Hi, I’m Steph!
Like a lot of people, when I first got pregnant, I assumed I’d just go along with what I was told. But as I started digging deeper, I quickly realised how much conflicting information there was, how many different opinions everyone seemed to have, and how easy it would have been to feel completely overwhelmed.
The more I learned, the more I realised that birth feels very different when you have proper knowledge, not just about how your body works, but about how the system works too. When my pregnancy went well beyond my due date, I suddenly found myself hearing frightening language, scary statistics, and a lot of pressure. But because I had already done the work to understand my options, I was able to stay calm, ask questions, and stay part of every decision.
That’s exactly why I decided to train as a hypnobirthing teacher. Not to promise anyone a "perfect birth" but to offer proper, honest birth preparation that helps people feel like they can stay calm and confident, even when things don’t go exactly to plan.
creating Communities
I feel strongly about creating space for parents to connect because pregnancy and early parenthood can feel isolating, and building a local community around this work feels just as important as the teaching itself.
The Bold Birth Coach is here to bring exactly that to South East London.
The Riot Birth Network
I trained with The Riot Birth Network, whose approach completely matches my own ethos: fully evidence-based, inclusive, honest, no nonsense, but always supportive.
My teaching is grounded in physiology, hormones, birth rights, NHS systems, decision-making, and proper tools to actually use on the day. Nothing airy fairy and no rigid rules — just real information and calm, practical support.

“When you feel safe, informed and respected - your body can do its thing.
When you feel panicked, pressured or dismissed - that’s when interventions often start stacking up.”
Say hello!
