Welcome to The Hypno Doula blog — where birth meets evidence, informed choice and the occasional bit of bullshit detectionWelcome to The Hypno Doula blog — where birth meets evidence, informed choice and the occasional bit of bullshit detection.
I'm a doula, hypnobirthing teacher, hypnotherapist and self-confessed research geek who believes that just because something has always been done that way doesn't mean we shouldn't question it.
Here you'll find practical birth preparation, honest conversations, research-backed information and a few uncomfortable questions about the things we're often told to accept without question.
From hypnobirthing and caesareans to induction, birth rights and what the research actually says, we'll explore the evidence, challenge the myths and acknowledge when the answers aren't quite so straightforward.
And when something doesn't stand up to scrutiny?
I call bullshit.
Not on your birth choices. Not on your healthcare professionals. On misinformation, outdated assumptions and claims that don't have the evidence to back them up.
Because you deserve information, not just instructions. Choices, not pressure. And support that respects whatever birth looks like for you.
I've read the research. And I've got questions..
