I know you…
I know you because I was you. I had so many questions, so many worries, so many what ifs:
Does labour really hurt?
Will I cope with the pain of childbirth?
Will I get to have the birth I want?
Will my body go back to normal?
Will my baby arrive safely?
I had all these thoughts and so many more
And then there are the stories…
Everyone’s heard of someone with a horrible birth experience. When you’re pregnant, everyone will happily tell you their childbirth story.
They’ll tell you everything—the good, the bad, and the scary. The trouble is, our brains are hardwired to look out for danger. This inbuilt safety mechanism means that we zero in on the negative stories and our imaginations run wild. It’s just our brain trying to keep us safe.
Unfortunately, it leads to feelings of fear, doubt, and a lack of confidence in our natural ability to give birth.
But it doesn’t have to be this way…
I’m determined to help change the narrative
I can teach you how to harness the power of hypnobirthing so you’ll go into labour feeling calm, confident, and in no doubt about your natural birthing abilities.
“Everybody should do this. My second birth was an amazingly enjoyable experience that i felt in control of. Despite going against all advice, I had my baby girl in a birthing pool, in my lounge at home with absolutely no pain and total confidence in my choices and ability to birth naturally. Worth every penny!”

Hypnobirthing changed the course of my life
Discover how it can change your life too…
My journey continued when, in 2009 I started my hypnotherapy studies and then in 2010, I qualified as a Mongan Method practitioner. Since then, I have qualified in the Wise Hippo and KG Methods.
Now, 12 years down the road, I’ve built my life around empowering women to experience better births and created the Rose Method.
The Rose Method
Thinking about giving birth can feel like jumping out of a plane without a parachute. Your thoughts spiral out of control as you plummet to the ground. You know it’s going to end and you know it’s going to hurt.
Now, I’ve jumped out of a plane at 12000ft—luckily I did have a parachute. As I soared through the bright blue sky, drinking in the breathtaking view, I realised that hypnobirthing is a lot like having a parachute.
You could choose to jump without a parachute, but wouldn’t you rather glide calmly and serenely into parenthood with positive and proactive birth preparation?
The Rose Method is a guided, step-by-step hypnobirthing course designed to take you from feeling overwhelmed and anxious about giving birth to feeling empowered, confident, and in control of your birth experience.
Here’s how we’ll do it
You’ll learn a powerful combination of antenatal education, psychology, and deep relaxation techniques designed to teach you:
☼ How to prepare your body for birth.
☼ How to feel completely in-tune with your body.
☼ How your partner can be a part of the whole process.
☼ How your thoughts affect your feelings and how to control them.
☼ How to reframe everything you thought you knew about childbirth.
☼ How to use deep relaxation exercises to remain calm and in control.
☼ How to make informed choices, feel respected and heard by your medical team.
☼ How you can still have a calm birth even if Mother Nature needs a helping hand.

MISSION 1 MILLION
I want to re-write the stories we tell each other about childbirth.
I believe in our natural ability to give birth and I’m on a big mission to help 1 million people experience positive births through the power of hypnobirthing.
