My name is Mia Scotland. I am a Clinical Psychologist specialising in pregnancy and birth. I
Mia Scotland
have been teaching hypnobirthing since 2006, and have taught over 300 couples. I am also a birth doula, and have supported many couples having their baby, both at home and in hospital. I have often been asked back for subsequent babies, which is always a pleasure. I run training days for midwives on the Psychology of Birth, and I contribute to Pregnancy and Birth magazine as an expert advisor. I have three boys, who are growing up very fast indeed!
Birth stays with us. We never forget the day we had a baby. I believe that this amazing event should be celebrated and looked forward to, not feared and avoided. My job is to help you prepare, so that the day can be remembered for the right reasons, not the wrong ones. Birth does not have to be an ordeal. It does not have to be a medical event. You do not have to sweat and scream your way through it. On the contrary, it can be loving and gentle, and hypnobirthing helps to make it as calm as possible. That’s why I love hypnobirthing.
I have been teaching the Mindful Mamma one day course ever since the very first one, which Sophie and I ran together many years ago, having both created the workshop. Since then, Sophie has worked hard to take this wonderful class nationwide, with great success. I teach classes in Derby and in Leicester, and I also work privately with couples, to prepare for birth and to release trauma from previous births.
“A wonderful lady, amazing relaxation techniques, and the best money I spent in the whole of 2010”
Thank-you to all the couples who I have had the privilege of working with so far. Thanks to you, I continue to really enjoy my job, and of course, I keep on learning! If you’d like to join a class at Derby or Leicester, please do book sooner rather than later, to avoid disappointment.
