a decade. As a mum of three and happily married for 33 years, I truly understand how precious and life-changing the journey to parenthood can be.

Alongside my doula work, I’m also passionate about hypnobirthing, helping parents-to-be feel calm, confident, and empowered as they prepare for birth. I absolutely love what I do, and I’m thrilled to now be part of Calm Births, offering care, encouragement, and reassurance to mums and dads in those all-important early stages.

Hi, I’m Michelle Irving, Mum to two grown up children and a practising midwife with more than 20 years’ experience. I have worked with many women over the years who used hypnobirthing to great effect, and this prompted me to train with Calm Births to become a hypnobirthing teacher. I am so pleased to be able to offer hypnobirthing courses to women and their birth partners, helping them prepare for and achieve the births of their dreams.

I offer group sessions at a venue near Poole in Dorset and private classes in people’s own homes across Dorset and Hampshire.

Hi I'm Isla, founder of The Joey Journey, teaching the Calm Births hypnobirthing course in Hampshire.

After hypnobirthing was a pivotal point in my first pregnancy I knew I wanted to empower other women. I believe every woman should have the opportunity to understand her own body and be given the tools to birth as she wants.

Whatever your journey, pregnancy and birth should be a positive experience.

Hi I’m Kerry, based across Cumbria and the South lakes.

I am a mum of two, with over 15 years experience as a nurse working with families and babies, after a 5 year struggle with secondary infertility and several rounds of IVF I was blessed to be able to bring my daughter into the world in the most beautiful birth using hypnobirthing techniques, that feeling is something I wish I could bottle and share with everyone.

I feel very privileged to be in a position to share my experiences and empower women to feel confident, relaxed and excited to achieve your own beautiful birth.

Hi I’m Jenny.

I am a fully qualified Hypnotherapist and Mother of three grown up children. I was fortunate to be present at two of my three grandchildren’s births and after watching my daughter have two completely different birth experiences I got to see first hand the difference a positive birth could make to the mother’s sense of wellbeing.

I am now a qualified Hypnobirthing coach and feel absolutely privileged to be able to share some knowledge, empowerment and empathy with parents to be. Being part of a woman’s journey to motherhood is nothing short of a gift and I can’t wait to share this wonderful technique with many more mothers.

Hiya I’m Sarah, I’m a hypnobirthing teacher, Health visitor, paediatric nurse & muma to two wonderful little monsters!

I first came across Calm Births in 2016 when I was pregnant with my first little one. The techniques I learnt and tools I developed help me to feel calm, empowered & in control of my labour & birth. In 2019 I went on to have my second baby in a relaxed, calm and lovely home waterbirth.

As a health visitor and paediatric nurse, supporting & empowering parents is what I love to do. As a hypnobirthing teacher, I feel very fortunate to also be able to help families before baby arrives, by achieving their own positive and calm birth.

I am based in Aldermaston, Berkshire. I would be delighted to have an open conversation with you. To get in touch: Email: sarahjanehawkins@hotmail.com or Call: 0754 0774661

Hi, I’m Beth and I’m a proud mum of two. I took the Calm Births course in 2018 when pregnant with my daughter and it completely changed my attitude towards birth – I felt so calm, positive and prepared for whatever came my way. I’ve been running ‘Your Birth Your Way’ in Nottingham since 2020, and specialise in private courses supporting you and your birth partner to get ready for birth.

Pregnancy can be a worrying time for anyone, and my goal is to work with you to help you feel cool, calm and collected so you can have the positive birth you deserve.To get in touch: Visit my website; Email: beth@yourbirthyourway.uk or Call: 07823 320130.

Hi I'm Avril, I’m your Calm Births teacher for Galway City and County area in the West of Ireland.

I have over 10 years experience as a Midwife and currently work in University Hospital Galway on the busy labour ward. I had my second child using hypnobirthing techniques in 2016, and in 2018 when I was 6 months pregnant with my 3rd I trained with Hannah as a Calm Births Hypnobirthing teacher and used these techniques to birth my 3rd child.

Using Hypnobirthing techniques for your labour and birth will empower you, release any fears you may have and excite you in your journey to become a new mother whether it’s your 1st or subsequent child.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and your birth partner and helping you feel confident and excited for your baby’s birth.

My name is Hannah and I have been a dental hygienist since 2015. Following the birth of my daughter ‘Grace’ in April of 2020 I gained a huge amount of respect for women, mothers and what our bodies are capable of. I hypnobirthed myself and it has now become my passion. I have also completed a diploma in hypnotherapy to greater my knowledge and better support women in the transition through pregnancy, labour and motherhood.

Hi, I’m Helena, mum of 2, a doula and hypnobirthing teacher based in Bristol.

I had my first baby 12 years ago and using relaxing prayer and positive affirmations, (not being aware of hypnobirthing!) I experienced two wonderful, calm, short labours. Since then I have become very passionate about sharing this and helping parents to be empowered to have positive birth experiences.

I run regular online pregnancy retreats for those who want to bring their faith into their journey, and my hypnobirthing classes are available with a ‘prayer’ element too for those who are viewing it all from a Christian perspective.

The Calm Births course is an amazing way to confidently prepare for birth and the postnatal period, to help you and your birth partner feel empowered, strong and prepared.

If you would like to chat further about the Calm birth classes I offer, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
