Empowering Your Birth Journey: A 6 Week Course to Overcome Fear of Pregnancy and Birth
From Fear to Freedom
Welcome to From Fear to Freedom, a compassionate and empowering 6-week online course created for anyone experiencing anxiety, fear, or tokophobia (fear of pregnancy and childbirth). Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or recovering from a difficult past experience, this course offers the knowledge, tools, and support you need to feel safe, informed, and emotionally prepared.
Grounded in a trauma-informed and holistic approach, Fear to Freedom combines therapeutic techniques such as self-Havening, breathwork, mindfulness, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), along with education around the nervous system and birth preparation. Each week is thoughtfully designed to help you build self-awareness, regulate anxiety, and develop practical strategies for managing fear and stress.
By the end of the course, you'll feel more connected to your body, more in control of your experience, and more confident in your ability to make empowered decisions about your pregnancy and birth.
This is more than a course—it’s a healing journey toward reclaiming your inner strength and rewriting your story.
Meet your Therapist and Coach
Hi, I’m Lexi founder of Being Well Solutions and creator of this transformational course. In addition to being a Therapist, Certified Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach, Meditation Teacher, and Breathwork Practitioner, I’m also a proud mum and a former Midwife with extensive experience in maternity care.
Alongside my professional training, I understand first-hand what it feels like to face anxiety, depression, and a difficult birth and postnatal journey. These personal experiences have shaped the way I work—bringing not just knowledge, but real empathy, compassion, and a deep commitment to supporting others through their own journeys.
My personal and professional journey inspired me to create this course with one clear intention: to empower you to help yourself. I take a holistic approach to healing—honouring the mind, body, spirit, and emotions as deeply interconnected. This course is designed to guide you in understanding yourself on a deeper level and to equip you with powerful, evidence-based tools to face fear with confidence and compassion. You're not alone, and healing is possible.
Why Addressing Fear of Pregnancy and Birth Is Vital
Fear of pregnancy and childbirth—known as tokophobia—is more common than many realise. Left unaddressed, this fear can contribute to increased stress levels, heightened anxiety, and even impact birth outcomes. Research shows that high anxiety during pregnancy can increase the likelihood of medical intervention during birth and may influence the wellbeing of your baby. By addressing these fears now, you not only support your own mental and emotional wellbeing, but you also create a calmer and safer environment for your baby to grow and thrive.

You feel anxious or panicked when thinking about pregnancy or birth

Clients Comments
I went to see Lexi after having awful flashback of an emergency birth - it was just exactly what I didn't want. I am now at peace with it and can think about it without loosing my breath. Feeling at peace with what happened was beyond all of my expectations!!
Tracey
Having a person who really understood maternity was super helpful - Lexi was able to explain things with such knowledge in a way that I just understood. It made such a difference to me and my recovery. I am so much happier and calmer now.
Claire
Honestly I had no idea what to expect from coaching and therapy, I just knew that I didn't want medication and felt like I wanted something more proactive than what I had previously experienced. I cant put into words the change seeing Lexi has made to me and my anxiety
Anonymous
When I first started seeing Lexi I was so happy to be pregnant but also I was hugely scared - scared of things going wrong, scared of birth, scared of complications the list was endless and it just got worse every day. Lexi was so understanding and worked with me in a really intuitive way. My fear was replaced by acceptance and confidence.
Sophie
I can whole heartedly recommend working with Lexi, seeing her has changed my life. I first saw her as a new mum. From my first appointment it was clear this was a person who was happy to work at my pace. I was given ways to help myself between our sessions which really helped me to get to grips with my symptoms quickly.
Thank you Lexi x
