My name is Christina MacFarquhar. I am a fully qualified and insured hypnobirthing practitioner. I also help women and their partners during labour and birth, as well as afterwards, during the adjustment to life as new parents, including dealing with breastfeeding challenges.
I first learned how to use hypnobirthing and relaxation techniques while preparing for my own two labours, training with Oxford-based practitioner Guinevere Webster. I was amazed by what I learned, how enjoyable the techniques were to practice, and how helpful they were during labour. I immediately started passing on tips to friends. I later trained as a practitioner with Natal Hypnotherapy, founded by clinical hypnotherapist and doula Maggie Howell. I love working with women and birth partners on their birth preparation and their journey into parenting. I am also a researcher, a life coach, and a writer. Languages For course participants less confident in English, I speak several other languages including Mandarin Chinese, Italian, German and French. |
