Hello
I’m Caitlin
Birth changes you — and so does becoming a mother.
I’m deeply passionate about honouring that transformation, and creating safe, welcoming spaces where you can explore the feelings, emotions, challenges and wonder that come with this tender chapter of life.
My work supports you not only in preparing for birth, but in navigating early motherhood and everything that unfolds.
Through my birth preparation sessions, baby massage & baby yoga classes, creative maternal journaling workshops, and mum & baby retreats, I hold spaces for connection, reflection, creativity and community, for both you and your baby.
Supporting you through pregnancy, birth, and into early motherhood is my passion. I see this transition as a powerful opportunity for deep personal growth; a time to reconnect with yourself as you meet this new version of you.
It’s my intention that you move through this chapter feeling informed, supported, and gently held. After all, you are doing the most extraordinary job there is!
Away from my work, you’ll usually find me in or near the sea or on as long a walk as I can get away with. We moved our young family from London to Cornwall in early 2023, and we’re happiest outdoors with the boys darting through the woods or leaping over waves at the beach. My eldest has additional needs, and I openly share the wild twists and turns of life as a SEN parent.
If you’d like to connect, you can book a free call below to ask any questions and see how I might support you.

what is hypnobirthing?
Let’s be honest, it could do with a rebrand. The name suggests it’s all swaying clocks and sleepwalking into your birth. I can assure you, it's absolutely neither of those things.
Hypnobirthing is an approach to birth preparation that begins by looking at your mindset and acknowledges that how we feel about birth is likely going to impact how our bodies behave in birth.
Hypnobirthing encourages you to get curious about what is happening to your mind and body in labour and arms you with a tool kit of techniques designed to help you meet birth feeling calm, confident and in control.
Yes it’s all the things you may have heard about; breathing techniques, visualisations, affirmations, fear releasing, anchors, relaxation, hypnobirthing tracks – we will delve deep into each of these as part of the course. But these techniques work best when we understand what is going on in the brain and body so my sessions also include plenty of exploration around the physiology or birth, biomechanics and how to tend to our nervous system.
Birth can be unpredictable but there is plenty we can do to prepare for it. Connecting to your self-trust, building your knowledge, getting a grasp of the maternity system and placing any decision-making power firmly with you and your birth partner is going to serve you so well, however your birth unfolds.
