Around 10% of women in the UK choose an elective caesarean to welcome their baby into the world. There are a whole host of reasons why a birthing person may be advised, or indeed prefer to have a planned caesarean, but for many women, despite the decision to accept a belly birth, it can still be an anxious and fearful time.
A caesarean is major surgery, there is no escaping that fact, but this doesn’t have to mean the experience needs to be any less rewarding, intimate, personal and powerful than a vaginal birth would be.
I have devised a course to help you understand what happens during surgery, how to prepare yourself emotionally for the day you meet your baby, how to adapt the more traditional c-section formula to create a procedure that is personal to you as a family and how to relax and feel euphoric and empowered as your baby enters the world.
As a qualified maternity nurse I am also able to offer evidence based guidance on post- surgery recovery, including what to look out for as you heal and how to aid your recovery physically and emotionally.
If you are in any way unsure about whether to accept a caesarean then (it is entirely your choice after all) please get in touch and I will help how I can.
You are doing something natural, wonderful and powerful. You are bringing your baby into the world in the way that is best for them. This course is designed to help you feel excited and in control as you prepare to meet your baby and ensure that their birthday is overwhelmingly positive, to give you all the best start to life together.

Given the bespoke nature of this course it is only available on a one to one basis
Charlotte is such a lovely and approachable person which makes the course so enjoyable! Her knowledge and support has been greatly appreciated by both myself and my husband.

‘Meeting’ Charlotte gave my partner and I the most incredible birth experience of our first baby…better than we could ever have imagined!
Annie & Richard
You literally made our dreams come true with this birth. Thank you.
A & R
I’m a natural people pleaser so one thing I have gained on this course is the confidence to put my views across with all knowledge I have gained.
Georgia & Ashley
Our birthing experience was incredibly calm, positive and empowering and I honestly can’t thank Charlotte enough for the knowledge and confidence she gave us to bring our daughter into the world. Thank you thank you!! Xxxx
Florence & Kane
Thank you so much Charlotte, this was all made possible because of you. You gave me the confidence to have a home birth and the knowledge to feel strong enough not to be bullied into something I didn’t feel comfortable with.

I managed to labour for 20+hours with your hypnobirthing and a tens machine.
I am so proud of myself and how I focused on your pack before birth!! Without hypnobirthing I don’t think I could have done it!
Karina
Can honestly say hypnobirthing helped us so much (THANK YOU!). We managed to stay at home using up breathing to cope with surges, creating a safe space at home and knowing what we’d learnt from the course gave us the confidence to lead the whole process along with the support from the staff at the MLBU.
Anna & Sam
My partner and I opted for one-to-one hypnobirthing sessions with Charlotte and we’re so glad we did! Charlotte made us feel comfortable and relaxed right from the first session and the course was really well structured to walk us through hypnobirthing techniques.
Alan & Charlotte
Cannot believe I haven’t written this recommendation earlier. How I forgot I do not know. I cannot recommend Charlotte enough, she is a one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. She welcomed me into each session with a warm smile and a check on how I was personally before moving on to educate myself and my partner on all things hypnobirthing.
