My instructor bio
GentleBirth combines all the elements that I think are essential for a positive birth experience into one easy-to-use programme. I’m excited to be working with motivated couples – people who believe birth can be different from the negative stories everyone wants to tell you, different from the media representation of birth. If you’ve already joined the GentleBirth Facebook group, you'll have read how it can be a wonderful, positive, life-changing experience.
I understand how important preparation for childbirth is. It made all the difference to me on my first birth in hospital and my two births at home. I sought out all the relevant information about hospital policies and practices and how to work around them and I also did some DIY brain conditioning using affirmations, deep relaxation and self-hypnosis. The GentleBirth workshop and programme pulls all this - and much, much more - together for you.
My background: I am an experienced antenatal teacher teaching since 2005 and tutoring trainee antenatal teachers since 2013. I teach a unique weekly yoga-based class called Pregnancy Relax Stretch Breathe that combines pregnancy yoga, antenatal education/practical skills and socialising for pregnant women. I am also a Baby Massage instructor.
My project: I am author of www.bump2babe.ie which is the Consumer Guide to the Maternity Services in Ireland which was updated and re-launched in June 2018. The guide is ‘one-stop shop’ resource for information on every Irish maternity hospital.
