My "compelling story", that brought me to where I am today is a little longer.
 
Now I coach expectant moms like you on how to have a healthy, happy pregnancy, supportive delivery, and smooth transition into motherhood when you and the baby arrive home.
 
That defining moment in my life happened in 2013. I was pregnant with our first child and loving it. Maybe it was my studies in behavioural sciences and the understanding of what hypnosis can do – but I was excited and looking forward to it all – the birth , coming home into a new chapter of life with my partner and new baby.

I loved the idea of an easy pregnancy, smooth birth, and transition into our new life, but all I heard from my surroundings were horror stories that lingered in my mind. It seemed like every woman who ever had a baby was told about how awful their pregnancy can be, or how excruciating and long delivery can be, or how the mother-in-law from hell will be arriving.

Worse, many of them had nowhere to go to get these stories out of their head. These women, leaders in their professions, rising to the top of their game and pregnant maybe for the first time – were being told how their life was going to go – while they were pregnant, when they birthed and how it would suck just as bad when they got home.

Most of my friends seemed the authority figure in their career. Yet, somehow, they were giving their power away to these nameless people, and it left many of them speechless.

Authority can have a strange dynamic – and it plays a big role in the labour ward. The nurse, midwife or doctor represent authority. When expectant moms endure anything that goes against their values or beliefs, it can cause them to settle for less and endure whatever treatment they get in their delivery room.

I wanted to prevent all of them from being speechless during or after giving birth. I saw that their mindset was being contaminated by other women who often voluntarily shared their pain, but surely with the best intentions. Or the doctor during pregnancy told them how it would end up for them without any further information....

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to know what made people tick – and what made me tick, too. I noticed early on, for myself, that when there were powerful people around with a lot of authority, I would shrink.


I was determined to figure out why that happened, and over the years after my studies, I did discover the answer and turned it around. And when my friends shared how frightened they were because of other mothers pregnancies and birth stories – I had to get to the bottom of that. My answer came after taking hypnobirthing classes myself.
 
The birth of my son turned out too good to be true, it happened in my bedroom in front of the bed with my Partner behind me and 3 lovely midwifes that knew too well that encouragment and hardly any action from their side was needed. It was pure bliss and a beautiful new beginning.
 

My Philosophy

I decided shortly after this moment that all my own discoveries and training through the years led me to this: to help women reclaim their own good thinking, optimism, and power as a pregnant woman and soon to be mom. A little later I trained as a Doula to attend my client’s birth and hold their hands, be present and ensure that their wishes were followed.

This is where I had my very own birth trauma - as a third party. I was left speechless of what I had witnessed as a birth attendee.Things can go wrong during labour and birth, I value medical help and assistance whenever needed and necessary, but I saw things that were performed out of no obvious reason and not explained to the mother, the father or myself as a Doula, but leaving a mentally wounded mother and myself troubled for months.

All I kept saying to myself was: "Why do total strangers feel like they have permission to scare my friends or my clients? How can I teach those mothers-to-be to transfer their confidence to navigating pregnancy, delivery, and their transition home to start a life as a family? How can I help them reclaim their joy and power through these critical stages of becoming a new mom?!"

I gave birth to my son, and while he was just five months old, I dove in working with other women to teach them how to have the best pregnancy and birthing experience they could have. I watched their confidence and can-do attitude return as they
learned how to stop listening to the horror stories.
 
They stepped into a new mindset pre-delivery, gave up self-doubt and became confident in the vision they had for themselves, their birth and home life going forward.
They learn to reclaim their power and have the FREEDOM to create the pregnancy, birth story and amazing quality of life as a family that they've always dreamed of.

Since then, I’ve worked with many private clients and spoken in front of countless groups. I am living my dream by creating "New Moms in Power: Love Your Pregnancy; Design Your Birth and Build the Happy Home You Imagine." SystemTM. 
This is a series of 9 important inner and outer steps every pregnant woman learns to apply in order to have the healthy, happy pregnancy she wants, design the birth she wishes for, and create the home and family of her dreams before she ever gets to the delivery room.

You see, I have a clear focus on how I teach women how they can do the same: I watched their confidence grow by connecting to their inner self that changed everything for them, during pregnancy, birth and beyond.
I have since made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping expecting moms and women in motherhood to fill their needs and learn how to nurture themselves plus their families. You, as a mother or expecting mother want to be able to tap into your own filled energy tanks to make informed decisions suitable for you and your baby.
 
This way you have paved the path for a life you want
unfolding with ease.

My Training

I am a HypnoBirthing mom who gave birth to an alert little bundle of joy. I had experienced what I had wished for throughout pregnancy: A beautiful, calm birth that was special to me, my partner and my son. 

 

Hypnobirthing, I think a very well kept secret of the birthing world. 

We plan often ahead of everything when it comes to our babies, pregnancy, parenting and beyond. We organize little clothes, a pushchair, nappies, inform ourselves of where to birth our babies, where is a good peadiatrician located in my area, etc. But we often forget to look into the birth itself so that we are indeed capable of having what we aim and wish for.

​

' Giving birth is an innately instinctive act, hard wired into our brains and bodies through millions of years through mammalian evolution, and designed to ensure the best possible outcomes for mothers and babies. '

Dr Sarah Buckley

 

Sometimes we carry old information with us, this can be fear, anxiety, or similar. May this be due to experience or storytelling by others, but there is a way to let go of fear and negative emotions before you give birth and the possibility to empower you with tools and breathing techniques to get what you deserve for your baby and yourself on the day.

The New Mom In Power Programme will assist you to prepare your baby’s birth the way that feels right for YOU.
