About the author

I'm a clinical hypnotherapist, doula and lecturer who also loves writing. My work relates to all areas of women's health. I'm always happy reply to questions and am interested in the process of change that happens internally as you learn about options and the power of your mind, rather than just giving people a set of techniques. This helps with resilience and flexibility which is especially important when it comes to individual experiences of pregnancy, birth, motherhood and peri-menopause.

From fertility through to post-menopause, using tools such as mindfulness, hypnosis, visualisation and lots of reframing can change experiences! Everything I write aims to inspire women to be able to see opportunities to change their perspective in pivotal moments of their lives, so that they can live wholeheartedly.

These moments of change are powerful. If we engage with them fully, however vulnerable we feel and however challenging they are, it somehow frees us to enjoy our lives more fully.

I train and lecture hypnotherapists and midwives around the UK, and also see some private clients.

I'm mum to two wonderful boys and live in Grantham, Lincolnshire in the UK.

My other passion is tennis, so if I ever have a spare moment I spend it on a court with racket in hand.

I just read this for the second time whilst pregnant with my second son. I then bought and gave copies to all my pregnant friends! I think it’s a lovely companion for new mothers. We need that voice telling us we’re doing ok and giving us tools to cope through those tricky first few months (and years). I printed out some of the positive mantras and filled in the self care page to remind me what I could do to look after myself in a spare 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes. Thank you for this gift, Sophie Fletcher!
