Hilary Curtis

Hi, I’m Hilary. Since I was very young, I’ve been fascinated by what it is to be a human being; how we can live life to the fullest and what gets in the way of feeling truly happy and fulfilled. After years of practising meditation and mindfulness, I trained and qualified with Breathworks in 2015 to become a mindfulness facilitator. From there, I have gone on to create the Breathing Space birth preparation course, and mindfulness based Breathing for Birth workshops, as well as offering workshops and courses in Somatic Mindfulness for general health and wellbeing.

A pivotal point in my life was becoming a mother. It challenged everything I thought I knew about myself! As I emerged from the intensity of those first years of parenthood, I was very drawn to working with families around the time of pregnancy, birth and the first year postpartum. Coming from a background in teaching, I was delighted to find that I could train to be a birth facilitator with the National Childbirth Trust. I completed my HND in Antenatal Education in 2008 and continued to facilitate courses for expectant and new parents until last year when I decided to concentrate my energy on mindfulness based teaching. For the last 14 years I have also been offering my services as a doula and have had the immense privilege of attending over 90 births and supporting many new families in those first tender post- birth weeks.
