About Me
Shanaz Loftus
BA (Hons) Midwifery & Dip KGH Hypnobirthing
I have been a midwife and birth educator for 18 years and am passionate about helping and guiding people towards a positive birth experience. There is a lot of negativity around birth, you only have to google and you quickly find yourself surrounded by negative birth stories, stories of birth trauma and feelings of being unheard.
Birth Preparation + is designed to help you feel confident and prepared for birth, feel able to communicate what you need to your care providers in a way that doesn't feel scary or confrontational and most importantly, help you to feel in control.
