We were lucky enough to be able to book a one-to-one private course with Jade, & I am so glad we did.
We had heard about Jade from friends who had just had a baby & told us if it wasn’t for her they would
not have had the fantastic birth experience they had. We feel so fortunate that she was available when
we enquired, we knew how quickly she gets booked up.
Jade is so knowledgeable, what we learnt from her we would not have got anywhere else.
She really put us at ease, no question was silly. As a first-time mum, I wouldn’t have felt as
confident as I did when having my little boy if we hadn’t done the course with Jade.
We couldn’t be happier with how our home birth went,
Thank you, Jade, we would not have done it without you!
Georgia & Mark Reid
Welcome
& CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PREGNANCY!
Are you feeling excited about meeting your baby?
But nervous & unsure about how your Labour & Birth might go?
Finding it daunting to access reliable, information about birth in order to make the decisions which feel right for you?
Don't worry you have come to the right place!
My name is Jade I'm so glad you found me here !
Why? Because I can totally relate to how you are feeling.
Approaching the most momentous day of your life
can feel overwhelming, & I felt the same way
when I was having my first baby.
All that I heard about birth before & during my first pregnancy seemed to focus on the risks, unpredictability & potential trauma associated with childbirth. It left me concerned about my ability to cope & worried about the level of pain I might experience.
And don't get me started on all the horror stories that people were so keen to tell me & all the constant conflicting information!
Where do you find the right information for your situation & to make the right decisions for you?
Would something like hypnobirthing make a difference?
Was it worth creating a birth plan, & how will you know when you're in labour?
SO LET ME ASSURE YOU
you're not alone in feeling like this. For the past 6 years, I've had the privilege of preparing & supporting expectant parents through labour & birth, & every one of them started off feeling anxious & worried about their upcoming birth in some way,
just like I did. It's completely normal to have these feelings. Pregnancy & childbirth are transformative experiences that can bring about a mix of huge & conflicting emotions.
I HAVE SEEN FIRST-HAND
what a positive difference the right kind of birth preparation makes for my clients & those who attend
my classes. Having had 5 babies myself, I deeply understand what you truly need to know and what can make a significant difference in your labour & birth. And here's the best part: with the guidance, preparation & support my course provides, your worries can be alleviated. Together, we'll explore options, debunk myths, & find strategies that work best for you. ​Which means you will have everything you need to navigate your own unique & amazing birth experience.
MY ANTENATAL CLASSES PROVIDE
a thorough understanding of how your birthing body & mind works, alongside mindful preparation, relevant education & techniques to enhance your birthing physiology & increase your comfort in labour. But that's not all, I also recognise the importance of having the knowledge to know how best to navigate maternity services in Cheshire & how to make confident decisions for yourself & your baby. With my guidance, you & your partner will create your birth preference plan together, to ensure your voice is heard & your choices respected. Your partner will also play a crucial role, and I'll provide them with invaluable knowledge on how to provide unwavering support for you. We'll have discussions about creating a postnatal period that focuses on your recovery, as well as gaining an understanding what normal newborn behavior, sleep & feeding patterns look like. I'll support you along the way right up to your baby is born & welcome you to join my growing community of expectant parents, This will give you the opportunity to create meaningful friendships for yourself and your baby, connecting with others who are going through the same journey.
“Cannot express enough how valuable doing Jade’s Karma Birthing Group Course was.
We finished the course feeling really knowledgeable & actually excited about going into Labour.
Hand on heart, if it wasn’t for Jade & her course I don’t think the birth would have gone as well as it did.
She really wants you to have the best care from maternity services & to feel you had a really positive birth.
She tells you exactly what you need to know for your situation. The tools & techniques she taught us made me feel & stay calm throughout. I was able to trust my body & stay in my zone. The Midwives said they didnt realise how far along I was because I was so relaxed. My husband learnt so much about how to support me & he was brilliant, especially knowing how to communicate for me at the hospital.
I recommend Jade’s course to everyone having a baby now

REGARDLESS OF YOUR

every birth can feel safe, supported & joyful.

The main aim of my course is for you to go into Labour & Birth relaxed &
confident, knowing you are fully equipped with everything you need to have an

