The Hypnobirthing Podcast

I was so delighted to chat to Chantelle all about the birth of her second baby, 13 years after the birth of her first. We discussed how she found hypnobirthing and how it helped her prepare for her positive birth. Thanks so much Chantelle!

I was so excited to speak to Bonita, not only about her experience of summitting Everest, but also about how she related it to giving birth. Which was harder? And what skills from the mountains did she take into her birth?
