Learn from my 13 years experience of supporting parents recovery from trauma symptoms, anxiety and depression. Sign up to the free webinar How to support traumatised parents here.


Are you currently supporting parents in your pregnancy, birth or baby business and wish that there was more that you could do to support their emotional health and wellbeing?

Are you alarmed at the increase in parents struggling with anxiety, low mood and symptoms of trauma?

Do you already hold space for them to hear their fears, anxiety and struggles but lack the confidence, skills, or knowledge to do more than just listen?

Maybe you have experienced your own difficult fertility, pregnancy, birth, or postnatal experience and deeply empathise with others who are now walking the same path.

I used to feel all these things; frustrated, powerless, and guilty.

When hypnobirthing clients struggled to learn the techniques because their fear was so abject, I could see that it was because they had been traumatised, and that was continuing to have a hold over them and their peace of mind.

I wished that I could take away their pain.

I wished that there was something I could say to make it better.

I wished that there was a magic bullet for trauma symptoms.

That was over 13 years ago now.

Since then, I have learnt a lot about perinatal trauma, what causes it, how we could prevent it and what we can do to safely support parents towards their own goals of recovery.

It is this 13 years of experience that I wish to share with you on the masterclass: How to safely support traumatised parents.

Here is what I will be covering on this 90 minute long masterclass of valuable information and insight into birth trauma:

  • The 5 easy steps that will ensure you can listen safely and effectively to traumatised parents’ stories. 

  • How avoid re- traumatising parents in your care.

  • The one thing you can do now to make any perinatal service trauma informed and safe.

  • Certificate of attendance and PDF takeaway for all who attend the live.

  • Video replay for everyone who signs up

It's happening on Thursday 30th October at 7pm GMT
