Description
My name is Michelle Pearson, I am based in Stroud, Gloucestershire and became a fully qualified Hypnobirthing Practitioner in 2006, training originally with the American Mongan Method and then updated my training with the more UK based KGHypnobirthing. I have helped hundreds of couples achieve a calm, comfortable and gentle birth for themselves and their babies.
I became interested in birth after having my own two children, Ella and George who are now in their 20's! My first pregnancy was thrilling, I loved being pregnant and feeling all the amazing changes taking place in my body. Ella’s birth was at home, eight hours long and although a good experience, compared to many, it was intense from the start and I didn’t really have the understanding or the tools to support myself and so it took a long time to recover physically and emotionally. I began to realise how fearful we as women can become as we get closer to giving birth. I wanted to find a way of helping more women feel empowered and confident in their body’s natural ability. I began to dream of working in the birthing world and to be able to help women, their partners and babies have a more positive experience at this life changing time. (my grandmother was a midwife in India - perhaps it's in my genes!)
One day, whilst working in my job as a Production Manager on a women’s magazine, a chance conversation with a colleague and friend, led me to find out about Hypnobirthing. It’s philosophy and common sense approach reflected my own instinctive feelings of how birth could be and soon after I found myself training to become a Hypnobirthing Teacher. Since then I have helped hundreds of couples have calm, confident, positive birth experiences.
I hold a Practitioner Diploma in Integrative Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy and a Certificate in Cognitive Behavioral Hypnosis and NLP.
I completed my Doula training with 'Developing Doulas' in 2013 and became a recognised Birth Doula with Doula UK.
