Finding it hard to cope emotionally?

Many women struggle with more than just physical symptoms after pregnancy — anxiety, poor sleep, low mood, or even a loss of identity are incredibly common. It can feel like no one really prepared you for this part of motherhood.

If you're finding it hard to switch off, relax, or feel like yourself again, you're not alone — and you don’t have to push through it.

I offer 1:1 support using the CONTROL Method

— a modern, practical type of hypnosis that helps you change unhelpful thought patterns, ease anxiety, sleep better, and reconnect with yourself.

Testimonial

I cannot overstate what a difference Roberta's help has made to my overall quality of life, and my ability to enjoy my pregnancy...

I was recommended to contact Roberta by a sports physio when I began suffering from GTPS (really painful hips!) at the start of my second trimester of pregnancy, which caused sleepless nights and debilitating days. I waited out the pain for 8 weeks before seeking help because I thought it was part and parcel of pregnancy but the benefits after seeing Roberta once were instant, and by keeping up the exercises she gave me they have been sustained for 4 weeks now and counting.
