Over 28 years ago the concept of easibirthing® was born. It became a labour of love to develop an all-encompassing hypnotherapy and psychotherapy service that would support individuals and couples along their journey to becoming a parent ‘from fertility to parenthood’.
As the service evolved, our reputation grew to become the gold standard in working to help maintain psychological health through the emotional terrain of challenges in fertility and conception, pregnancy, childbirth, antenatal & postnatal mental health, and parenting relationships within the family.
Through our in-person and online gender-inclusive therapy practice we continue to support clients restore and maintain emotional and mental health.
Through our LIVE and ONLINE training school for practitioners and clients, easibirthing® developed to have global recognition with the gold standard reputation of service to parents, parents-to-be, and practitioners which it has today.
There are now hundreds of qualified easibirthing® practitioners across the world. Therefore you have the reassurance that anyone using the easibirthing® registered trademark is trained and qualified to work within these specialist areas.

The subject of birth trauma is prevalent in the news this week after a parliamentary inquiry into UK maternity and postnatal care services after finding poor care is "all too frequently tolerated as normal." Whilst this inquiry is important in identifying the major obstacles to good quality care for mums-to-be and hopefully paving the way for major improvement.... studies such as these can engender much fear in anyone pregnant or planning to get pregnant and leave them mistrust of maternity services.
Therefore at easibirthing Fertility to Parenthood, we think it is the right time to publish a series of 10 ways to overcome birth trauma and give the time to heal. However I will also include some tips on what you can do leading up to a birth experience to help prevent birth trauma. This week I want to focus on looking at what birth trauma is....

Our founder Sharon Mustard teams up with Katherine Hale of 'Thrive in Motherhood' to look at how there is life beyond birth trauma. Women can, and do overcome this challenging period to enjoy parenting their child in a way that they want to, and may well have expected to.
So many new mothers and fathers talk about feeling they have been robbed of a positive childbirth experience where they felt listened to, acknowledged, valued and in control of their decisions. As social beings, social connectedness is the cornerstone of a birth that truly is the beginning of the next phase in our lives.

What is Matrescence?
The word Matrescence, “The Birth of a Mother”, was coined by Dana Raphae in 1973. Matrescence is defined as the physical, psychological, hormonal, social and emotional changes associated with the transition to motherhood. Despite it being deemed as significant as adolescence it only entered the Cambridge Dictionary for the first time in 2020! This is hardly surprising when the primary focus is very much on the baby during pregnancy, birth and the post-natal period. The mother is often forgotten and rarely ever effectively supported.