EXCEPTIONAL BIRTH & POSTNATAL PREPARATION
Karma Birthing is the ultimate Birth & Postnatal Prep Program combining modern Antenatal Education with a complete in-person Hypnobirthing Course. You'll not only receive reliable information you can trust but I will share exactly what you & your partner need to know to physically, mentally & practically prepare for Labour, Birth & the Postnatal period. The resources I provide will be relevant to you & my one-to-one support will ease your transition from pregnancy to parenthood guiding you every step of the way. Joining my monthly meetup group will give you the opportunity to share your journey with other local expectant parents.
NON JUDGEMENTAL, UNBIASED & IMPARTIAL
I want you to have the best birth experience possible & will support you whether you’d like a home birth, epidural or caesarean. I do not push any particular agenda & I am not affiliated with or have a responsibility to any company or organisation. What is important to me is that you feel informed, respected, listened to & feel completely safe & supported when you birth your baby. I aim to provide balanced & unbiased information & prepare you for any eventuality in labour to inspire you to feel amazing however your baby is born & whatever style of parenting they choose.
Making connections with other local parents who have babies the same age as yours is invaluable throughout early parenthood & beyond. Each group is invited to join their own Private WhatsApp group chat
You will have my support right up until
your baby is born via WhatsApp for any questions or information related to your Pregnancy & Birth. Including a 1-2-1 Zoom with me for guidance with your Birth Preferences
Each session is planned to make learning the course content enjoyable and engaging. I use a variety of
methods, from discussion, prompted
by presentation slides, role play,
question-& -answer activities
& interactive games.
I would love to see you & your
partner at my Monthly meet-up specifically for expectant parents
held at a Children's Cafe in Nantwich.
I would love to welcome you
to our friendly & supportive
growing community
​
Starting with a personalised welcome pack, my course content is tailored
to each group. Including sharing useful content particular to your needs. Also included is a 1-2-1
Birth Planning Zoom with me
You'll have access to my recommended resources, as well
as connections to the best local professionals I work with from Osteopaths. Independent Midwives. Lactation Consultants. Tongue
Tie Practitioners & more.
My husband and I attended the hypnobirthing antenatal course ran by Jade and we are so glad we did.
I am pregnant with my first child and Jade has made me feel so much more confident about the birthing process and the benefits of hypnobirthing. Jade also put my husband at ease and helped him understand
the importance of his role during pregnancy and the birth which has made him feel so much more involved
as often partners are overlooked. As I have a few medical issues Jade has gone above and beyond to assist me and provide me the information needed so I can make informed decisions about me and my babys own specific needs. I can honestly say she has been absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t think twice about recommending her as a doula or her course. It’s a must for mums to be.

My husband and I recently attended Jade's antenatal hypnobirthing course and I can't recommend it highly enough. This will be our third child, but we learnt so much more than in any of the other pregnancies. Jade goes through everything you could expect and by providing a really thorough knowledge of birth and the health care system she really empowers you to take full control and ownership of your pregnancy and birth. Jade has a lovely manner, she is fun, yet calming and reassuring and goes above and beyond to ensure you have all the information you need to prepare for and manage whatever type of delivery you plan for, or that may happen on the day. You can tell she genuinely just wants you to have the best delivery you can and is completely on your side! The information pack and messages/email contact since the course have been brilliant and I left with a clear plan and practical tools to help me get my mind and body ready. Whether this is your first (or third!) baby, I would highly recommend this course!

THE BENEFITS OF HYPNOBIRTHING
Here is some feedback my clients have given me after their
Karma Birthing Course alongside statistics from the NHS.
Hypnobirthing eased their fears of giving birth
Reduced anxiety in pregnancy
Felt calm & relaxed during labour
Felt more connected to their partner by doing the course
53% experienced a reduction in pain using Hypnobirthing
- compared to 6% of those who didn't use Hypnobirthing
14% had an epidural when using Hypnobirthing
- compared to 40 to 95% of those who didn't use Hypnobirthing
4% had a caesarean birth compared to 15 to 20% without Hypnobirthing
Partners felt positively actively involved & fully present in the birth
Babies had a gentler transition, & born calm & alert
New mothers used techniques to aid calm & relaxation postnatally
Long term still find techniques useful in everyday life
AVAILABLE COURSES
I offer the Karma Birthing Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Course as a Group Course or as a Private One to One Course
& a Refresher Course via Zoom is an option for those who have done a Hypnobirthing Course before
SPACES ARE LIMITED
for group courses & I only accept 1 booking per month for private in-person one-to-one sessions.
The reason behind this is simple—I want to make sure I can give you all the time & attention you deserve
GROUP COURSES TEND TO WORK BEST
with 3 to 4 couples. It creates a more relaxed atmosphere where you feel more comfortable
to ask questions & to make lasting friendships with the other expectant parents more easily.
I OFFER A £30 DISCOUNT
on any Karma Birthing Course ​if you book a Karma Bumps Pregnancy Relaxation Course at the same time.
I want to encourage you to participate in both courses not just because of the benefits it has for you & your baby's wellbeing, although these are amazing! But because it is also an opportunity to practice your hypnobirthing tools & techniques on a weekly basis together with other local mums to be. The more you practice the more effective the tools & techniques will be on your labour & birth.
The Karma Bumps classes run for 6 weeks after the Group Karma Birthing Classes
