Hi, I’m Katy (she/her). Welcome to BORN READY BABY. Who am I? I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist, fully qualified Hypnobirthing teacher, birth trauma recovery practitioner and Doula who lives in Glasgow.
Here for Hypnobirthing & Birth Coaching?
How did I come to Hypnobirthing? When I found out I was pregnant I was completely ecstatic. Then it hit me – this baby had to come out one way or the other. Gulp! Was it really going to be as bad as people kept telling me? To be honest, I was terrified. Completely terrified and I knew I had to do something about it.
I’d heard celebs talking about Hypnobirthing (hey, if it’s good enough for Kate Middleton!) and assumed it was a load of nonsense but at this point, what did I have to lose? Deciding to take the plunge and sign up was one of the best decisions of my life.
From utterly terrified to a positive birth experience that I wanted to relive every day – that’s some result! You can find out all about my Royal College of Midwives accredited training here.
I feel so passionately that becoming a parent is beyond wonderful but it can also be completely overwhelming. Anything we can do to make sure that it gets off to the best start possible, the better.
So often we’re bombarded with birth “horror stories” (we’ve all heard them) but who is telling us the empowering ones, the stories that make us excited to meet our babies? Nobody should feel like they have to spend their pregnancy in fear and no parents should feel traumatised by their birth experience.
Does Hypnobirthing guarantee a “pain-free, natural birth”? Absolutely not. What it does promise is a whole new way of thinking about and approaching birth, with a bunch of tools to help along the way to make sure that you have the most positive and empowered experience possible.
You deserve to enjoy your pregnancy and birth and that’s where I’m here to help. So please get in touch and let’s see what we can do together. You’ve totally got this. You were born ready baby.
I’m also passionate about supporting recovery from traumatic birth experiences. You can find out all about the support I offer here.
