Four guided hypnobirthing recordings created to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself and prepare for birth feeling calmer, more confident and more trusting of yourself.

There is so much noise around pregnancy and birth.

So much information. So many opinions. So many things you’re told you should know, should do, should prepare for.

Held. is an invitation to turn some of that noise down.

To create space for yourself.

To breathe.

To reconnect with your own voice, your instincts and the trust that already exists within you.

The Held. Collection brings together four guided relaxations, each created to support a different part of that journey.

01 — Coming Home to Yourself

15 minutes 51 seconds

A gentle invitation to step away from the outside noise and come back to you — your body, your intuition and your own inner knowing.

A recording to reach for when your mind feels busy, other people’s voices are becoming a little too loud, or you simply want some quiet space to reconnect with yourself and your pregnancy.

02 — Breathing Into Calm

23 minutes 44 seconds

A soothing guided relaxation centred around one of the simplest tools you already have — your breath.

Practise breathing techniques that can support relaxation throughout pregnancy and become something familiar to return to during labour and birth.

Not about controlling every breath or doing it perfectly.

Just breathing, softening and finding your way back to calm.

03 — Trusting Yourself

21 minutes 14 seconds

A deeply reassuring relaxation created to strengthen your confidence in the person at the centre of your birth — you.

Reconnect with your instincts, your voice and your ability to make decisions as your birth unfolds.

Because trusting yourself isn’t about knowing exactly what will happen.

It’s knowing you can find your way, even when the path changes.

04 - Trusting Your Body

28 minutes 41 seconds

A gentle, grounding relaxation to help you reconnect with your body and approach birth with trust, compassion and confidence.

Explore what it means to listen to your body, respond to what you need and work with yourself rather than placing expectations on how your birth should unfold.

Because trusting your body isn't about knowing exactly what it will do.

It's knowing that your body and you are on the same side.

Four recordings. One gentle journey.

Come home to yourself.

Find your breath.

Trust yourself.

Trust your body.

There is no perfect mindset to achieve here, and Held. isn’t about preparing for one particular kind of birth.

However and wherever you are planning to birth, 

you are welcome here.

You already have so much of what you need within you.

Sometimes, you just need the space to remember.

You don’t have to hold it all.

For a little while, let yourself be Held. 🤍
