My name is Amber. I live in Kingsley with my husband, son & daughter. I am a Doula and a Hypnobirthing®
International The Mongan Method Child Birth Educator. After both the birth of my own son, and supporting my friend in her amazing births at the King Edwards Family Birth Centre in 2017, I decided I wanted to support families on their journey into parenthood.
Hartley’s Meadow was what I named my own calm zone whilst I was pregnant. Hartley means ‘a stag/deer’ and was a name I discovered in a baby name book. As soon as I saw this name I could see the fresh green grass, feel the cool breeze and hear all the animals. I went to this space to relax and be with my baby. After completing my HypnoBirthing® training we were given a Parent Handout book. The final relaxation within it describes taking yourself to a forest and following a fawn to something magical. This is the feeling and experience I wish to be able to pass onto all families that I work with- a beautiful, calmness that leads to something magical.
My own birth experiences include the King Edward Family Birth Centre and a planned homebirth
with a private midwife turned unassisted birth.
