Description

Birth can feel daunting, especially when so much of what you hear about it is negative. The Hypnobirthing Podcast is a place to hear something different.

I’m Claire Fulton, a hypnobirthing teacher, doula and mum of two. Each episode brings you honest conversations, inspiring guests, practical hypnobirthing tools and positive birth stories to help you feel more informed, supported and confident about your own birth.

Whether you’re pregnant and curious about hypnobirthing or simply looking for a reassuring space, you’re welcome here.
