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.

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.

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.
