Hello. I am Josey, the founder of Birthing Bubble.
The birth of my daughter in 2014 inspired my love of pregnancy and birth. It sparked a desire to support other women to feel in control and empowered when it comes to making choices about their own pregnancy and birth.
When I found out I was pregnant, I started to become aware of the amount of negativity and fear associated with birth and I was surprised by people’s need to share their worst birth stories with me. I decided to seek out positive alternatives and came to discover there were hundreds of wonderful birth experiences out there. I started to focus my attention on these.
This, and the use of physical and mental relaxation techniques throughout my pregnancy, helped me to feel at ease with complete confidence in my body’s ability to birth my baby naturally. I went on to have a birth experience which my husband and I both found to be calm and blissful.
After this, I wanted to become involved in trying to change the negative feelings and preconceptions that we seem to have created as a society.
Hypnobirthing was the perfect way to do this.
Not only does hypnobirthing encourage feelings of positivity around birth, but it helps women and their birth partners feel informed and confident about the choices they may encounter before, during and after labour.
Hypnobirthing helps mothers realise they already have the perfect system needed to birth their baby and allows them to feel relaxed and able to let their body to do what it has been designed to do.
I trained to become a hynobirthing teacher with Katharine Graves Hynobirthing, which is accredited to the Royal College of Midwives.
