What do I do?

How can I help you?

Maybe, your first or previous conception, pregnancy, labour, birth or postnatal experience left you feeling broken, disappointed, sad, scared or less of the parent or person you thought you would be.

Maybe you feel as though your body let you down, you failed or are failing, or you were failed by your care providers or birthing partner/s.

Maybe your experience triggered previous trauma that you might not even have known was there and you were frightened- or you are afraid of that happening.

It can be even more difficult to believe in yourself and your body’s abilities after a difficult or traumatic experience, but I’m here to tell you that it’s not impossible, and I know how to help you.

I know, because I was you.

I also know that it is possible to feel different, that you can plan for the birth you deserve, and you can feel empowered, and even transformed by your birth, and it can set you on a path to deeper healing.

I offer different levels of support to suit different circumstances and needs, my main offerings are here on this page, but go to the book now link to see additional ways of working with me including a Zoom workshop for your birth partner, and sibling sessions in your home for your other children.

Birth Empowerment Course £25

The Birth Empowerment course is suitable for all pregnancies with no hypnobirthing experience necessary. It could also serve as a great refresher for those who have done hypnobirthing before or to accompany an online hypnobirthing course or your own self-study.

The well-established and highly recommended 6 session course has been designed to build your confidence and knowledge as well as learning that all-important skill of relaxation which will support you during labour (and beyond!).

The sessions cover the following;

Challenging Perceptions, Choice, Control, Calm, Comfort and Confidence

This is not a hypnobirthing course, but it does use the hypnobirthing philosophy and techniques.

This course is no longer available as a live course, but has been pre-recorded for your convenience, with downloads and MP3s included.

When you buy access via the thinkific website, you can view the content for up to 3 months, giving you plenty of time to revisit it before your baby arrives AND you can claim a complimentary video chat with me to discuss your personal situation (worth £50).

 

Full ‘Plan for the Birth you Deserve’ Hypnobirthing Course

Private £444 Small Group £244

12 hours of trauma-informed and personalised antenatal education either via zoom or in person, or a mixture of the two.

Hypnobirthing with Simply Natal changes the way you see birth and the way you see yourself.

If your healing birth feels too far out of reach, I’m here to show you how to make it possible.

This is the same content and support that my doula clients prepare with and I can’t wait to get started because I know the difference it makes (take a look at my blog for some examples).

I have just a handful of spaces per year, so please get in touch as early as you can if you prefer to do this course privately (either in person or online).

If a group course suits you better you can join the group waiting list here Join the Group course waiting list

 
 

In Person ‘Healing Birth’ Doula Full Support Package £1899

A Birth Doula provides support and guidance for any type of birth.

Evidence tells us that women, birthing people and families are more satisfied with their birth experience when they have a Birth Doula supporting them before and during their birth.

In person ‘Healing Birth’ Doula services are available for up to 6 families per year, to grab one of those places please get in touch to arrange your FREE initial consultation to make sure we are the right match.

The Simply Natal ‘Healing Birth’ Doula Support Package includes a private Hypnobirthing course, virtual doula support for the rest of your pregnancy, and 6 weeks of postnatal support (with at least 1 in-person visit) as well as personalised in-person support throughout your labour and birth.

My special interest is supporting people to birth following a difficult or traumatic perinatal experience, but subject to availability, places may be given to first-time parents or those with different circumstances.

This package is the most personalised way to work with me and is available for births planned to take place in or around Skelmersdale, Ormskirk, Formby, Southport, Wigan, St Helens and Liverpool, (If you are a bit further afield we can still chat about how I can support you.)

Your suggested investment is £1899*, with accessibility options available on discussion. You can secure your booking with a deposit of £444, and spread the remaining balance across a number of months agreed mutually.

*If paying (or paying full price) for a birth doula is not an option for you, I’d encourage you to get in touch anyway, and if I can’t help you myself I’ll try to signpost you to other support.

 

A free 30 minute Chat with Sheryl is available if you would like to discuss what course or service suits your needs best (or if you’d just like to talk through things).

Running out of time? If you don’t have time to complete a course but you are unsure about your options or how to plan for the birth you deserve then book a Birth Planning Video Call for £50 and I’ll help you feel more prepared and confident.
