Getting to know me

My name is Gill and I a the founder of Your Cozy Birth (formally known as Medway Hypnobirth). I have a background in Midwifery and over 25 years experience working with new parents. I am a kind and friendly birth nerd who hopes to share my passion for birth with you.

I have 3 beautiful grown up children (the first of whom followed a long journey of infertility and IVF) who where all born in hospital. I got to follow my birth plan which literally stated that I wanted a ‘homebirth in hospital’.

Throughout my Birthworker journey, I have been present at a fair few homebirths and have seen many more managed births in hospital and in theatre. Birth naturally follows its own course and I have found that that clients who use hypnobirthing techniques are able to stay in control of their birth however it happens. I have lots of experience working with postnatal families and a deep understanding of issues that surround infant feeding

Based in Rotherham

I work as a Hypnobirthing teacher, Doula and Birth friend. Which means I work in partnership with women and their families through their birth pregnancy, birth and into the first postnatal weeks. I have completed Doula Training with Developing Doulas. I completed this training to ensure that I was up-to-date with the latest birthing research and thinking.

I provide bespoke Hypnobirthing classes in Rotherham and the surrounding area using evidence based information, which can include hypnobirthing tools and techniques. Its live and interactive and I can answer your questions as they come up. My hypnobirthing classes are based on the Love Your Birth class plans and resources with whom I upgraded my training in 2022. I know you will love the course as much as I do! Find our more about Hypnobirthing your baby HERE

I will encourage you to make your own choices with the information provided by your healthcare professionals and afford you the time to work out the best way forward for you..
