Meet Eleanor
Hey I’m Eleanor,
I’m an experienced Hypnobirthing teacher, psychology grad and the founder of Birth With Choice.
If you’re feeling a bit nervous (or even terrified) about giving birth… you’re not alone. I’ve been there too.
When I was pregnant with my little boy, I craved a course that didn’t just tell me what might happen during labour – I wanted something that helped me understand how I felt about it all, and how to feel ready.
That’s when I found Hypnobirthing – and honestly, it changed everything.
I learnt what was actually happening in my body, how to make informed choices, and how to stay calm and confident, no matter how birth unfolded.
Now? I teach other parents to do the same – with no fluff, no pressure, just real tools that work.
