About Me

I am Manu, a scientist, mum of two wonderful little boys, and a certified KGH hypnobirthing teacher. The first time I found out I was pregnant, of course my head went pretty quickly to the scary thing that stood between me and meeting my baby: the birth. I was resigned that it was going to be inevitably horrible, but that was how it had to be. Then I discovered hypnobirthing.

​

At the beginning I was sceptical. Several people had recommended it to me, including my midwife, but as a scientist I needed evidence, anecdotes were just not enough. So I started looking into it and doing my own research, and the more I read, the more I realised the principles on which hypnobirthing is based make complete scientific sense. So I signed myself and my husband up for a course, and we did not regret it. Hypnobirthing gave me understanding of the instincts I was feeling towards birth, but could not explain. It gave us the tools to create the best possible birth for us, one where all three of us (me, my husband and our baby) had a part to play, we were a team. 

​

The birth of our son was a wonderful and powerful experience. So much that it made me want to help other mothers create THEIR best possible birth: calm, relaxed, positive, powerful, whether it is a home or hospital birth, a vaginal birth or a cesarean section, their first or tenth child.
