Prepare For Birth With Confidence.
Feel calm. Feel informed. Feel strong.
Hypnobirthing courses across Ashford, Folkestone & surrounding areas.
Now I’m not here to promise you a pain-free birth or to ‘hypnotise’ you and BOOM, your baby is born. I am here to assure you that you can have a positive and empowering birth experience. Through my knowledge as a birth educator, I will help you to; gain the knowledge, confidence, and tools to approach birth with a sense of calmness and control, regardless of the path it takes.
At Nurtured Beginnings, my focus is on shifting the narrative around childbirth. Childbirth does not have to be traumatic or scary, it really doesn’t! I want to help you feel calm and confident when entering your birth. I am truly passionate about helping you understand the power of the mind- body connection and guiding you in making informed decisions throughout your birth journey. During my antenatal classes, I will teach you about how the maternity system works and how to navigate around it. Using interactive strategies, I will talk you through the stages of labour, your options at each step, and strategies to ensure you feel empowered and supported.
Birth partners, this section is for you! Your role is important too! I invite you to participate fully in my courses and learn alongside mum-to-be. I will talk you through your role and why you are just as important on the day too!
Thank you once again for visiting. I hope you’ll choose me to support you as you embark on this incredible journey of bringing your baby into the world.
Warmly,
Katie Hill

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 felt more empowered and confident for birth. 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 until Katie went through it with me. She put my mind at ease. I didn’t have an easy first birth, but feel more confident for my second. 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. 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 never thought it would be a tool I could use after a bad first birth experience.
Katie 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 the sessions and he was able to attend to my needs better because of it. I am pleased to say I had a very different and positive experience second time round. I would definitely recommend!
