Hello, welcome! I'm Jessica! I believe that no matter what birth you dream of having, whether that may be a planned calm cesarean or a home-birth surrounded by your family, you deserve the most positive experience.
Founded in 2018 following the birth of my son, Everest, The Calm Mama Co endeavors to give you the tools to have a positive pregnancy and Hypnobirthing experience, along with support during the early months of parenthood whether this is your first or fifth baby.
i believe every mum and her birth partner should feel secure in their decisions, educated in their choices and powerful during pregnancy, labour and parenthood.
Throughout pregnancy I studied hypnobirthing and relished in the power I felt it gave me. Equipped with the correct techniques and the knowledge to enable me to make informed choices I went in to my sons birth with full confidence in myself. I had planned to have a home-birth but things didn't quite go to plan, when my waters released I noticed that they weren't as clear as I would of liked. I rang the labour ward and we went in for monitoring. After what felt like the longest few minutes of my life I was told I could either go home as baby was doing well or move in to a private delivery room. At this point my internal gut feeling kicked in and for reasons unknown to anyone at the time, I chose to stay in hospital.
Two hours later Everest came into our world. What followed was a mixture of a post-partum haemorrhage, a transfer to theatre for placenta removal and a blood transfusion. Hypnobirthing enabled me to remain calm, controlled and gave me the mental strength to face whatever came my way.
I love sharing the knowledge with future parents and know from first hand experience that even if things don't go the way you imagined, Hypnobirthing will always give you skills to get you through!
