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.
