CALMA BIRTHING
I have met some wonderful people along my HypnoBirthing™ journey. Below you will find their websites.....why not take a look?
"And also a twice over HypnoBirthing™ Mummy which is why I have such empathy with my mums. Both my births were amazing and I put it all down to HypnoBirthing".
All in it together!
