Hi, I’m Donna! Owner of The Birth Shed. I am so happy that you have found me and found Hypnobirthing!

What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a birth preparation method that is backed by science. It is (very) tried and tested and can reduce fear, pain and worry around labour and birth.
Hypnobirthing is for all births. Home births, hospital births, birth centre births, low risk births, high risk births, induction and caesarean births.
I became a mum to my son in 2022. Hypnobirthing is the reason I am not traumatised by my son’s birth experience. I am evidence that Hypnobirthing can work for ANY birth.
My Son’s birth was not what I had imagined AT ALL. My plan was a spontaneous labour and pool birth and instead I had an induction and a Caesarean birth due to being diagnosed with Pre-eclampsia.
A new passion was sparked inside of me the moment I learned about how much of a difference Hypnobirthing makes. I wanted to teach it to others, so I can spread the word! I want to prevent traumatic and negative birth experiences. Women deserve better. You deserve better! I am now a fully certified and accredited Hypnobirthing teacher and my courses help women have the birth they deserve, feeling calm and confident.
If birth can be better, and not only better, birth can be wonderful and amazing, then why not take the steps in achieving that, right? You won’t regret it. You have nothing to lose and only a wonderful and life-changing experience to gain.
