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.

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 Jenny.

I am a fully qualified Hypnotherapist and Mother of three grown up children.

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.

I’m Jenny, an experienced midwife and Calm Births Hypnobirthing teacher. I recently switched to the big skies of Norfolk from the heady heights of London, and currently practise as a midwife on the delivery suite here. I’ve been lucky enough to help lots of babies into the world, including in India and Tanzania where I undertook volunteering placements a few years ago. Since then I had a lovely job in London encompassing community midwifery, home births, parent education and the midwife-led birth centre.

Throughout my years around families making this transition, including during my own home births, I have been struck by the transformative potential of the birth experience, and how much we can do to equip ourselves, in terms of practical knowledge and emotional preparation, to make this journey a positive one. I would love to join you along the way.

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.
