Complementary midwifery services
You, Your Bump & I, I am fully trained in Hypnobirthing, Aromatherapy for Childbirth and Birth Biomechanics, I can offer a range of complementary approaches to help you feel more informed, prepared and confident throughout your pregnancy and birth.
These approaches can provide you with practical tools and techniques to support relaxation, comfort, movement and confidence, while helping you understand your body and the physiology of birth.
My aim is to help you discover what works for you, so that you feel empowered to make informed choices and approach your birth with confidence.
Birth Biomechanics

My pre-recorded videos give you the flexibility to learn and practise in the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you.
Birth biomechanics is about understanding how your baby and your body work together during labour. Rather than there being one “perfect” position for birth, it’s about using movement, posture and different positions to create space and encourage your baby to move and rotate through the pelvis.
During pregnancy and labour, I can help you understand how your pelvis moves and how simple changes in your position can influence the space available within it. We can explore comfortable, practical positions and movements that may support your baby to find their way through the pelvis and help you feel more comfortable during labour.
This might include using upright positions, leaning, rocking, kneeling, hands and knees, side-lying or different pelvic movements. The aim is not to make you stay in a particular position, but to give you knowledge and a toolkit of options so you can listen to your body and choose what feels right for you.
Birth biomechanics is about working with your body and your baby, rather than trying to control how your birth unfolds.
Aromatherapy for childbirth

Aromatherapy can be a gentle, complementary way to support relaxation, comfort and wellbeing during labour. As part of my additional training in Aromatherapy for Childbirth, I can recommend suitable essential oils for your individual circumstances and prepare a personalised labour blend for you to use as part of your birth toolkit.
Your blend can be chosen with the aim of creating a calming and supportive environment during labour. Aromatherapy can be used alongside other comfort measures such as breathing techniques, massage, movement, water and different birth positions.
I will talk you through how your blend can be used safely and appropriately, taking into consideration your individual circumstances and any relevant NHS or medical advice.
