I love a good birth book!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So this post definitely isn’t me saying you shouldn’t buy one as there are some brilliant hypnobirthing and birth preparation books out there, and reading can be a really helpful part of preparing for your baby’s birth
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also know that booking a course is a much bigger investment than buying a book, especially when there are so many other things to pay for when you’re expecting a baby
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I wanted to show a little more of what you’re actually getting when you book with me and the part that probably doesn’t show up on my Instagram very much
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The couples whose plans suddenly changed, perhaps to a planned caesarean or an induction, and wanted a reassuring chat about how their hypnobirthing tools could still support them
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The woman who gets in touch because she wants to revisit something from the course in more depth now that her due date is getting closer
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And occasionally, even a message from a couple while they’re actually in labour. Yes, really!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The check-ins and chats that happen as due dates get closer
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the very best parts… I’m so lucky to often receive that lovely photo telling me baby is here, and finally get to see the little person who was also at the course, just hidden away inside mum’s belly 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You will leave the course with plenty of resources and information to use in your own time and you don’t need to come back to me after the course day
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But if something changes, you want to revisit something we covered, or you would simply value a little extra support along the way, I’m still here for you after the course day
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That human bit is probably one of the parts of Luna Birth Services I haven’t shared enough of. From the feedback I receive, it’s one of the things couples really value about doing the course with me ❤️

September feels like the start of a new chapter at Luna Birth Services 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My 12 September course sold out so quickly from the waitlist, and when I added this extra September date, most of the spaces were snapped up from the waitlist again before I even had a chance to share it here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, I have just a limited number of spaces left for Saturday 5 September in Glanmire.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This course is for first-time parents and those coming back to birth again who want to feel calm, confident and informed about the birth ahead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll spend the day talking through how birth works, practical hypnobirthing tools, breathing, movement and positions, your birth partner’s role, making informed decisions and preparing for the different ways birth can unfold.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s practical, relaxed and very much about helping you both leave feeling more prepared for your own birth, whatever that might look like.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📍 Glanmire, Cork
📅 Saturday 5 September
⏰ 9.30am–4.30pm
👫 €330 per couple
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve been thinking about joining me this September, you can book through the link in my bio or send me a message if you’d like to chat about whether it’s the right course for you.

Pregnant in Cork and not quite sure how to prepare for birth?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You might be wondering:
Will I cope?� What if things don’t go to plan?� How do I actually stay calm in the moment?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is exactly what we focus on in my one-day hypnobirthing course.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This isn’t just breathing.
It’s understanding what’s happening in your body, knowing your options, and having practical tools that you and your partner can use, no matter how your birth unfolds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So you don’t go into labour hoping for the best.� You go in feeling calmer, clearer, and more prepared. You’re not left on your own after the course, I’m there to support you right up to your baby’s birth.

Tearing is one of the questions I'm asked about most often - and the worry that comes with it is completely understandable 💯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But there is actually quite a lot you can know and do. From how you breathe and move in labour, to warm water, perineal massage, and how your birth partner can support you in those final moments of birth 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've written a full blog post covering everything honestly and clearly - including what the research actually says, what recovery looks like, and where hypnobirthing fits in

This is what support can actually look like when you choose to work with me 💗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My courses are not just one day of information. They’re about feeling held, supported and guided in the weeks that follow too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because real life doesn’t stop after a course day. Questions come up, plans can shift, and sometimes confidence can wobble.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been working with couples for six years, and I know that what comes after the course really matters. That’s why I don’t leave you trying to figure it all out on your own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have someone you can reach out to. Someone who can help bring you back to calm and help you come back to what you already know.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can also gently signpost you towards trusted, evidence-based services and resources when needed 💗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything I share is designed to support you alongside your midwife, obstetrician or care team. So you can move through your pregnancy feeling calm, informed and more confident in conversations with your care team.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your labour begins, you won’t feel like it’s all happening to you. You and your birth partner will feel prepared, supported, and ready.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’d like this level of support for your own birth, you can message me to book your place or to see if the course feels like the right fit for you.

Worried that a hypnobirthing course might not be for you… or that it won’t be worth the time or money? 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is what the course day actually looks like
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a full day for you and your partner to step away from everything else and focus on your baby. No distractions, no rushing, just time to properly prepare together
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ll understand what’s happening in your body during labour, learn simple, practical tools you can actually use, and feel much clearer about your options 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your partner will also leave knowing exactly how to support you in a calm, confident and practical way, which makes a huge difference on the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And importantly, it doesn’t end when the course finishes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ll have ongoing support with me right up to your baby’s birth, hypnobirthing tracks to listen to, and a full resource pack covering everything from induction to epidural and caesarean, so you can revisit it all in your own time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is about feeling prepared, supported, and confident going into your baby’s birth, whatever path that takes 💯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’d like to hear from other couples who have done the course, you can have a look at my Instagram highlights under “Reviews” or read my Google reviews
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A full day for you and your partner to gain clarity, learn practical tools, and feel supported right up to your baby’s birth 💛

Worried it might be too late to prepare for your baby’s birth with hypnobirthing? 💗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hear this a lot, especially from women who are already in their third trimester. The truth is, it’s not too late.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most couples join my course at around 30 weeks, but I often have couples joining at 36-37 weeks too 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even a few weeks of hypnobirthing preparation can make a real difference to how you and your partner feel going into labour, and during it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My course is designed to give you everything you need in one focused day. You’ll understand what’s happening in your body, how to stay calm and in control, and how your partner can support you in a really practical way 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Importantly, you’re not left on your own after the course. I’m there for you with ongoing support right up to the birth of your baby, which many couples find just as valuable as the day itself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ll also have access to a full set of resources afterwards, covering everything from induction to caesarean, along with your hypnobirthing tracks to listen to as you rest.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re due in May, June or even July, this is still a really good time to prepare.
My April 25th course is nearly full, with just a small number of spaces remaining.
If you’ve been thinking about it, you’re not too late 🤍

An amazing honour for me 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve recently been named one of Ireland’s Top 40 Women to Watch 2026 through the Irish Women in Business Network, and I’ve also been nominated for the Villa Maria Women of Vision Awards 2026. It feels really special to be included alongside so many inspiring women doing meaningful work across different industries 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I started Luna Birth Services in 2020, I never imagined anything like this. All I wanted, and still want, is to support women and their partners to feel calm, confident and informed going into their baby’s birth 🫶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since then, every message, every birth story, and every couple I’ve worked with has shaped what Luna Birth Services has become today
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So this recognition really does feel like a reflection of all of those years 🙂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re currently pregnant and starting to think about preparing for your baby’s birth, this is exactly what I support you with
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My one day hypnobirthing course is designed to give you and your partner real understanding, practical tools, and a sense of calm confidence going into labour, whatever path your birth takes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I now have a small number of spaces available on my April course, and May is almost fully booked. My courses are kept intentionally small, so once those spaces are gone, they’re fully booked 💗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you had been thinking about hypnobirthing, or keeping an eye on my dates, this could be a really lovely time to join
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can message me anytime if you have questions. I’m always happy to help 🫶🏻
