ABOUT JADE - YOUR HYPNOBIRTHING GUIDE

Hi, my name is Jade. I started out as a Primary school teacher, which is a job I adored and supports me when teaching classes now. I had my first child in 2016 and I had a surprisingly positive birth experience, despite what I had been told about birth or had seen on television. I continued to teach part time and in 2018 I had my second child. After some difficult decisions I decided not to return to teaching at that point. Then, just before Covid happened, I trained to teach Hypnobirthing and have done so ever since. I did return to teaching in a school, as education often does it brought me back in to a range of teaching rolls between the years 2022-2025.
​​
I have recently had my third baby and after practising Hypnobirthing and putting the skills I teach into practise, I had my most positive birth experience yet.
​​
All of my births were very different, two born in hospital and one at home. I used elements of Hypnobirthing during my second, which pushed me to educate myself further and sparked a passion to educate others. To show women and their partners that Hypnobirthing is not about being hypnotised by somebody else or having to birth baby at home in water for the 'optimal experience', but that Hypnobirthing is actually all based on science. Positive and gentle birth experiences can be achieved with a better understanding of how your body works and why and knowing the techniques and tools that help to ground you during intense situations.
ABOUT HYPNOBIRTHING
What is Hypnobirthing?
So often people hear the word Hypnobirthing and think it is something to do with being hypnotised or clients tell me they believe it is only about water births, which simply is not true. Hypnobirthing is so much more. It is learning about your body and understanding why things happen during pregnancy and birth the way they do. It is about how to manage pain sensations or intensity levels and to find tools and techniques that work for you to help ground you and lessen fear and anxiety, particularly around birth.
​
Hypno – being in a state of hypnosis, but we know that in Hypnobirthing any hypnosis is self-hypnosis or deep relaxation. And then birthing - well, birthing your beautiful baby. Hypnobirthing is a well thought out process based upon childbirth education, research and science to teach you about what happens to your body during pregnancy, labour and birth and how you and your partner can support your body and experience.
What are the benefits of Hypnobirthing?
There are so many! Hypnobirthing provides you with the tools and techniques to help keep you calm and relaxed during pregnancy, labour and beyond. It enables you to overcome any fear surrounding birth through deep relaxation, breathing exercises, knowledge and understanding of your body, researching positive births and watching videos. Removing and overcoming that fear in turn releases tension from your mind and body which can lessen pain sensations.
​​
Hypnobirthing can shorten the first phase of labour and has shown that it significantly reduces the amount of women having chemical painkillers during their labours.
​​
Hypnobirthing also gives your partner an active role during the birth of your wonderful baby and can really deepen the understanding and connection you have with one another.
​​
Hypnobirthing is so empowering! Being in control of how you react to the labour sensation, being able to get into your zone, to block your surroundings out and to trust your birthing body is so beautiful and one of the most amazing things you will ever do!
