hey gorgeous mama!

I’M ellie!

My name is Ellie. I am a birth educator, Hypnobirthing teacher and antenatal instructor living in rural Northumberland.

I am a wife, mother of two feral children, snuggler of a big yellow labrador named Bosun and a copious drinker of tea!

My goal is for you to go into the birth of your baby feeling confident, empowered and informed. I believe in the power of natural birth and I want to share that knowledge with you.

Using a unique combination of Hypnobirthing and mindfulness techniques, I help you approach this transitional event of your life with strength and courage.

My two births couldn’t have been more different, and that contrast changed everything for me. In 2018, when I had my first baby, I did zero preparation—no antenatal courses, no hypnobirthing, no birth plan, nothing.

I went in clueless, just assuming birth would be how it looks on TV: chaotic, painful, and out of control. I had no idea how to work with my body, manage sensations, or make informed decisions, and the experience left me feeling overwhelmed and powerless.

By the time I was pregnant with my second baby in 2022, I knew I had to do things differently. I threw myself into hypnobirthing, made a detailed birth plan, and researched my options. That preparation transformed everything: I had the calm, empowering home birth of my dreams in my little stone cottage in Northumberland.

It felt like a life-changing, goddess-level experience that taught me to trust my body again. The incredible difference between my two births made me passionate about sharing this knowledge.

Now, as a Hypnobirthing and Antenatal Teacher, I’m dedicated to helping women feel informed, confident, and empowered for their own life-changing birth journeys.

why hypnobirthing?
