The Christian Birth Experience

A local babymoon, with purpose

Scientifically, fear can be the enemy of birth. Similarly, the Word of God instructs us not to fear again and again.

While you relax at a luxury spa hotel and refuel with indulgent wholesome food, prepared in line with pregnancy guidance, you'll participate in two transformative sessions combining the Word of God and hypnobirthing.

Hypnobirthing is an instinctive birthing technique and philosophy. It uses education and powerful, practical, evidence based techniques to help expectant mums release fear and tension, to embrace deep relaxation and have empowered births.

When you place Christ at the centre of your pregnancy and birth, and anchor yourself in the Word, not only can you overcome fear – you will build a foundation of peace, gratitude and faith, which will positively redefine your transition into motherhood.

The goal behind having a wonderful birth is not the birth in itself. After all, birth plans change. It's about giving yourself the best possible start to motherhood, by building the correct mindset, practices and heart posture today.

Jacqueline Ajayi, hypnobirthing educator and Christian doula, in the final weeks of pregnancy

Hello, I'm Jacqueline

A certified HypnoBirthing childbirth educator, by the HypnoBirthing Institute, and Christian doula, providing antenatal and birth support to families in Kent.

After two unmedicated, peaceful births, I realised how deeply hypnobirthing is underpinned by scripture, and have seen first hand how much holistic antenatal preparation positively shapes the transition into motherhood. My Wonderful Birth exists to help mums prepare for birth and motherhood with faith rather than fear.

Testimonials

What other mums have said

From mums who have taken Jacqueline’s hypnobirthing course.

“I thought the skills and information learned from the course were invaluable. I’m confident I have a set of tools to use during each stage of the birthing process whatever that looks like. I feel what we’ve learned we can adapt to the situation on the day.”
Mama S
“As a first time mum, I was really nervous about the whole birthing experience. Jackie was so open and approachable so I was able to share my anxieties. She really listened and then tailored our sessions accordingly so that I could implement various strategies not only before my labour but leading up to it. During the sessions, I felt safe and listened to. This allowed me to fully immerse myself into the course. During my labour, I felt empowered and I honestly believe that the sessions are a huge part of the reason why. I can’t thank Jackie enough for the time and effort she put into developing such a well-rounded, person-centred course.”
