Nurtured Beginnings Hypnobirthing with Katie Hill

Welcome!

I’m Katie Hill, the founder of Nurtured Beginnings Hypnobirthing, and I’d like to personally thank you for visiting our site. I’m delighted that your interest in hypnobirthing has brought you here.

To begin, I would love to know what brough you to my website? Is it stories you’ve heard about childbirth? A recommendation from a friend or healthcare provider? Or perhaps you already have some knowledge and are eager to deepen your understanding?

While I can’t promise that your baby will be delivered by a stork (how wonderful would that be?), or that your birth will be completely pain-free, I can assure you that I am committed to helping you achieve a positive, empowering birthing experience. Through hypnobirthing, you will gain the knowledge, confidence, and tools to approach your birth with a sense of calm and control, regardless of the path your birth takes.

At Nurtured Beginnings, I focus on shifting the narrative around childbirth—moving away from the notion that birth must be traumatic or painful. I will help you understand the powerful connection between your mind and body and guide you in making informed decisions throughout your birth journey. Together, we’ll explore the various stages of labor, your options at each step, and strategies to ensure you feel empowered and supported.

For your birthing partner, I offer bespoke training tailored to your specific needs, ensuring they feel confident and connected during the labor and delivery process.

Thank you once again for visiting. I hope you’ll choose Nurtured Beginnings Hypnobirthing to support you as you embark on this incredible journey of bringing your baby into the world.

Warmly,
Katie Hill

About Me

My name is Katie, and I am the proud mother of three wonderful children. My journey into hypnobirthing began after my first birth experience, which left me feeling unprepared and uninformed. In 2019, I gave birth to my son, Zachary, through an assisted delivery. Although his arrival was safe, I knew I wanted a different experience for my second birth.

A number of friends shared their positive experiences with hypnobirthing, describing it as empowering and transformative. Inspired by their stories, I decided to explore it for myself. With ample time to complete the course due to the impact of COVID-19, I felt well-prepared as I approached the birth of my second child.

In 2021, I welcomed my daughter, Lily-Jane. While her birth was not without its challenges, I was able to approach it with confidence and without the need for pain relief, thanks to the principles of hypnobirthing. Then, in 2022, I gave birth to our third child, Arthur, our largest baby at 8lb 15oz. Despite my initial plans for a water birth, I still had a positive experience, successfully delivering him in just 40 minutes using gas and air.

The profound impact that hypnobirthing had on my own birth experiences inspired me to pursue formal training as a hypnobirthing teacher in 2024. I am now dedicated to empowering other families to experience the strength and confidence that hypnobirthing can provide, and I look forward to guiding others on their own birth journeys

Testimonials

  • Caesarean Birth Story

    I'd read the hypnobirthing book before my session with Katie, so felt fairly informed to begin with. However, Katie was so knowledgeable and helpful when speaking through my options, and sharing resources. I definitely felt more empowered and confident for birth, which I wasn't necessarily expecting as a first time mum! Katie made me feel really comfortable and was able to answer all my questions. If you're currently pregnant, I would highly recommend Katie.

  • Back to Back Birth (OP)

    "I had no idea what hypnobirthing was really until Katie went through it with me. She put my mind at ease about some preconceived ideas I may have had. I didn’t have the easiest first birth, but after my sessions with Katie, I’m actually so happy to say I’m looking forward to my 2nd! I never thought I would be able to say that, so credit to Katie for being such a good teacher! Katie guides you through everything like you're chatting with a friend, but is very informative and eye opening at the same time. I would 100% recommend!!!!"

  • Positive Second Birth

    I had heard about hypnobirthing but had never really known anyone who taught it until I met Katie. I also never thought it would be a tool I could use as I had a bad experience with my first labour and always thought that the second time around it would also be just as bad.

    But after the sessions with Katie it made me view things very differently and made me realise that I can have a different birth if I approach it in a different mindset. My partner also attended part of a session and although it’s not really his thing, he took it on board and it showed when I gave birth that he was able to attend to my needs better. I am pleased to say I had a very different and positive experience second time round. Hypnobirthing with Katie was very interesting and informative and definitely makes you think differently on how to approach labour to make it less scary and to have more control on the process, so I would definitely recommend!
