Lindsey – Hypnobirthing Practitioner

Hypnobirthing is centred around the powerful connection between your mind and body. It’s about creating a calm, positive mindset that allows your body to do what it’s naturally designed to do, giving birth feeling confident and in control.

I’m passionate about helping you understand how your thoughts, emotions, hormones and environment influence your birthing experience. Through practical tools, proven techniques, and an understanding of how the brain and body work together, I’ll support you in building a mindset that serves you, not just during labour, but throughout your pregnancy and into parenthood.

You’ll learn how to stay focused and in control, how to manage fear and anxiety, and how to use your mindset to positively influence your body’s perception and response to birth. This is about you and your birth partner feeling prepared, supported and genuinely confident whatever kind of birth you have.

Bailey – Your Private Midwife

Are you ready to get the very best out of your birth experience?

With over 15 years in the birth world, I specialise in body mechanics and understanding how your body is designed to birth. Learning how your body naturally works can help you feel more aligned, confident, and ready to birth your way.

In this group course, I’ll support you in learning how you and your baby work together during birth, how to confidently navigate modern maternity systems, and what to expect during each stage of labour. We’ll also explore practical approaches to things like induction, pain relief and so much more, all with your unique journey in mind.

Drawing on all my own experiences supporting births, my teaching style is hands on, practical, fun and story based, so everything we cover properly lands. You’ll leave feeling informed, connected, and ready to use what you’ve learned when your moment arrives.

Rea – Midwife Infant Feeding Specialist & IBCLC.

When it comes to feeding your baby, every journey is unique, and support makes all the difference.

Feeding your small human can be one of the most emotionally and physically demanding parts of early parenthood. While NHS midwives work hard to offer support, system pressures can often make it difficult to receive the personalised care you deserve. That’s where I come in.

As part of the My Bump to Baby antenatal team, I’m here to offer grounded, nurturing guidance to help you feel informed, confident, and supported before your small human even arrives. My approach centres on infant mental health, intuitive parenting, and the ‘why’ behind the cultural and social norms we often adopt without question.

Together, we’ll explore how to build secure, responsive connections with your baby and make sense of what’s available to support you, so both you and your little human feel more attuned, connected, and confident.
