March 02 Episode 140 - How Preparation Changed Krystle's Birth Experience
In this episode, I’m chatting with Krysle, a mum of two, about her journey into hypnobirthing and how it shaped both of her birth experiences. We talk about how listening to positive birth stories changed her expectations, what it was like navigating hospital policies and monitoring, and how preparation helped her stay grounded and make informed decisions during labour.
Krystle shares honestly about the mental side of birth, the importance of flexibility, and how trusting yourself can make a huge difference, even when birth takes unexpected turns. This is a really reassuring episode for anyone who wants a realistic but empowering perspective on preparing for birth.

February 16 Episode 138 - From Pregnancy to Birth: Sian’s Experience with Hypnobirthing
In this episode of The Hypnobirthing Podcast, I’m joined by Sian, who shares her journey through pregnancy, hypnobirthing, and birth as a mum of two.
Sian reflects on how discovering hypnobirthing influenced her confidence during pregnancy, the expectations she had going into labour, and how her real-life birth experiences compared to what she had imagined. We talk honestly about decision-making, conversations with healthcare professionals, and the emotions that can come up when birth doesn’t go exactly to plan.
This episode is a gentle reminder that birth preparation isn’t about controlling outcomes; it’s about understanding your options, feeling informed, and trusting yourself to navigate whatever comes your way.

February 09 Episode 137 - Birth Preferences, Advocacy & Informed Choice
In this episode of The Hypnobirthing Podcast, I explore how birth preferences, advocacy and informed choice can shape not just what happens during birth, but how you feel about it long after your baby is born.
This conversation is for you if you’re feeling overwhelmed by decisions in pregnancy, worried about being pressured into things you don’t fully understand, or wanting to feel calmer, more confident and more listened to during birth.

January 26Episode 135 - Fear, Conditioning & the Nervous System in Birth
In this episode of The Hypnobirthing Podcast, I explore the powerful connection between fear, conditioning, and the nervous system in birth.
I share how fear can affect labour hormones and physiology, why so many of us are unconsciously conditioned to fear birth, and how the stories we hear can shape how birth feels and unfolds. I also talk about simple, practical mindset shifts you can start using now to support your nervous system and feel calmer and more confident as you prepare for birth.
This episode is especially supportive if you’re feeling anxious about birth, have been affected by negative stories, or want to better understand how to work with your body rather than against it.
In this episode, I cover:
How the nervous system influences labour and birth
The fear–tension–pain cycle
Why fear around birth is learned, not innate
The impact of birth stories and conditioning
Simple tools to create safety and calm before and during labour

January 19Episode 134 - Two Births, Two Mindsets: Eliza’s Hypnobirthing Journey
In this episode, I chat with Eliza, who shares her two very different birth experiences. Her first birth was straightforward but left her feeling shocked and overwhelmed. Determined to feel more in control second time around, she discovered hypnobirthing, and it completely changed everything.

Eliza talks about:
Why her “good on paper” first birth didn’t feel good
How hypnobirthing shifted her mindset
A calm, instinctive early labour at home
The incredibly fast birth that almost happened in triage
How understanding her body made all the difference

A powerful episode for anyone preparing for birth or looking for confidence after a difficult first experience.

January 12 Episode 133 - What Hypnobirthing Really Is (and Isn’t)
In this episode, I’m setting the scene for the season by gently unpacking what hypnobirthing really is, and what it isn’t. So many parents come to hypnobirthing feeling pressure to do it “right,” to stay calm, or to have a certain kind of birth, and I want to take that pressure away.

Hypnobirthing isn’t about control or perfection. It’s about understanding your body, feeling safe, and having choices. I talk about the nervous system, why safety matters in birth, and what a positive birth truly means; regardless of how your birth unfolds.

If you’re pregnant and looking for more support, I share details of my hypnobirthing courses and doula support in the below. And if this episode helped, I’d love you to follow the podcast or leave a review.

Thank you for being here 🤍
