Confident birth begins here – together
Because ‘winging it’ shouldn’t be your birth plan
Pregnancy can feel like a whirlwind of advice and opinions – I have firsthand experience of this! It’s difficult to know who to trust. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be finding yourself burying your head in the sand with the overwhelm! But let me tell you why this never works out well…..
It’s true that birth doesn’t always go to plan. But it’s those births with the unexpected twists and turns where you and your birth partner need to draw upon your knowledge and tools more than ever – I’ve seen this happen in the birth room too many times to count. And I can’t say it enough times – preparation is key!
In my workshops, we cut through the noise and focus on what really matters.
I help you to feel informed, calm and ready. Ready to deal with the unknown. And the best part? You’ll be learning alongside others on the same journey. Get ready to feel like you’ve got this!
Are you confused about what your options are during labour and birth?
Would you love to feel calm and confident, not anxious, as your due date approaches?
Do you want your birth partner to feel confident and involved – not helpless?
Why choose Blown Away Birthing workshops?
I’m Letty, founder of Blown Away Birthing. I know how powerful quality antenatal education is. When I was six months pregnant with my first baby, I attended my sister’s truly awful birth experience as her second birth partner. Her labour snowballed and after seeing numerous interventions and drugs thrown at her, I knew I had to do something completely different.
Up until then I hadn’t done any courses or much reading at all. I briskly booked myself onto a course and embraced every bit of information I could take in. I then went on to have an unplanned induction soon after, which was the most positive and empowering thing I had ever done! I owned it.
This is why I focus my workshops on honest, quality information; helping you to enter this somewhat challenging maternity system that we see today with realistic expectations and confidence in your decisions.
What you’ll get:
You can start your antenatal education journey anytime during your pregnancy, but I recommend you start some time after your 20 week scan.
The earlier you start the more time you have to mentally, physically and practically prepare. If you would prefer to wait until later in your pregnancy, then I would recommend completing your antenatal workshops by the time you are 35 weeks. If you have only just found out about Blown Away Birthing and are later in pregnancy, then don’t worry, it’s not too late and I always try my best to accommodate you and if necessary, fast-track you through my sessions.

Client Feedback
“We can’t recommend Letty highly enough.”
The hypnobirthing techniques enabled us to have a wonderful, empowering and calm birth. It was genuinely the best money we spent in the run up to birth!
“I still use several of the techniques now in motherhood”
“This is THE BEST money I have ever spent”
…forget the designer pram, cot and clothes, the birth is what you’ll remember forever. My son and I are eternally grateful. Letty is so personable and no question is too silly (and I did ask a lot of questions!)
Personalised Birth Preparation
Sometimes you need something more personal and focussed than a group workshop. If you have had a difficult previous experience, you might like to consider private sessions where we can debrief what happened before, tailor your sessions to what is most important to you and get you feeling confident again. It is so important that you feel well supported and safe as you prepare for the birth of this baby.
My private antenatal sessions are tailored entirely to your needs, your birth preferences, and your unique journey.
If this is your first baby, you may feel that the group session times don’t suit you well. My private sessions can be scheduled on days and times that work for you and will be carried out in your own home environment. Private sessions start from £125 – contact me, giving your home postcode, for a quote.
If you’re not local to me, I can provide this online for £110 per session. Please get in touch to book.
