You already know birth will have its suprises.
You just want to walk in feeling like a team.
Start that shift with…
STEADY
Get you and your birth partner actually talking about the stuff that matters - so it feels like you’re doing this together, not you quietly doing it all and them hoping for the best.
STEADY, the one hour that gets you on the same page.
You already know getting ready for birth matters
Right now? You’re juggling everything.
Working.
Tired.
Trying to remember what week you’re on and where you left your maternity notes.
Midwife appointments squeezed into lunch breaks.
Reading Amazon reviews for baby stuff.
Washing tiny babygrows and piles of muslins.
Feeling excited one minute and a bit “oh sh*t” the next.
One foot in your old life, one foot in the new one that you can’t quite imagine yourself in yet.
You’re doing so much.
And your birth partner cares - of course they do - but their day-to-day hasn’t really shifted yet, has it?
Not because they’re not interested. But because it’s not their reality yet - and that’s pretty normal.
But in all this, there’s one thing you can control - the one thing that will lighten the load - getting on the same page about what really matters, before birth starts.
STEADY is the bit that makes that easier.
So… what is STEADY?
STEADY is the un-Googleable part of getting ready for birth.
It’s the stuff you can’t get from antenatal classes, TikTok advice, ChatGPT, or well-meaning pals who’ve been there before.
It’s not breathing scripts.
It’s not tools or techniques.
It’s not “10 ways to stay calm.”
(All of that comes later - if you want it.)
This is the hour that builds the thing that actually shapes your birth: Steadiness. Togetherness. The “we’re in this - properly in this - together” feeling.
Because here’s the part no one says out loud: Your birth partner is the most powerful person in the room (except you).
They know you better than any midwife ever will. They’re the voice you’ll listen for. The presence you’ll lean on. The person who can keep the room steady - IF they know what they’re doing and IF they’re confident about what matters most to you both.
They don’t need to become an expert in dilation.
They don’t need to know everything stage of labour. They don’t need to memorise a 10 page birth plan.
They just need you both on the same page - before you’re in triage at 2am and someone tells you the birth centre is closed.
And that’s exactly what STEADY gives you - the two of you, in it together.
What STEADY actually does:
It takes all the “we should probably talk about this…” floating in your heads and turns it into one straightforward, guided hour that gets you aligned on:
• what you both worry about
• what actually matters to you
• what you do not want to be figuring out mid-contraction
• how you want to communicate
• what support will actually land for you
• how to make decisions when birth throws you something unexpected
• what needs protecting if you go quiet
• the tiny practical things that change everything
It’s the hour that stops you whisper-shouting,
“Can you just DO something?” while they freeze because they don’t know what you need.
It’s the hour that stops you carrying the whole thing alone.
Stops the resentment.
Stops the guessing.
Starts the teamwork.
STEADY is the hour where the penny drops —
for both of you.
So what’s actually inside the Starter Kit?
Nothing fluffy. Just five short videos (under 30 mins total) that explain what hypnobirthing is, why it works, and how to get started - together.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
🧠 WTF is Hypnobirthing?
What it actually is. What it definitely isn’t. And why it’s more brain-based than you think.
🌬️ Why “Calm” Is Overrated
You don’t need to be zen. You need to feel steady. Here’s how we get you there.
👯♀️ Your Birth Partner’s Role (And Why They’re Way More Important Than They Think)
What your partner actually needs to know without them switching off after two mins.
🗂️ Birth Plans That Don’t Fall Apart
The three most important questions you need to ask yourselves, because things rarely go “to plan” - but you’ll be prepared no matter what.
➡️ Why Hypnobirthing Works
For any birth. Any why it’s a confident decision for all first-time-parents.
By the end, you won’t just know what hypnobirthing is.
You’ll feel clear on what it looks like for you - and whether it’s how you want to prepare for birth - without having to work it out yourself.
You’re in your first or second trimester - that early ish phase where every scroll, podcast and friend seems to offer a different opinion on birth.
But you’re curious. You’re reading, saving, comparing, trying to understand what will actually help you, and what’s just noise.
You want to make smart choices early, not panic decisions later.
You’re open-minded, practical, and quietly thinking ahead:
“I know birth is unpredictable - but I’d like to feel prepared for it in a way that makes sense.”
You’ve heard about hypnobirthing, maybe by a friend or your midwife.
It sounds good, but you don’t yet know what it really involves - or whether it’s your thing (or if your partner will get all eye-rolly about it).
That’s exactly where this Starter Kit meets you.
Not with pressure or perfection.
Just with clarity, so you can explore confidently and make choices that feel good for you and your birth partner (they’ll love it, I promise).
This is for you if:
Steph & Joe
“Short, clear, ACTUALLY helpful - and it didn’t make my husband roll his eyes. Loved it.”
Lauren & Sam
“I wasted so much time Googling - wish I’d started here instead of all the random research!”
👋 Hey, I’m Rachel
I’m Rachel.
I’m a mum of two, a hypnobirthing coach, and the creator of the Birth Ready Method - a practical, brain-based approach to birth prep that helps you feel steady, capable, and actually ready (without the fluff).
I created the Starter Kit because I kept hearing the same thing:
“I’ve heard hypnobirthing is great… but I still don’t really get it.”
I remember feeling exactly the same way.
It can feel impossible to navigate the world of birth - especially when you’ve never done it before.
What’s helpful? What’s hype? What actually works?
That’s why I’m here - to make it clearer, less scary, and give you confidence in your decision making - for you and your birth partner.
So I made this: something short, clear, and built for real people - so you can start feeling more steady, together - in a way that makes sense to you. No weird scripts. No pressure to visualise your cervix opening like a flower. Just real tools that land. It’s not my full 1:1 Birth Ready Programme, but it’s the best place to start.
Let’s get you prepped in a way that actually makes sense - and maybe even feels… a little bit exciting.
Most people spend pregnancy ticking off lists for the baby. This is the bit for you.
Start with one short session.
Feel clearer and confident in your decision making.
And finally say:
“Okay. This actually makes sense. We’re doing it.”
