About Me
Hi, I'm Bronwen, your Holistic Birth Coach, and founder of Balancing Birth
​
I am here to support you to have the birth that feels right for you, where you to feel supported and nurtured through this incredible and transformative time in your life. I am passionate about providing holistic, informative and honest birth education, and I will support you to prepare for your pregnancy, birth and beyond - physically, practically and emotionally.
​
Balancing Birth was born out of my deep trust in women's innate ability to birth, great passion for holistic health and well-being, and wanting to empower women to feel confident and prepared both physically and mentally for their birth and beyond.
I have been a midwife for 12 years, and have worked in the NHS for 23 years. Before becoming a midwife I was a nurse, including a number of years as a specialist neonatal nurse.
Over my years as a midwife I have built my knowledge and understanding of holistic pregnancy and birth support though many additional qualifications and training, and I want to share that with you to help you achieve the positive birth experience you deserve!
I'm a mum of three - two that I gave birth to, and one that came as a bonus along with my lovely husband. We live in Hertfordshire, where I love being near the countryside, but I was brought up on the south coast, so it's the sea that really has my heart!
​
I have had two home births of my own - both very different from each other. Both beautiful, yet challenging in their own ways, but also incredible and life changing. I strongly believe that my births would have turned out very differently had I not put in the work (in an enjoyable way!) throughout my pregnancies to prepare and balance my body and mind to be ready for birth. Yes - our bodies are built to birth, but due to our modern lifestyles and conditioning, our physiology often needs a bit more conscious and focused support to optimise our amazing bodies and minds for birth. That is why I am here...to nurture and guide you through that preparation to help you achieve the birth you want, whatever that may look like.
​
I really look forward to working with you!
