A practicing midwife for 20 years, Eleanor helps mums prepare for childbirth and regularly works with pregnant couples with a previous negative experience of childbirth. She’s also a hypnotherapist and offers parents support for managing any situation.
I’m an expert who specialises in:
Are you feeling anxious about the forthcoming birth of your baby? If so, I can help you banish those fears, so you can look forward to the birthing experience.
In my private practice, I work with women and their partners to help them manage the labour and birth, so it’s how they want it to be. it is possible to bridge the gap fro what you would like and what you actually experience but there are specific skills to ensure this becomes true . By teaching a combination of relevant information, relaxation, and visualisation techniques, I can show you how birth is an experience that can be both managed and enjoyed.
In addition to my private practice, I work at a midwife-led unit in the NHS, supporting many water births. I also work with women following traumatic birth - this may be just after the experience or in a subsequent pregnancy. I am a specialist midwife and work to help women make an empowered decision for their next birth following a c- section , whether this be a vaginal birth or an elective ceasarean .
what I know is that its crucial to be confident and at times assertive , to safeguard you and your unborn baby , your emotional and physical wellbeing and that needs to stay intact .
