Hypnobirthing
Bringing a new life into the world is one of the most transformative experiences you’ll ever have. Hypnobirthing helps you approach birth feeling calm, informed and in control — releasing fear and building trust in your body, your baby and the process of birth itself.
Clients are often surprised to learn that it truly is educational, allowing them to make empowered and well-informed decisions that benefit both themselves and their baby.
At Arigato for Wellbeing, I offer a gentle, supportive space where you and your birth partner can learn proven techniques to reduce anxiety, manage sensations and prepare for a positive birth — whatever path your journey takes.
A calm, confident and positive approach to birth
What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing combines relaxation, breathing techniques, mindfulness and education to help you feel empowered and confident throughout pregnancy and birth.
Rather than being something you “do” during labour, it’s a mindset you develop,
one that replaces fear with calm, and uncertainty with trust.
I am a fully accredited KGHypnobirthing practitioner, teaching directly from this respected, evidence-based programme while also weaving in additional tools and techniques that make my classes unique, holistic and deeply supportive.
Why choose me?
Becoming a mum has been one of the greatest privileges of my life, and supporting others as they begin their own journey into parenthood fills me with joy.
Although I didn’t know about hypnobirthing when I first gave birth, I instinctively stayed calm and focused on my breath — trusting my body and tuning out distractions.
Looking back, I now realise I was naturally doing what KGHypnobirthing teaches: connecting with your body, your baby, and the power of calm, confident birth.
With a background in teaching and a deep understanding of emotional wellbeing, I’m passionate about helping families feel informed, supported and empowered.
My courses combine KGHypnobirthing’s accredited, evidence-based techniques with compassionate, holistic care.
Hypnobirthing isn’t just for one type of birth — it’s for everyone, whether you’re planning to welcome your baby at home, in a birth centre, or in hospital. It helps you:
-
Understand how your body works in labour
-
Release fear and tension through relaxation and hypnosis
-
Make informed choices for you and your baby
-
Feel calm, confident, and in control
As a solution-focused hypnotherapist, I also bring tools to support your emotional wellbeing, self-trust and connection with your baby. Optional intuitive healing sessions can help deepen relaxation and ease any lingering tension or anxiety.
My own path to motherhood has shaped how I teach. Having experienced both joy and loss, I understand how varied the journey can be — and I hold space for every story with kindness, compassion and care.
Each course is designed to help you feel grounded, confident and supported, so you can prepare for the positive, empowering birth you deserve.
Course Options
I offer both group and one-to-one courses, which are available both in person and online, so you can choose the format that suits you best:

Client Story: A Calm, Empowering Birth
"We honestly can’t thank Sarah enough for the support she gave us in the lead up to our son’s birth. Thanks to her guidance, my wife was able to have the calm, unmedicated VBAC she’d hoped for.
Throughout the pregnancy, Sarah coached us with hypnobirthing techniques, audio tracks, and Reiki sessions. When labour started, my wife stayed incredibly calm and focused, breathing through each surge and only heading to hospital once she was already 8cm dilated.
The midwives couldn’t believe how in control she was, and I’m certain that’s down to Sarah’s support. She didn’t just help my wife feel confident, she also made sure I felt fully prepared to support her. That made all the difference when it mattered most.
We are so grateful to Sarah for helping us achieve such a positive and empowering birth. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel calm, capable, and supported as they welcome their baby into the world.”

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“I have been going to Sarah for a few months. I've had hypnoreiki to start with to help with my eating and have also been having hypnotherapy too (which I didn't realise) to help with anxiety. I can honestly say, it and Sarah are amazing! I now have started eating different things and have started going to car meets, taking photos of the cars and set up my own Instagram page with my photos on. Without Sarah I wouldn't be able to approach the other car owners to ask about taking photos of their cars!”

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“My wife, who sadly suffers from Alzheimer's, had reiki with Sarah, after her treatment, she said it was lovely, so relaxing and she felt as if she was floating on air. Afterwards, she was calm and slept through the night and she's now looking forward to her next session! Thank you Sarah!”

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"I visited Sarah last Sunday as I was having issues sleeping or getting back to sleep at night. She was confident she could help me and she was right!!
I have had many good nights sleep since seeing Sarah and if I do wake up, I can drop off again quickly. It has made a huge difference to how I feel in the day. I will be visiting again soon (hopefully) to ensure this trend continues and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!"

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I wasn't able to eat after rugby matches and I needed to for recovery. Hypnoreiki has sorted that. It has also improved my performance on the pitch!
