THE MOTHERSHIP
Hastings and St Leonards, East Sussex
Birth doula and birth educator
Group classes and 1:1 support
Perinatal Trauma Practitioner
I'm Siobhan - birth doula, hypnobirthing and Birth Trauma Resolution practitioner based in Hastings, East Sussex.
The Mothership is a place to come and prepare for one of the most significant experiences of your life — without the noise, the fear, and the conflicting narratives that so often surround pregnancy and birth. I work with pregnant women and expectant parents through antenatal and hypnobirthing classes, one-to-one doula support, and specialist birth trauma work — from those embarking on a straightforward pregnancy to those arriving with a more complex or challenging history.
At the heart of everything I do is cultivating self trust. Not a blind ‘trust the process’, or an unquestioning faith in ‘natural birth’, but a deeply held belief that your body knows what it's doing, your instincts are worth listening to, and that however your birth unfolds, you are equipped to navigate it.
I am also a perinatal trauma practitioner. If your path to parenthood has been shaped by a previous traumatic birth, fertility treatment, or baby loss, we can work together to process what has happened and rebuild a sense of safety and trust in your body and yourself.

“Siobhan is a powerhouse of knowledge and passion for all things birth related. Her classes allow space to explore what works for you as an individual without selling a false notions of how to achieve "the perfect birth", rather equipping you with the tools to make any birthing experience positive and empowering.”
- Suki, first time Mum
“I now feel better equipped to be a better birth partner, able to make informed decisions if required. Thank you Siobhan for making the sessions a great balance of seriousness and fun, and for bringing your confidence and care.”
- Steve, first time Dad and birth partner
“As a first time mum, Siobhan created the perfect atmosphere - calm, relaxed and open. My anxieties were completely left at the door and I felt like no question was a stupid question. The dynamic was so lovely between the group - despite all looking to approach the birth in different ways.”
- Lauren, first time Mum
