About Elodie

Hi I’m Elodie!

I know if you are anything like me when I was pregnant you are …

-  Full of questions and anxiety

-    Envisioning a birth experience where you are calm and in control of your environment but are unsure if you can prepare for this.

-   Wanting more support

The good news is I will be able to help you with all of this …

Let me start by telling you a little bit about myself and how I ended up here.   I am a 29-year-old Mommy and qualified Hypnobirthing instructor. Considering that my academic background is in law it may seem strange that I have ended up venturing into birth work.  But I have been so fascinated with everything pregnancy and baby related. This only intensified when I became pregnant with my little one.

 I had heard of Hypnobirthing before – however once I had started delving into it, I was so amazed by how my body was Wonderfully Made to birth my baby. Learning about the physiology of birth and how the birth hormones helped me to become more confident about my body and it’s capabilities. I was aware that births don’t always go to plan and was able to prepare myself and my birth partners to work together with my care providers to ensure that I had a positive experience whatever the outcome. Although it wasn’t picture perfect, I ended up having the most beautiful and euphoric water birth experience in the Midwife Led Unit.

 After having my daughter, I realised that I should stop putting things off and move toward my passions. I have trained with Little Birth company for Hypnobirthing and am working towards being able to support you in many other ways – watch this space!

Now, I know that you have many options when it comes to birth workers - so I understand that it may well come down to whether we click or not!  I am happy to have a chat with you to see how I will be able to support you. But I will also give you a little insight into me to see whether we may be a match or not:

-        I am a Mom of one. I breastfeed and I try my best to implement gentle/respectful parenting and Montessori education philosophies into my parenting. Happy to chat about these things if you would like but I also believe in parents choosing their own way in birthing, feeding and raising their babies. So, I won’t be looking to enforce any of my own views on you.

-        When I get time to watch anything, I love YouTube, trash tv and I especially love to find a good true crime documentary.

- I’m a walking contradiction in that I am a home body who also loves a holiday or day trip. I would absolutely love to travel more.

- I love almost all kinds of music and singing is my therapy

-        The bath is my happy place!
