• Calm Mum,

    Calm Baby,

    Calm Birth

    Learn to relax yourself, your body

    and your baby to achieve a calmer,

    easier and more comfortable birth.

    Birth is a sacred event.

    To make confident choices for you and your family throughout pregnancy and labor is a joy.

    To be in control of your body and your

    birthing experience is a right.

    When a woman is relaxed, when she is aware of her body and trusts in her nature she is free to access her true power-the innate instincts that drive the divine feminine-and free to birth as nature intended with confidence, calm and splendor.

  • Welcome

    Hi! My name is Brenda. I am an independent midwife and advocate of women's and children's health. Research shows unequivocally that infant health starts in the womb and that the health of a mother directly effects her baby's wellbeing and development.

    My mission is to help as many mothers as possible achieve optimal health from early pregnancy through the first year of baby's life. I help mothers to manage stress and anxiety and to prepare for birth. I also help them integrate the experience of motherhood and to overcome birth trauma.

     

    I have been involved in the birthing world for 30 years. I've attended births in 5 countries over 3 continents including Ireland, UK, France, Saudi Arabia and Rwanda and I've worked with women from all walks of life, from indigenous cultures to royals, I understand how hospitals work and have seen amazing differences in practices across hospitals and services both in Ireland and across the globe!

    Somatic Movement

    Somatics is really easy to do and suitable for everyone regardless of experience, age or level of flexibility. It involves using slow, mindful movement to become more aware of our bodies and minds, to release habitual patterns and to connect more deeply to our ourselves from within.

    Stress, trauma and injury cause tension in our muscles leading to stiffness, soreness and weakness. The body compensates leading to poor posture and habitual holding patterns, effecting our overall well-being and weakening our immune system..

    Somatic movement targets over-contracted muscles to release stress and trauma. It also creates awareness and rewires your brain to reconnect to tired muscles that have "forgotten" how to do their job.

    Somatics can help with stress, anxiety and chronic pain. It also really helps with core strength and posture and is effective for tight shoulders, diastasis recti, pelvic floor issues.

    CLASSES COMING SOON

    Up to 100% of the cost is covered by health insurance when you are trained in hypnobirthing by a registered midwife. Should you chose to receive private midwifery care the total cost is reembursible by insurance. Other services may also be partially covered.

  • Testimonials

  • Niamh

    After the hypnobirthing course I actually looked forward to the labor with a positive and energetic manner. I couldn’t wait to try out hypnobirthing for real. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it without any medical intervention. Hypnobirthing created a new sense of confidence and a totally different outlook on my ability to give birth in a calm and peaceful way".

    Anika

    "Knowing what was happening and visualizing where the baby was at different stages during birth was a huge advantage. We had a completely natural and pain and drug-free birth. Our baby fed within fifteen minutes having no side effects from drugs. Thanks to Brenda we brought a beautiful baby girl into the world without any pain relief and prepared for all eventualities. The Hypnobirthing techniques were absolutely invaluable."

    Gillian

    "Brenda was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I instantly felt as ease in her company. Brenda was so passionate about hypnobirthing it was impossible not to feel excited and positive about my body's strength and ability to birth my baby. With the tools Brenda had taught me, I was able to concentrate on the now and take each surge one by one. My third child was brought into a calm and peaceful environment and to this day has a placid and content personality."

    Melissa

    "Lucky to have found hypnobirthing. My partner and I went to the classes together and learned so much about the magic of birth as well as relaxation techniques and positive affirmations. Brenda gave us the confidence and calm we needed to achieve our goal of a natural birth."
