Hypnobirthing, Antenatal & Doula Support in Lancashire
Birth preparation in Lytham, Preston & The Fylde Coast for women who want a birth that feels like theirs
Founder of Birth With Choice, psychology graduate, multi-award-winning Hypnobirthing teacher, Doula and mum of two. I’m so glad you’re here.
Because this is real birth prep for the NHS maternity system.
You’ve seen the news. Intervention rates are rising, appointments are rushed, and many parents are left feeling anxious, unheard, or unsure where to turn. That’s where Birth With Choice comes in and why I do what I do.
My mission is simple: to support you to walk away from birth like “I did that!” To have a birth that feels like yours, no matter how it unfolds.
Because birth preparation is not a free hospital class or a fancy new pram.
You deserve real knowledge — not just about what might happen, but how to work with your body, how to make informed choices, and how to feel mentally prepared no matter what comes your way.
Whether you’re planning for a physiological birth, an induction, or a caesarean, Birth With Choice gives you the tools to approach it with strength in your mind, trust in your body and confidence in your choices.
If you’re looking for more than just ‘get through it’...
If you want to feel heard, informed, and ready...
Then I’d love to support you.
Let’s prepare for a birth that works for you.
Ready when you are.
Hey, I’m Eleanor
Birth Doula support in Lytham, Preston, 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.

What is Bump & Brew?
Bump & Brew is a free, monthly meet-up for mums-to-be and new mums, on the Fylde Coast - hosted by Birth With Choice and The Pregnancy Emporium at Lytham Assembly Rooms.
Think: less awkward small talk, more “oh thank god, someone gets it.”
It’s a cosy, relaxed space to connect with other pregnant women, sip something warm, and get real support, from each other and from local birth experts who actually know what they’re talking about.
Who is Bump & Brew for?
Whether you’re a first-time mum trying to ‘go with the flow’ but secretly feeling a bit overwhelmed or a second-time mum still carrying the weight of a birth that didn’t go how you hoped - we would love to see you there.
If you’ve just had your little one and you’re craving some adult conversation with mums who truly get it. Then you’re in the right place! Come just yourself of bring your little one with you, however you come, we’re here to support you and perhaps give you a bit of a boost too!
We wanted to create something low-key, supportive and genuinely useful - where you can meet other local mums, feel held by experts, and maybe even start building that village everyone keeps telling you about!
So expect mums, just like you, wanting to feel a little more informed, a little more confident and a lot more supported.
