Our Story
Who We Are
Ivy
This is Ivy, she was born in the middle of a heatwave. With Ivy being my first I had little understanding about birth. We attended Antenatal Classes but these didn't inform me on the things that mattered on the ACTUAL day. Once I had attended the classes that was it i wasn't really preparing merely just waiting.....
I had various scans and complications through the pregnancy and we were on eggshells constantly. then at week 37 I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and told I was going to be induced at week 38! I googled and was scared, earlier in my pregnancy I had bought some hypnobirthing MP3's and researched all the techniques and what was encouraged.
I had a really positive Induced Labor which is not often heard. I can help you navigate changes and feel in control. I will provide empowering stories and re-route pathways creating a positive experience for you and your baby.
Reuben
This is Reuben. Reuben was born in June, my pregnancy and birth were identical to Ivy. gestational diabetes, told he was 10lb + (he wasn't) and that i had to be induced because of risk. My husband not being one to want to take risks, me also believing the doctors know better i went allowing the same path. This time i had fully embraced the Hypnobirthing techniques and kicked myself for not doing it completely the first time round. Again i had a really positive birthing experience.
As you can see from the picture Reuben is disabled, something that happened to our family very suddenly when he was just 2 years old. Reuben suffered a significant stroke leaving with brain damage and life changing injuries.

EST. 2016
Although its not always been a relaxing journey, after 2 children, couple of houses, Lockdown, Reuben’s stroke and all of life in between Liam and I have well and truly established our roots. He is the driving force behind me as I am him. He had a major role in the birth of our two children and he supported us all throughout. No matter who your birth partner is I will teach them how can play an active and very important part of your birthing journey.
We are a derby county mad family and sport is the foundations of our home. We also love taking time out every week for movie and pizza. Find your tribe, who ever they are and how ever it looks you will have one.
Holly (Me)
I’m Holly, founder of R&R and a certified Hypnobirthing instructor, trained with Wendy and Melissa at The Little Birth Company. Teaching has always been my passion—I even earned a Postgraduate Certificate in Professional and Higher Education. After experiencing antenatal classes during my first pregnancy, I knew I wanted to create something better.
Our antenatal course didn’t truly prepare us for birth. Many parents, already overwhelmed by work, finances, and nursery plans, struggle to focus on the actual delivery day. I saw firsthand how traditional classes sometimes miss the mark.
That’s why I value a more supportive, engaging approach. Hypnobirthing transformed my experience, but it’s not for everyone. Pregnancy relaxation, however, is a simple yet powerful way to connect with your baby, boost essential birth hormones, and meet other mums—all without a hefty price tag.
If you’re still considering your options, I’d love to chat and help you figure out what feels right for you. Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to answer any questions!
