Supported Birth is the working name of Gina Cox-Roberts, a doula and Natal Hypnotherapy practitioner based in Shropshire and covering Shropshire, the Black Country and border region.

I firmly believe that every woman can have a magical and beautiful birth experience. As a doula, I work with mothers and their partners providing support, information and empowerment before, during and after childbirth. With Natal Hypnotherapy, I teach courses to expectant couples so that they can use hypnosis themselves for pain management, release from anxieties and increased confidence in their birth.

Research studies from around the world show that the use of hypnosis for childbirth results in:
• shorter labours
• reduced use of pain medication
• higher Apgar scores (measurement of the baby’s well being at the birth)
• reduced surgical delivery (Caesarian delivery and forceps)
The Natal Hypnotherapy course teaches you how to achieve the birth experience that is right for you. Through the course, you will learn practical and effective techniques to manage the sensations and situations that you will be faced with during birth and gives both the mother and the birth partner effective skills to draw on when the time comes.

For those who would like additional support for their birth, I also offer a full doula service.
This includes one-to-one antenatal sessions, a guaranteed presence at your birth, however long it may last and a full repertoire of traditional and holistic techniques to support you through late pregnancy, during your birth and postnatally.
