My Journey
I am Natalie, the founder of Inner Muse Birthing, I am a Qualified & experienced Midwife, mother to a wonderful 10 year old son, hypnobirthing teacher of the Wise Hippo programme and Doula, my goal is to empower pregnant women and their partners, to have the ultimate positive birthing experience.
​
As a mum I know what it is like to be terrified of birth, to suffer a miscarriage and to have anxiety and fear around pregnancy and birth.
​
As a midwife I have seen how debilitating fear can make women and their partners and how it can change the complete outcome of their birthing experience.
​
The fear behind childbirth is ever increasing, there is more information out in the media and social media and it is as scary for first time mums as it is for those mothers whom have had previous traumatic experiences.
​
Within my role as a hypnobirthing teacher I equip women and their families with antenatal knowledge and the hypnobirthing tools to keep themselves calm and relaxed throughout their pregnancy and birth, enabling them to have the right birth for them on the day.
​
As a hypnobirthing teacher I have seen the difference I can make for women, giving them their confidence back and their belief in their own abilities. I have seen the tools and techniques in action and I have seen women turn those fears away and take control of their birthing experience whilst enjoying it at the same time.

What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a deep state of relaxation. It is guided relaxation, whilst in a heightened state of awareness. It allows the mind to block out any distractions, negative or anxious feelings and focus the minds attention to concentrate and enable the placement of suggestive positive thoughts.
​
Stage hypnosis has unfortunately given hypnosis an inaccurate reputation, where people visualise participants on stage being asked to do embarrassing activities. When in fact hypnosis is a natural state of trance we all go into on a daily basis, i.e. daydreaming, whilst watching a movie or reading a book or any time we are so engrossed in something we block everything else out and only focus on that thought. How many times have you driven somewhere and wondered how you got there? When you cannot remember your route, because you were daydreaming, but yet you arrived safely. With hypnosis you can decide at any time not to participate, you have total control.
The aim of hypnobirthing is to block out those fears or negative thoughts and replace them with positive beliefs. It is to build confidence, with childbirth education and help the woman to remain calm and relaxed, with her new self-hypnosis tools, giving her full control of her mind and body. It enables a woman to have emotional and physical relaxation, enabling her body to do its job and for her to trust and listen to her body during the process.
Testimonials
After suffering a miscarriage previously at 12 weeks I was so anxious about everything. Natalie helped me to overcome this with techniques I used in the night when I woke up. Using the thought exchange and going to my happy place are just some of the techniques I used. Every night listening to my MP3 helped me to relax and get to sleep. I found the MP3s really useful and have them downloaded, ready to use when I am in labour.
Learning the breathing techniques 5,4,3,2,1 has made me feel in control and ready to take on the surges.
Even though this is our second child it refreshed our memories of what to expect during labour. The course gave my partner more involvement and a purpose on the day. He now feels he can support and offer me more help during labour. He really enjoyed the course as well.
We both feel so much more relaxed, calm and excited about giving birth. I feel so positive and prepared this time round.
I cannot thank Natalie enough, she has gone above and beyond to help me. I feel I could message Natalie any worries I had and she would help me. Each session was very clear and made enjoyable. A massive bonus is Natalie is a qualified midwife.
I cannot wait to meet our baby and have a positive birth experience thanks to Natalie.
1-2-1 hypnobirthing course
"Through my hypnobirthing sessions with Natalie she was great at giving me the confidence to deal with whatever was thrown at me during my labour. This was even more crucial when my natural water birth didn’t go to plan and I needed to be induced and then subsequently required an emergency csection. Instead of using the hypnobirthing techniques Natalie had taught me for labour, I used them throughout my induction which was a very long and anxiety provoking time. In addition I used the techniques for the waiting period before going into theatre for my csection which again was a scary and anxious time for me. Not only did the techniques help me but also Natalie gave me lots of practical advice on how to be my own advocate and speak up for what I could control during my birth. She also helped my husband understand the crucial role he played in the birth of our daughter. I would not hesitate to use Natalie’s services again if we have another child as I would never have had such a positive birth experience without her support. ."
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us throughout the hypnobirthing course. We really enjoyed it! I’m such an anxious person and my anxiety affects so many different parts of my life. After hearing nothing but negative and scary stories I was feeling so anxious and scared about giving birth. Thanks to everything you have taught me and all the tools I now have I feel much more positive and now know I have decisions I can make for myself. You were amazing so thank you for everything. I think the fact that you have your midwifery background as well is such a benefit to those you teach.

GROUP HYPNOBIRTHING COURSE
I cannot recommend Natalie enough. After a difficult labour with my first child, I was eager to give hypnobirthing a go to hopefully feel more prepared for my second labour experience. With our sessions being held over zoom, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to connect with the syllabus but Natalie was fantastic and made us feel so comfortable from the start. It was impossible not to connect with the idea of hypnobirthing! The sessions were both interactive, and relaxing. I don’t think there was one session where I didn’t fall asleep! With the breathing and coping mechanisms taught by Natalie, I was able to stay at home throughout my entire labour - making it just in time for my little one to narrowly avoid being born in the car park!! For anyone wondering whether to give this a go, I would urge you to do it!
