Molly Mchugh · Founder

When I was pregnant, I realised that modern maternity care wasn’t actually preparing women for birth.

As an already qualified yoga instructor, I completed my pregnancy and postnatal specialist training. I have now spent almost a decade working with women through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

My own labour and birth did not unfold as I had planned. But I’d prepared my internal tools, and that changed everything. My aim is to help women feel genuinely prepared for labour and birth, physically, mentally and emotionally, because your birth experience will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Real women. Real births.

  • “The yoga practices and meditations have really helped to quieten my thinking brain. I love how I can mix up the content in TBPS. I've enjoyed being able to choose between doing a daily yoga practice, then a guided meditation, and finally a deep dive into the physiology of pregnancy, labour and birth. This is what makes TBPS stand apart from other teachings I have engaged with… I would recommend TBPS to anyone seeking to understand the mind/body/soul connection and the importance of movement and biomechanics in the preparation for labour and birth."

    Charlotte Roche, Consultant Midwife

  • “As a twin mum, I was quite anxious about attending my first class with the boys when they were around 3 months old. I actually reached out to Molly beforehand because I was nervous about going along with two babies, but she was so kind, caring and welcoming from the very beginning and immediately put me at ease… It can feel quite daunting getting out and about with twins, especially when they're so little, but Molly made us feel so welcome.”

    Emily Cameron

  • "I have attended both in person classes and TBPS online content and couldn't believe the difference these made to my birth. I had a home birth with limited pain relief, and the use of biomechanics and breathing techniques were invaluable! Would definitely recommend to any pregnant person🥰"

    Chloe Gilbert, Midwife

  • "I look forward to these classes all week! I have been attending since the start of my second trimester. Not only do I benefit from the relaxation and movement from the actual classes, I've had a chance to meet with other expectant women and Molly is a font of knowledge surrounding all things body and birth. I would 100% recommend her classes to anyone!"

    Jenny McQuire

  • "I would recommend The Birth Prep Studio to anyone, regardless of whether they are planning a vaginal delivery." The Birth Prep Studio and in-person pregnancy yoga classes set me up for a great labour experience, where I was able to put the skills and information I learnt into practice. The birth education Molly provided was so informative and detailed, covering everything from good positions to get baby into the correct position before labour but also positions during labour as well… The breathing practices really helped me during my labour"
