Hypnobirthing, Antenatal & Doula Support in Lancashire
Birth prep in Lytham, Preston, the Fylde Coast and online — for women who want more than "just get through it"
Most birth prep teaches you how to breathe through contractions.
Almost none of it teaches you what to do when you're in a hospital room, something shifts, and someone says "we'd recommend…" and you don't fully understand why.
That decision gap is exactly what Birth With Choice closes.
Whether you're looking for a course, a doula, or both — everything here is built around one thing: making sure you walk into your birth actually prepared for the system you're giving birth in.
Not calm and clueless.
Clear, informed, and ready.
Who Birth With Choice is for
if you're pregnant and looking for birth prep you've probably already looked at NCT, maybe hypnobirthing, maybe both. and you still feel like something's missing. That's because most courses teach you about birth. Birth With Choice teaches you about birth in the NHS — and that changes everything.
if you're looking for a doula in Lancashire you don't just want someone in the room. You want someone who understands the system, knows the language, and can keep you in control of your birth, so you can focus on what really matters. That's exactly what I bring.
multi-award winning birth educator, hypnobirthing practitioner and doula based in Lytham, Lancashire.
I founded Birth With Choice after my own daughter's birth — because I realised that being calm and being prepared are two completely different things and most women were only getting one of them (or neither).
Since then I've supported hundreds of families across Lancashire and beyond — first-time mums, VBAC mums, mums after trauma, IVF pregnancies, losses, inductions, caesareans, home births. All of it.
Families come to me because I don't just teach you to trust your body. I teach you to navigate the system your body is giving birth in.
And that, it turns out, is what actually makes the difference.

Birth With Choice is about exactly that — choice.
I teach evidence-based, honest, practical antenatal courses that meet you where you are. No pressure, no ‘perfect birth’ narrative, just science backed education, mindset techniques, and real support for navigating pregnancy and birth in today’s system.
I offer private and group Hypnobirthing courses in Lytham, St Annes, Blackpool, Preston and surrounding areas and also teach online, so wherever you are, you don’t have to face this alone.
That’s why I created Birth With Choice – to give you the tools, support, and confidence for a calm, informed birth journey.
Birth Doula support in Lytham, Preston and Lancashire
Your birth is a big deal.
Not just physically, but in the decisions you’ll be expected to make — often quickly without any proper explanation.
Most people go into birth assuming that a midwife will tell them what’s happening, what their options are, and what everything actually means.
But that’s not how the NHS works.
It’s often only afterwards that mum’s realise they didn’t have a clue what they were walking into… and that they didn’t have to do half of what they nodded along to.
That’s where I come in.
