YOUR BIRTH. YOUR POWER. YOUR DOULA.
Antenatal education, birth pool hire and so much more…
Powerfully Prepared Pregnancy
You don’t arrive here because you’re casual about birth. You arrive because something in you knows that how you step into parenting this baby matters.
You might be early on – still finding your feet, still googling at midnight, still trying to work out who to trust and where to begin. Or you might be further along, feeling time tick louder, sensing that winging it no longer feels like an option.
What you’re really looking for isn’t more information. It’s clarity. Confidence. Wisdom gained through experience.
This is pregnancy support for women who want to feel powerful, not passive. For women who want to understand what’s happening in their bodies, make decisions from a place of self-trust, and walk into birth feeling resourced – mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Whether we meet one-to-one or in a group, my work is about stripping away noise and reconnecting you to your own inner authority. We slow things down enough for you to actually integrate what you’re learning. We make space for questions that don’t fit neatly into a checklist. We prepare for birth in a way that lives in your body, not just your head.
Read more below to find out more about the many ways I can support you - antenatal education, relaxation sessions, birth pool hire and much, much more.
SUPPORT THAT SPANS THE WHOLE JOURNEY
ANTENATAL CLASSES & POWER PREP CALLS
This isn’t basic, box-ticking antenatal classes.
My group sessions are immersive, multi-focus experiences – more like a retreat than a class – designed to help everything land in your body, not just your notes app. One-to-one antenatal education is completely bespoke, shaped around you, your questions and your birth preferences, with elements of virtual doula care woven in.
Power Prep calls offer short, focused bursts of support when you’re facing a specific decision, wobble or change of plan and want clarity, confidence and grounded guidance.
PREGNANCY RELAXATION
These sessions are an invitation to step out of your head and back into your body. A mixture of aromatherapy, biomechanics and hypnobirthing.
Perfect as a gift or as intentional support for yourself, pregnancy relaxation sessions are ideal for confidence wobbles, nervous system overload or easing third-trimester aches and pains.
Each session is bespoke, combining guided relaxation with hands-on biomechanics and body-based techniques to help you feel calmer, more comfortable and more connected as you prepare for birth.
BIRTH KIT HIRE
Birth kit hire, made simple.
I offer thoughtfully curated birth pool kits alongside practical tools that genuinely support labour – including TENS machines, combs and aromatherapy blends tailored to your journey.
Everything is organised, explained and packaged with ease, so you’re not piecing things together from five different places.
Available for families across Manchester and Stockport who want practical support without the overwhelm.
BIRTH POOL kit HIRE. SIMPLE.
Thinking about a water birth but the logistics feel like another whole to-do list you don’t have space for? My birth pool hire takes the stress out of pool logistics so you can focus on what matters: feeling held, supported and ready for your labour.
For £140, you’ll receive a complete birth pool kit for six weeks around your due date — everything you need to create a warm, buoyant environment for your birth at home. The kit includes an oval or round pool, liner, hose with adaptors, water and air pumps, and a thermometer — all thoroughly cleaned and prepared so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Longer hire periods can be arranged if you want more time with it.
You can also add optional extras to tailor your birth space to your preferences: a TENS machine for drug-free pain support, carefully curated aromatherapy kits for atmosphere and relaxation, labour combs for comfort techniques, and other tools that help you meet your birth with confidence and calm. These extras are there to support your body’s physiology — not overwhelm your to-do list.
Birth pool hire from me means practical support with ease and clarity, delivered locally for families around Manchester and Stockport, without you having to piece things together from different places.
Pregnancy Relaxation — Calm, Embodied Support for the Final Stretch
The last stretch of pregnancy can feel heavy in every sense of the word - it’s not just your body that’s expanding, it’s your nervous system, your thoughts, your responsibilities, your anticipation, and sometimes, your worries. You might be noticing tight shoulders, restless nights, or that loop of “Am I ready?” that won’t shut up. This isn’t a small thing — it’s real, it’s physical, and it deserves compassionate, body-wise support.
Pregnancy relaxation sessions are designed for women who want to drop out of overwhelm and back into ease. These aren’t generic breathing exercises on repeat; they are bespoke, person-centred sessions that blend guided relaxation with hands-on biomechanics and somatic support so your body actually learns how to settle. Together we’ll help your nervous system soften, your pain patterns ease, and your attention come back into your body — which is exactly where you’ll want it for both birth and the weeks that follow.
Whether you’re navigating third-trimester aches, confidence wobbles, sleep disruption, or just the weight of it all, these sessions give you space to feel held rather than rushed. They make room for your breath, your pause, your nervous system learning a new rhythm — one that supports comfort, calm and embodied confidence as you move toward birth. These sessions are 1hr30 and the exchange is £250.
ANTENATAL CLASSES & POWER PREP CALLS
This isn’t generic antenatal education. I blend evidence-based birth prep with real-world wisdom so you don’t just know things — you feel confident in them.
My antenatal work combines the depth of hypnobirthing practice with practical insight into how birth actually unfolds, sowing confidence into your body as well as your mind.
Whether you choose the warm community of a retreat-style group experience or a fully bespoke one-to-one course tailored to you and your partner, you’ll gain clarity on the science of birth, tools for comfort and pain management, and the knowledge to navigate the maternity system on your terms.
Expect real-world techniques, mindset strength, and conversations that help you make informed choices about your pregnancy, labour and life beyond birth.
Complementing this, Power Prep Calls are short, focused virtual doula sessions designed for when you need clarity around a specific challenge, choice or “what if?”. We’ll unpack what you’ve been told, explore your options with nuance, and help you feel powerful again — all from the comfort of your couch. These calls are about you and your unique journey, giving you space to ask the questions that matter most and walk away grounded and prepared.
This antenatal education is trusted, five-star rated, and designed to change how you feel about birth. Clients leave no longer bracing themselves or handing things over blindly, but feeling grounded, informed and ready to meet their birth on their own terms — whatever that looks like. This is preparation that puts you back in the driver’s seat.
Birth Education With Depth, Trust and Choice at the Centre
UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE OF BIRTH
Most basic birth prep will have you facing birth like it’s a magical list of options…not me!
The foundation of every bit of antenatal wisdom shares starts with the science - from what happens to your body and why, the intricate roles of muscle, hormone and nervous system and so much more.
If you want to understand what’s actually going to happen, why and how then this is a perfect starting point.
NAVIGATING THE NHS SYSTEM
The NHS can be a maze – full of protocols, paperwork, and pressure to comply. I know the system well, and more importantly, I know how to help you move through it with clarity, confidence, and sovereignty.
I bring a deep understanding of NHS policies, language, and pathways, which means I can help you decode the options, navigate your choices, and communicate effectively with your care providers.
THE TOOLS TO SMASH IT
Society tells you to just whack on a hypnobirthing track and some breathing and you’re good to go. That, or just have an epidural and it’s go swimmingly…
Here’s the thing, birth is a process that thrives when the conditions are right.
There’s so many tools and a whole ladder of pain relief to explore. In my courses we start with hypnobirthing, but layer in all the hands on and medical options too.
induction and c-section
Informed choices mean understanding the full landscape of your options and all of the considerations that come with those options.
My antenatal education looks at the reality of these choices, the processes and protocols around them.
It also looks at ways to make these choices as YOU focused as possible, supporting you whatever birth you choose.
Advocacy & birth partners
Who you have in the room has the power to fundamentally transform your birth experience.
Through workshops, scenario planning and scripts, your birth partner is going to feel informed, in control and ready to stand up for your needs.
Add into that the hands on techniques they’ll learn from an experienced doula, and they’ll be feeling excited to support you.
Fourth trimester
Let’s get one thing straight, the threshold of birth is just the start. I’m always baffled how parents are sent home and left in the dark.
If you want to understand exactly what to do and expect when your little human arrives - this is the place for you.
From feeding, to sleep, to baby care - you’ll go into those sleepless nights feeling prepared and calm.

