Hello lovely, I'm Emma!
Award winning antenatal teacher, hypnobirthing specialist and a mother of two.
I'm so pleased that you've found Blooming Births!
I've been exactly where you are now and let me tell you, discovering Hypnobirthing was the single biggest factor in achieving my empowering second birth.
Over the last three years, I've supported over 250 families to feel confident, calm and empowered for birth.
I believe that giving birth is a profound, life changing and transformative experience. Feeling in control and empowered during birth has huge positive ripple effects that are felt for a lifetime.

My Birth Stories
Before the birth of my first son, I was absolutely that person who heard the word Hypnobirthing and dismissed it as hippy nonsense.
I didn't bother booking a Hypnobirthing course - or any other antenatal course for that matter. Honestly, I didn't see what difference a course would make to my birth.
The birth of my first son was nothing like I had imagined.
At 41 weeks, I had an induction of labour.
What followed was an intense birth with lots of medical interventions that I didn't want and an experience where I was left feeling really vulnerable and out of control.
This had a profound impact on my mental health postnatally. I suffered with anxiety and couldn't quite fathom how my birth had gone so 'wrong'.
My second birth was world's apart...
During my second pregnancy, I knew I wanted so much more from my birth. I wanted a birth that would leave me feeling strong, empowered and confident.
I found a local Hypnobirthing teacher and invested in a course.
This was nothing short of life changing.
I felt so confident after my Hypnobirthing course, I planned a homebirth - worlds apart from my first medicalised hospital birth.
At 40 weeks, I went into labour naturally and had the most empowering water birth just a few hours later!
Giving birth to my son in this way, fully in my own power, was the most incredible experience. Holding him for the first time ignited a passion and fire in my belly for Hypnobirthing.
I began my Hypnobirthing teacher training shortly after and have since trainied with some of the UKs leading Hypnotherapists, midwives, doulas and birth rights consultants.
You’re about to embark on one of the most incredible journeys of your life - the birth of your baby.
My mission and sole purpose here at Blooming Births is to support you to feel confident, calm and totally empowered for your birth, no matter what happens on the day.
My 5* rated antenatal course combines powerful Hypnobirthing, evidence based birth prep and nurturing mindfulness, giving you everything you need to prepare both your mind and body for birth.
You can expect a nurturing, relaxed antenatal course that feels like a big warm hug from a close friend, leaving you feeling truly empowered for your baby's birth.
I'm currently training to become a fully certified baby massage instructor and I can't wait to launch these special classes. My soothing baby massage classes are coming to Gosforth soon!
When I'm not teaching, you'll likely find me baking, running around after my two babies, curled up with a good book (sucker for a crime thriller/romance novel!) or down by the Northumberland sea - my favourite place to be!
I'm not your typical 'hippy' Hypnobirthing teacher - you wont find tarot cards, crystals or incense at any of my courses. My style is much more down to earth.
My super power is being able to put people at ease and I'll always welcome you with a warm smile, a hot cup of tea and even a cuddle if you need one.
I'm a true mother and nurturer at heart.
I absolutely love adding in all those special little touches into everything that I do and I'm best known for my personalised, thoughtful approach.
I love making all my courses and classes feel like a truly gorgeous experience, and I can't wait to see you there!
