Supporting you in feeling better, inside and out
ELLIE WADDINGTON
Antenatal Instructor & Hypnobirthing Teacher
Hi, I’m Ellie — a birth educator, Hypnobirthing teacher, and antenatal instructor living in rural Northumberland. I’m also a wife, mum to two wild little ones, snuggler of a big yellow lab named Bosun, and a dedicated tea enthusiast!
My passion for birth education comes from my own contrasting birth experiences. In 2018, I went into my first birth completely unprepared — no antenatal course, no Hypnobirthing, no birth plan. I assumed birth would be just like you see on TV: chaotic, painful, and out of control. Unsurprisingly, I felt overwhelmed and powerless.
When I was pregnant again in 2022, I knew I had to approach things differently. I embraced Hypnobirthing, created a detailed birth plan, and fully prepared myself. That preparation changed everything — I had the calm, empowering home birth I’d dreamed of, right in my little stone cottage in Northumberland.
That experience made me passionate about supporting other parents to feel confident, informed, and prepared for their own birth journeys.
I trained with the Love Your Birth Hypnobirthing Teacher’s School and also hold qualifications in Childbirth Physiology and Aromatherapy for Childbirth.
Using a blend of Hypnobirthing and mindfulness techniques, I’ll help you approach your baby’s birth with strength, courage, and trust in your amazing body.
