Hi, I’m Terri, the heart and hands behind Cornwall Hypnobirthing & Doula Service, based in Newquay (but covering most of Cornwall). For over 12 years, I’ve been supporting birthing people and their families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond — and I consider it one of the greatest privileges of my life. With 93 births supported to date, I bring a deep well of experience, empathy, confidence and calm presence to every client I work with.  I blend Hypnobirthing, continuous birth doula support, evidence-based research (and hypnotherapy if that's something you want) so that you're supported mentally, emotionally, and physically. I offer a flexible & inclusive service including:

Doula Packages: I offer full Hypnobirthing Birth Doula support, shorter antenatal doula-only packages, and short-notice doula help for last-minute needs. I also offer Virtual Doula packages to fit different budgets and needs.
Workshops: Hypnobirthing courses, one-to-one antenatal / birth preparation classes, Power Hours, Birth Planning and Rebozo workshops. 
Hypnotherapy: As a qualified clinical hypnotherapist, I support not just birth-related anxiety, but also stress, fear, phobias, confidence, and even past birth trauma. 

My aim is to help you tap into your own confidence, navigate the maternity system with clarity, and approach birth with a mindset rooted in your values, knowledge, and strength. If you want someone in your corner who is deeply experienced, compassionate, and ready to advocate for you — let’s talk. I offer a free, no obligation 30 minute consultation where we can meet and get the vibe for one another. This is a great chance for you ask any questions you may have, get to know me a little, and talk about how we might best work together.

Twice I have had the pleasure of having Terri as my Doula

19/11/2025

This amazing human being won’t really allow me to give her this amount of credit however, I am going to.

Twice I have had the pleasure of having Terri as my Doula. The investment I paid will never cover the experience, education and support that I received in exchange.

Both of my births were straightforward, happy and healthy. No complications, no interventions and it has helped me immensely with my bond with my boys and my mental health.

Women and families don’t realise and credit the services of a doula enough. Once you have a traumatic birth, that stays with you and your child for life. I had the best births and this experience I have to treasure for the rest of my life. Words fail me to credit Terri and thank her. All I can say is if you’re not sure – invest!!! You will not regret it but you will regret not doing it.

I cannot recommend Terri highly enough

We had Terri as our doula which also included her private hypnobirthing course.

I cannot recommend Terri highly enough. Down to earth, informed, experienced and wildly reassuring. I had the most incredible homebirth (with just Terri and my partner there as the midwives didn’t make it)

Her calm confidence in me never wavered and the support she gave as I went past my due date was incredibly impactful. I couldn’t have done it without her!

Terri is the one!

If you’re looking for someone truly special to guide and support you through one of the most important days of your life, Terri’s the one – an absolute gem! Her warmth, kindness, and incredible knowledge shine through in everything she does.

From the very beginning, Terri made us feel so safe, understood, and supported. As a birth partner, she gave me the confidence and space to be fully present for my wife during the birth of our second child. It was everything we hoped for and so much more.

Her Hypnobirthing course was intimate, insightful, and deeply empowering. We came away feeling informed, calm, and completely ready – equipped with tools and understanding that led us to the most peaceful and magical birth experience. Something I honestly never imagined could be possible for us!

Terri, thank you for your love, wisdom, and unwavering support. I’ll be shouting your name from the rooftops! 😉❤️
