Award winning classes that help you feel powerful, informed and positive about the birth of your baby

Pregnancy is an exciting journey, but it can also bring anxiety. I should know, I’ve been through it twice! I felt scared and uncertain the first time around, but after discovering hypnobirthing, everything changed. I went on to have two positive and empowering birth experiences, thanks to the tools and confidence it gave me. Now, I help other families do the same.

Calm, confident and ready to birth

Your birth, your way

Every birth is unique, and every parent deserves to feel in control. That’s why I teach strategies that work for every kind of birth. Hypnobirthing isn’t just for those aiming for a completely pain-free experience. It complements any birth plan, including those using pain relief, planned inductions or caesarean sections. My goal is to help you feel empowered and positive, no matter how your baby arrives.

Hello!

Get to know me 

Hi, I’m Lizzie - a passionate hypnobirthing educator and NHS professional on a mission to help families feel supported and confident about their birth journey. I offer small group classes in Prestwich as well as one-to-one sessions from the comfort of your own home throughout Greater Manchester or online. I love everything birth related and have supported many families to feel ready for their birth and experience the birth they wished for!


My approach is friendly, relaxed and personalised. I’ll help you understand your rights, make informed choices and feel calm, confident and genuinely excited to welcome your baby.

Here I am with my lovely family - Joe, my husband and my two girls. They are my daily reason I am in this role. My births with both of them were really positive experiences but not without their own journey!
We love holidays, eating out and soft play!

  • "Hypnobirthing is so misunderstood! Taught us so much and gave us positive but realistic expectations about the birth! Lizzie is amazing, our midwife was so impressed with our knowledge and our birth preferences / plan."

    —Jamie (Group Hypnobirthing Course)

  • "Me and my partner had an amazing experience!..Lizzie is so knowledgeable and has given us so much confidence which has put our minds at ease to know that we can do it."

    —Kaitlin (Bespoke 1:1 Hypnobirthing Course)

FAQ…

  • It sounds a bit scary doesn’t it? Sounds a bit “hippy”? Well, let me tell you that this is where your real power will lie. It does stand for hypnosis but don’t for a minute think I will be waving a pocket watch at you or asking you to bark like a dog!
    Every single day, we all (everyone!) go in to a state of hypnosis. It is that moment just before we fall asleep when we feel so relaxed, comfortable and are zoning out from the noises in our environment. It is such a natural state for us to be in and is so powerful for birth.

    Through hypnobirthing, I can give you the tools you need to shut out the noises around you and disconnect from those strong waves you feel during birth so you feel relaxed, in control and dare I say it more comfortable that you thought!

    Relaxed mind and body = more comfortable and shorter birth

  • Yes! I have personal experience of this alongside lots of others in the UK and beyond!

    Hypnobirthing does:

    • Release any fear and worry so families can enjoy the pregnancy

    • Make you and your birth partners feel more connected

    • Help you feel calmer and more in control during labour

    • support your birth partner to support you through techniques - they won’t feel like a spare part!

    • Experience a significantly shorter labour (up to 6 hours!) *

    • Improve your chances of having a natural birth (79% over the national average of 41%)*

    • Less likely to have some pain relief - if any at all! (59% did not have pain relief in comparison to national average of 6.6%)*

    • provide you with techniques to use well after birth - you’ll find you may use them daily!
