BREATHE “it just makes you feel INVINCIBLE. And it's something that I really wanted to teach the children: When things feel too much, too painful, too uncomfortable, too overwhelming, you can stop and breathe. It's free. You can do it anywhere and everyone can do it. So I think this HypnoBirthing knowledge has been such a powerful tool to open that side of things for me"
~ Lauren Dollimore 💛

One of my favourite parts of this conversation was hearing how the breathing tools Lauren learned through HypnoBirthing became so much more than birth preparation 🙏

From pregnancy blood tests to her three births, cold water swimming in winter, grief, stress and anxiety, breath became the tool she could always return to.

And now, it’s something she’s passing on to her children too (and I do too 😍 even when my 4yo daughter goes to the toilet to never push 💩😅🤗)

A beautiful reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause…
and breathe ✨

A new space for ✨The Calm Birth Podcast✨ is here!! 🎙️

After sharing birth stories, HypnoBirthing info, tools, guided relaxations and conversations in my bilingual podcast since 2024, I’m so excited to finally give the English episodes their own dedicated home 🤗

The Calm Birth Podcast was created for English-speaking families who are preparing for birth and looking for calm, confidence and connection along the way.

The first 13 episodes are already available to listen to 🎧 episodes that I have lovingly created and shared over time, and now you can find them all together in one place✨

From birth stories to relaxation practices and practical tools, my hope is that this podcast supports you wherever you are on your birth journey.

A very special thank you to all the families who have gifted me their time, trust and beautiful birth stories to share on this podcast. Your experiences have the power to inspire, educate and remind others that every birth journey is unique 🤍

Thank you for being here and for supporting this new chapter 💞

If you enjoy listening, I would be so grateful if you could follow the podcast and show your support by rating it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ every little bit helps this project reach more families who may need it.

"Home is the most peaceful and relaxing place to be"

Sometimes the biggest shift isn't only for the birthing mum… it's also for the birth partner 😍

Before welcoming their 3rd baby, Bodhi, Lauren and Jamie chose to do a HypnoBirthing refresher, after first learning HypnoBirthing almost 9 years ago during their first pregnancy.

Lauren shares how the session helped release fears, rebuild her confidence, and created an even bigger shift for Jamie as a birth partner, giving him practical tools and confidence to support her through a wonderful home birth experience.

A beautiful reminder that birth preparation isn’t only for the person giving birth 🙏 it’s about preparing together, reconnecting with your knowledge, tools, and feeling supported as a team 💛

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: Baby Bodhi's Home Birth 😍 Lauren's Beautiful 90-Minute Birth Experience 🩵

This episode feels extra special to share as little Bodhi happens to be celebrating his 3-month BirthDay✨👣✨

Lauren from tropicskincare_lulu joins me on Ethel's Podcast to share the beautiful story of welcoming her third baby through a planned home birth here in New Zealand.

After using HypnoBirthing for her first baby almost 9 years ago in Jersey, UK, Lauren and Jamie chose to do a refresher session before welcoming Bodhi.

What they found was so much more than revisiting techniques, it was a moment to reconnect, release fears, rebuild confidence and prepare together as a team 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Lauren shares how the session created a big shift for her, but also how meaningful it was to see Jamie gain practical tools and confidence as her birth companion.

Her birth story is a beautiful reminder that a calm birth doesn't always mean a quiet, slow or perfectly peaceful birth. Sometimes birth unfolds quickly, intensely and unexpectedly. Yet with the right support, preparation and tools, it can still be remembered as a deeply positive and empowering experience.

A heartfelt episode about home birth, trust, breath, support and the power of preparing together 💛

A little personal milestone to share 💛

Since 2022, I've had the privilege of supporting families across New Zealand and South America through HypnoBirthing courses, birth preparation and postpartum education.

A few weeks ago, I launched the first Spanish edition of my very first birth guide 🤩

And today, I'm so excited to finally share the English edition of the "Guide to a Calm Birth"✨

Created from years of supporting families, answering questions, listening to birth stories, and witnessing the incredible transformation that happens when parents prepare for birth with knowledge, confidence and calm.

Thank you to every family who has trusted me to be part of their journey. This guide exists because of you 🙏🏻

To celebrate, I'd love to gift you a free preview, including my Birth Plan Template and a glimpse inside the guide.

Comment GUIDE below and I'll send it straight to your inbox 💌✨

With love,
Ethel
