Hello there and congratulations on your upcoming arrival! I am Catherine Russell and I live in Twickenham with my husband and a very lively young daughter.

When I first found out I was pregnant, I was excited about welcoming a new baby into the world but also very anxious and scared about giving birth. After doing a hypnobirthing course I felt much more reassured and confident that I would be able to get through the labour and give birth to my beautiful baby. The whole process isn't plain sailing and it is hard work but with a positive mind and some clever tools up my sleeve I had the positive and gratifying birthing experience that I wanted it to be.

The experience I had giving birth to my daughter, while using hypnobirthing techniques, makes me want to empower all women to have the most positive birthing journey they can. I am passionate about how beneficial hypnobirthing is and I have a desire to share this with all mothers. I am compassionate and empathetic to the feelings that expectant mothers and birth partners experience and I can draw on my own personal birth journey to help reduce any negative or fearful thoughts
