Hello, I’m Kerry.
Firstly congratulations on your pregnancy, exciting and overwhelming in equal measures. Secondly welcome to Beautiful Births, you can find me in Cumbria, South Lakes. I am a registered Nurse with over 18 years experience, married to Paddy and mum to two beautiful children.
Following a five-year struggle with secondary infertility, including several rounds of IVF. And a previous C-section 9 years earlier with my son. It was important to feel I had some control over my second ‘high risk’ labour and delivery.
I was determined not to let my nerves run the show. Hypnobirthing enabled me to view my labour and birth calmly. Having a in depth understanding of what my body was doing during labour felt greatly empowering. It enabled me to stay confident and in the moment throughout my labour, focusing on the breathing techniques and trusting in myself and my body.
In reality I have never experienced such elation and self-accomplishment as I did following the birth of my daughter. Literal super women feeling!
In fact that feeling is something I wish I could bottle and share with every pregnant lady I meet.
I chose to become a Calm Births teacher to be part of something wonderful. To share my knowledge with other mums to be, supporting birthing teams to welcome their own new arrivals. I feel privileged to be in position to share my positive experiences and empower women to feel confident, relaxed and excited to achieve their own beautiful birth.
I am so passionate about empowering women I am also Teacher support mentor for other amazing Calm Births teachers.
You can find me on Facebook and Instagram and in person covering Cumbria and the South Lakes.
