What We Do:

Birth & postnatal doula and a member of Doula UK, I trained with Suzanne Yates on her very first Massage for Labour course in 2006. I've been working as a birth doula, supporting women and couples throughout their pregnancies and births since 2007 and I love my job! I offer information to help women make informed choices regarding their maternity care and birthing choices, I aim to increase their confidence in their ability to give birth and support and reassure their partners too. I've been a recognised postnatal doula since 2012 and really enjoy supporting women and their families to adapt to the emotional and physical changes of looking after a newborn baby, I help with baby feeding, settling and sleeping etc, light housework, cooking and generally looking after mum so she can recover from the birth and concentrate on nurturing her baby and herself.

My Name:
Renee McBride
What We Do:

Mind and Body Scotland is owned by Renee who provides Hypnotherapy, aspects of pregnancy, birth and early parenting support including hypnobirthing, pregnancy massage, Doula services and Brain Working Recursive Therapy. Renee began working as a Complimentary Therapist in 2003 after training as a Reiki Master and a Massage Therapist. Specialising in Antenatal Care and Parenting Renee became a Well Mother Practitioner 2007 and then trained with NCT graduating from the University of Bedfordshire as an Antenatal Teacher 2012. At the same time she completed her training and became a recognised Birth & Postnatal Doula with Doula UK and the Scottish Doula Network.

As her work progressed Renee recognised that Hypnosis would help many of her clients, i.e. those with phantom limb pain, those for whom massage was not appropriate e.g. clients with cancer and the mums that she had been supporting for a number of years with teaching breathing, positions for labour & birth and relaxations. The needs of her clients encouraged her to train in Clinical Hypnotherapy 2014 and to go further and specialise in Hypnobirthing 2014 & 2017, Weight Management & Eating Issues 2016 & most recently Psychosexual Dysfuction 2017 and Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) 2017.

Currently Renee is a Mentor of newly trained Doulas for Doula UK and a lay member of the NHS Lothian MSLC.
