Prepare for Birth with Confidence and Intention

Personalised coaching to help you prepare mentally and emotionally for a calm, confident birth.

Your Birth, Your Way

Personalised 1:1 Coaching Tailored to Your Birth Experience

My personalised 1-to-1 coaching programme includes six tailored sessions, each designed with you in mind. Whether it’s just you or you’re bringing your birth partner along, I’m here to help you prepare for a positive birth experience. Together, we’ll address your unique needs, concerns, and hopes, so that you feel fully supported and confident as you approach this incredibly important moment in your life.

Example Session Structure:

1. Getting to know you

Our first session is about building a foundation of trust and understanding. I’ll discuss your unique needs and desires for your birthing experience, addressing any challenges or concerns to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.

2. Exploring Perceptions and Beliefs

Together, we will explore your perceptions, understanding how they shape your beliefs about childbirth, and delve into their roots to uncover the impacts they may have on your birth experience.

3. Reframing Self-Limiting Beliefs

We will identify and reframe negative or self-limiting beliefs about childbirth. This process is intensive and transformative, going beyond superficial changes to deeply alter the emotional reactions and mental frameworks that shape your birthing experience..

4. Assertive Communication

I will help you develop the skills to communicate your needs and preferences effectively with healthcare providers. These sessions will equip you with the confidence to advocate for yourself and your baby during pregnancy and labour.

5. Breathing and Visualisation Techniques

Learn and practice techniques that enhance your mental and physical preparation for childbirth. These methods focus on relaxation and maintaining focus during labour, helping you manage stress and discomfort.

6. Birth Plan Preparation

We will prepare a personalised birth plan that aligns with your preferences and needs, focusing on creating a supportive birth environment. Understand the role of hormones, pain management strategies, and how to set the stage for a positive labour and delivery experience.

Each session is a building block towards not just physical readiness for childbirth but also enhancing your emotional and mental preparation, ensuring a holistic approach to your birth experience.

Hi, I’m Sam

My journey into birth coaching began with my own experiences as a mother. After a challenging first birth that left me feeling overwhelmed and traumatised, I realised the profound impact that mindset and preparation can have on the birthing experience. Determined to approach my second birth differently, I immersed myself in mental health support and techniques that transformed my fears into confidence, leading to a positive and empowering birth.

Now, I’m passionate about helping other women and their birth partners navigate their own journeys. With over five years of experience in Learning and Development and a CIPD qualification, I combine evidence-based practices with personal insight to support you in preparing mentally and emotionally for childbirth. Whether you’re a first-time mum or seeking a better experience after a previous birth, I’m here to guide you towards a calm, confident, and positive birth experience.

Why Choose My Coaching?

Evidence-Based Guidance

Every week, I provide up-to-date scientific evidence to support our discussions. This approach ensures you receive reliable, current information without the overwhelm of doing the research yourself.

Practical Application

After each session, you’ll receive personalised homework. These tasks are designed to reinforce what we’ve discussed, helping you integrate these insights into your daily life as you prepare for your birth.

Tailored Coaching Experience

Your journey is unique, and so is my coaching. Utilising the GROW model, I adapt our sessions to focus on what’s most important to you, challenging and refining your thoughts in a respectful and effective manner.

Professional Expertise

As a CIPD qualified Learning and Development professional with over 5 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge in designing and delivering educational content that enhances interpersonal skills and achieves desired outcomes.

Personal Experience

Having personally experienced the transformative power of a positive birth mindset, I’m dedicated to helping you achieve the same.
