Hypnobirthing Courses in Surrey

Hello, I’m Emma. I live in Merstham and teach hypnobirthing courses in Surrey at Calm Mama Collective.

Having started my career in academic Psychology and gaining a Masters degree in Applied Psychology whilst pregnant with my first-born, I came to the conclusion that being a psychologists within the NHS was not the right career path for me or my family. As I focused on raising a small human instead, my interest in the human mind took a backseat in favour of considering the pros and cons of different weaning methods and tackling challenges such as how to tie a baby sling around an already sleeping baby!

When I was pregnant with my second-born, I had a gut feeling that the birth could be different to the first one – which, although not a negative experience, was a confusing and chaotic birth. As a result, I took a hypnobirthing course in Surrey and realised that I had found my calling. Everything I had learned about the mind/body connection as a Psychology student clicked into place. It became clear that I needed to teach women – and their birth partners – about the incredible power that their mind has over their birthing body. Any woman, when armed with this knowledge, can have a calm, positive birth experience no matter the route their birth takes.

Thanks to taking a hypnobirthing course in Surrey, I experienced the most incredible birth. I am now passionate about teaching women how they can have a positive birth as well, no matter how their baby is born, whether it be in a birthing pool, at home, or via caesarean section.
