Well Hello There!

We’re Teresa, Jade and Georgina – the SONA team. Sona means happy in Scottish Gaelic, and that’s what we’re here to bring to your pregnancy, birth and parenting journey, every step of the way.

As parents ourselves, we’ve each had unique journeys through every stage. We even have 8 kids between us, and have faced our fair share of challenges! Along with our individual parenting experiences we’ve been working with parents for more than 8 years.

Our mission is to bring more happiness to your entire parenting journey, we’re continually learning and upgrading our skills in hypnobirthing, breastfeeding, birth trauma recovery, doula training, hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, to name just a few! So that we can bring you the best support possible, for your individual journey.

Parenting is challenging and at times overwhelming. We know we can guide you to the positive steps forward that will make a difference in your life. We know because we have seen it in the 100s of parents we have supported throughout our time as the SONA team. We will support you every step of the journey as well.

Let us know which stage you’re at above and we will meet you where you are.

 

Teresa, Jade and Georgina

You’re Pregnant!

That’s exciting! And perhaps a little terrifying at the same time…

Have you reached the point where strangers share their negative birth stories with you yet?

… Why do people have to share without asking?!

Pregnancy and birth are supposed to be amazing, memorable experiences, right?! But you’re already wondering how will you cope in labour? 

It is possible to enjoy your pregnancy more. This journey for both you and your wee one is important, but you’re consumed with the ‘what if’s‘, the ‘how can I’s‘. You’re wondering how birth will go, wondering how life’s going to change, wondering how you can take back control of your body, your thoughts and your birth experience (phew, it’s a lot!).

We’ve been there! Every birth and parenting journey is unique, but everyone deserves to have their most positive birth experience.

This is exactly where hypnobirthing can help! We’ll give you the tools and techniques that will work in pregnancy and birth and guide you to have the best experience possible, whatever the circumstances may be.

Have a browse through our services below, or book a chat with Jade to discuss which option would be best for you.

Yulia - One to One Hypnobirthing

“What a great course!

Jade helped us gain confidence we needed to prepare for the birth of our son.

Hubby was sceptical about it before we started but having completed the course he thinks it’s the best investment we made during pregnancy.”

Gemma - Group Hypnobirthing Class

“Excellent course which allowed us to prepare for the birth.

We learned so much and it allowed us to take more control over the birth of our son and made the whole experience positive and relaxed.

I only wish we had done this when having our first son.”

Michelle - One to One Hypnobirthing

“Teresa has been a wonderful support for me and my husband all through our pregnancy journey and through our first weeks with our newborn. She is very knowledgeable on the topics covered in the course, which we found very helpful and really changed my perspective on labour and delivery.

It was a revelation for me to change my perspective from being nervous about labour to learning it was something I could enjoy and look forward to. We also loved the personal touch Teresa brings to the course, it’s obvious that teaching is much more than a job to her and she goes above and beyond to answer any questions we’ve had. cannot recommend highly enough!”

Catriona - Group Hypnobirthing Class

“I would highly recommend Hypnobirthing course with Jade to any expectant parents.

Over the length of the course, Jade gave us the tools to feel calm and confident both in the run up to, and during the birth.

Jade is hugely knowledgeable about childbirth, the facilities available at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital and was able to answer all our questions and queries.”

David - Group Hypnobirthing Class

“My wife and I practiced hypnobirthing for both our pregnancies and I would recommend the service to anyone expecting. I was admittedly skeptical at first but since doing the course it has proven me wrong and has vastly increased my knowledge of the what happens throughout pregnancy and how to prepare for it.”

Your Positive Induction with Jade

Choosing to have an induction is rarely an easy decision, so having support during this time is vital. There are a number of clear steps you can take to make your induction more positive, and it’s one of our specialities.

This is my favourite birth topic, because I know the difference support can make during this time.

We have a range of options, including our free support options:

We also have a Hypnobirthing for Induction Online Course, helping you feel prepared and ready for your induction in 3 hours, or One-to-One Induction Preparation sessions, for a tailor-made session with Jade.

At SONA we’ve been supporting parents just like you for more than 7 years.

We use a blend of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and NLP, along with up-to-date research and our experience working with more than 400 families, to create courses, one-to-one session and programmes that are second to none. We know what works.

We not only prepare you for birth, but support you through pregnancy and parenthood.

We recognise that parenthood starts from the moment you find out you’re pregnant (or even before). Your birth experience is really important, but parenthood is a lifetime story that you write yourself, page by page, chapter by chapter. And we are here to support you in finding more joy in that journey, and cope with whatever challenges are thrown your way.

You’ve just had a baby!

Now what?! Well firstly congratulations and secondly I want to reassure you that if you’re finding this time challenging you’re not alone.

We have a lovely relaxation track just for you, and a weekly dose of positivity, new parent tips and support.

Birth Trauma Recovery

If you need support recovering emotionally from birth, whether you had a traumatic birth or just feel it wasn’t the birth you wanted, you’re definitely not alone. We can help you release the emotion associated with birth so you can move forward. Book an initial consultation with Jade to talk through the options and understand how you can process your birth experience.

Hypnoparenting

Hypnoparenting was created for parents, to help you move from survival mode, going through the motions as a parent, to actually thriving and enjoying your parenthood journey.

We do this by building mental health resilience, which will help you cope with whatever challenges parenthood and life throws your way.

All parents need help and support, join our free Positive Parenthood Facebook group, build your mental health resilience through The Hypnoparenting Course or book an initial consultation for hypnotherapy.

 

“I signed up to The Hypnoparenting Course having never done any hypnotherapy before. I was suffering from anxiety and panic attacks and wanted to take back some control. The Course worked so well for me that I signed up to the Hypnoparenting Club when it finished and taking part in Hypnoparenting has changed my life for the better. I now have so many tools to help me with day to day stresses and feel calmer and happier. I have been especially glad of the support as we navigate the pandemic and feel I have been much more resilient because of the Hypnoparenting club. Thank you Jade!”

 

Sarah B.

“Jade is great at what she does, as part of the Hypnoparenting Club I learned of of helpful tips, it really helped me to identify what helped me to feel calm and relaxed. The tracks are really helpful, Jade has a calm and relaxing voice and the tracks have helped the whole family. The club is flexible and you can do things in your own time. If you are thinking about joining or contacting Jade for some help I’d recommend you do it.”

 

Emma C.

“I am truly grateful for the magical work that Jade Gordon carried out. She helped me to get me back, led the way by repairing the imbalance in my psyche. It has changed my life. I am now able to cope with the present and future better, thanks to her effort. It was very lovely to work with her, she clearly knows what she is doing, I highly recommend her.”
