HYPNOBIRTING AND INFANT FEEDING SUPPORT SPECIALIST MELTON MOWBRAY
Hiya, I'm Bea, evidence based and no fluff and non-judgmental hypnobirthing, antenatal teacher and breastfeeding counsellor in and the surrounding area of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire and mum of two (and a bonus one). My aim is for everyone, during pregnancy, to have the knowledge and tools to empower them for their own transformative and positive birth and feeding experience. I want you to feel powerful! I'm not going to promise you a particular kind of birth, but I can help you to prepare for all eventualities and feel in control of your birth.
"Bea helped me understand everything that would happen throughout labour, taught me all her hypnobirthing techniques to use which I used throughout my 51 hour labour and I don’t know if I could have done it without knowing what she taught me. We made a birth plan together and if something went wrong, I was prepared. Thankyou so much for helping me be the badass you call me Bea I’ll forever love you for helping me so much!"

A recorded workshop dedicated to giving you information and tips to get ready to feed your baby the way you want to with confidence
INFORM - CHOICE - EMPOWER
"Bea is amazing all things pre and post birth. She makes sure clients get the best, most informed and up to date research, I’ve learnt so much. She, without a doubt, knows so much about birth and sourced evidence-based information for me to make an informed choice. I couldn't write enough to give Bea justice. There are some very lucky families who will get to know this incredible lady!"

A little bit about me...
I had my first baby in 2017 and it wasn’t the best birth. I had no idea. I was the typical, head in the sand, "it'll work out" pregnant woman which ended in feeling out of control, lots of interventions and feeling crazy overwhelmed afterwards. I’d done no research in to breastfeeding so found that really difficult too as I had no clue.
I ended up becoming a peer supporter in 2018 and volunteered (and still do) weekly at the Melton Breastfriends Support Group. I continued on training and did another peer supporters course with The Association of Breastfeeding Mothers and then my breastfeeding counsellor course with them, where I answer the National Breastfeeding Helpline to people in need. Alongside this, I’m also an Infant Feeding Support Worker within the community in the NHS.
When me and my husband started talking about maybe having another baby, I decided things would be different. I dived headfirst in to research, reading, podcasts and learning to give me a better chance at a positive birth experience. It was another two years until we decided to officially have another baby and it took lots of work to change my mindset. I did hypnobirthing, hired a doula and had an incredible home birth with Leicestershire home birth team in December 2022 with no interventions needed and felt totally in control and badass!
I became obsessed with all things birth and helping others to be informed too. So it was only right to train as a hypnobirthing instructor with The Birth Uprising. When you take a course with me, you also get access to their digital pack which is fantastic!
If you're wanting an antenatal teacher that's going to hum, wave incense around and meditate for 2 hours, I'm not the person for you. I don't shy away from information, I tackle it head on and let you use your own (very functioning) brains to work out what's right for you by knowing your birth rights. Whether you're birthing at St Mary's Birth Centre, in Leicester, Nottingham, or with the home birth team (or beyond that), we've got you covered!
