When a baby is born, so is a mother​​
​​​​
Your baby's birth-day is also yours: a rebirth, as you transition from maiden to newborn mother. It's a seismic shift - physically, mentally and emotionally; and not to be taken lightly.
​
As with all great adventures, preparation is the key to success. I'm not talking here about choosing your buggy or decorating the nursery - these things can wait, trust me! For now, the focus must be on YOU. And the focus must remain on you long after your baby has been born. This is where I come in.​​​

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new."

Hello!
I'm Helen Wright, Founder of BirthWright.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of supporting thousands of families. It has been, and continues to be, a huge honour to do this work.
Before my first child was born in 2016 and BirthWright was conceived, I worked as a primary school teacher and assistant headteacher across Kent and East London for 15 years. Teaching is in my blood; it's something I'd always imagined I would do and I loved it! I also dreamed of being a mother. It took a little longer for this dream to materialise, but when it did, it completely reshaped me!
I knew that life would be different as a mother but I never imagined to what extent! As my brand new baby slept, snuggled up on my chest in our stretchy wrap, I had an awakening. I couldn't understand why so few people knew about the benefits of hypnobirthing. Why wasn't it common knowledge? I wanted to shout from the roof tops that birth didn't have to be like all the horror stories I kept hearing; that there was a way to stay in control of the decision making process and have a positive birth and postnatal experience.
I spent every spare minute of my mat leave studying and retraining, working through nap times and late into the evening; often with my baby wrapped close to my chest. When my leave came to an end, I resigned from teaching and BirthWright was born.
Over the years, as my little brood has grown, so has my business. I now offer wrap-around-care to expectant and new families. I do this through my work as a;​