Changed my life!
“Not to be dramatic, but the birth of my 2nd baby has literally changed my life, and Hannah played a huge part in this. I felt so powerfully prepared for the birth of my baby, that all my dreams came true when I had my VBAC at home. With Hannah in my birth space, I felt so safe and supported to trust my body to do what it needed to do.
I have described this experience as ‘this is how it’s meant to be’ to anyone who will listen.”Lucy

Genuinely transformative
"I’m not overstating it by saying that Hannah is the reason we had an amazing, positive birth. I genuinely can’t imagine feeling more supported or cared for - Hannah is undoubtedly called to working as a doula and my husband, myself and my daughter will never ever forget how she transformed our experience from one of fear and stress to one of beauty and joy."

Worth her weight in gold
“Hannah was a rock. I could not have done it without her. I would pay 100x more to Hannah for what she has done for me & my family. Hannah provided me with the ability & confidence to have the healing birth that I needed. In the words of my husband: “I don’t think anyone should have to give birth without Hannah being there.””

our wonderful doula
“She brought such a calm and reassuring presence, which allowed me to focus fully on birthing my baby while she gently took care of everything else. She made me feel safe, supported, and truly cared for — I honestly couldn’t have done it without her. She is calming, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful — I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who truly goes above and beyond.”

I'm so glad we met hannah
"She educated and filled us with so much confidence to go on and have the most incredible home birth. Her presence at birth put me at so much ease and made me feel very calm & relaxed. She knew exactly when I needed her and listened to me and my Husband through the whole process.”

Hannah is the best
“ Hannah is not only an amazing Doula but she's a wonderful person. She was a joy to talk to and spend time with, meaning we felt incredibly comfortable with her being around for the three days that led up to Billy's arrival. We went into the hospital armed with everything we needed to ensure that we could have the experience that we wanted and protect our birth plan and rights. She made my wife feel calm, empowered and ready for the incredible challenge that is childbirth. We feel we have gained a wonderful friend.”
