Positive birthing for all choices

A c-section can be an empowering, gentle and beautiful birth experience. A home-birth might be the best experience for others. A more medicalised birth can be the most positive experience. There is no one way.

Be empowered to make positive choices and feel good whatever happens on that day.

Hypnobirthing in Reading with Clare Burgess

Hello! I’m Clare

Cognitive Hypnotherapist, Emotional Wellness Coach, Active Birth Teacher and Confident Childbirth Trainer

I’ve been helping mums-to-be feel calmer, well in pregnancy and more empowered for birth for over 11 years. I combine my training in Active Birth, Cognitive Hypnotherapy, Confidence Coaching and Somatic Healing to offer a tailored approach.

I’m the trainer for the Confident Childbirth method and love teaching other Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapists how to empower women and couples at this important time in their lives.

“I previously had 2 traumatic birth experiences, and Clare was brilliant at changing my whole perspective on birth and how to manage the experience. When the time came and I went into Labour, I was able to use the skills I had learnt and was able to stay calm and in control.

It was completely different and such a positive experience… I would highly recommend to anyone, I have learnt skills that will not only help in labour but can help me throughout life.”

“ I was carrying a lot of negative baggage and I was determined to make sure that my birthing experience was a positive one. Clare worked with me 1:1 throughout every twist and turn of my pregnancy. She gave me the relevant information, knowledge and tools to handle whatever was thrown at me. Clare helped me feel prepared and empowered, which led to a really positive birthing experience.”
