About A Mother World®
You don’t have to feel overwhelmed or unsure when you land in this world.
From the moment you find out you're pregant, it can feel like a lot. It is not always as calm or supported as you might expect, and it can leave you feeling unsure of yourself. Afterall, this is something you've never experienced before, and something you'll experience completely differently to everyone else.
A Mother World was created to give you a space where you feel supported, informed and more confident in yourself, because every pregnany, birth and newborn experience is once in a lifetime.
Hi, I'm Sophie!
I'm the mother behind A Mother World. My best friend describes me as kind, empathetic, and sarcastic!
After two very different births in 2016 and 2019, having worked in the corporate world for years, I decided to act on my niggling passion to help others and create something more meaningful. In 2022 I trained in Counselling Skills and Hypnobirthing with The Little Birth Company alongside my finance job and young family, and launched A Mother World later that year.
I still work in finance three days a week, which keeps me grounded in the reality of juggling it all.
In 2024, I opened a dedicated space for classes, a place where you could feel comfortable and supported. Although I had to close it in 2025 due to personal circumstances, I continue to teach locally and support families across Berkshire.
My aim is not to help you have a “perfect” birth, but a positive one, where you feel calm, informed supported and in control. To trust your instincts, understand your choices and feel supported by your birth partner and by me, during pregnancy, birth and beyond.
I teach from experience, and don't want you to go through what I did in my first birth - it doesn't have to be that way.
I’m also passionate about creating a sense of community. I know how hard it can be to meet other parents without pressure or expensive classes, and I want my sessions to feel welcoming, relaxed and genuinely supportive.
I regularly attend Birth Worker forums at Royal Berkshire and Frimley hospitals so I can stay up to date with local maternity services and support you with the most relevant, current information.
Fun facts about me!
✔ I drink a lot of tea
✔ Lived in lots of places, including Australia in my 20s
✔ I used to play in a brass band (GEEK!)
✔ I have a degree in Criminology (and used to work in the Police)
✔ I love camping!
My favourite sayings are "sprinkle kindess like confetti", and "if you don't like something, change something".
My reason why
✔ I see birth from two sides of my own experiences - my first birth was = traumatic, my second = very positive
✔ I love making a difference in the world
✔ For mums to have that "I am AMAZING" feeling after birth
✔ To help birth partners be the best support they can be
✔ To sprinkle kindness like confetti
✔ To get to know mums and really support you in those early days and months
Charity Donations &
Pay It Forward
A Mother World® values are kindness, honesty, generosity, compassion, empathy and selflessness.
I donate a percentage of profits to charities including Tommy's who are dedicated to finding causes and treatments to save babies’ lives as well as providing trusted pregnancy and baby loss information and support. A lot of my clients come to me pregnant with their rainbow baby, and after supporting my friend after baby loss in 2018, this is a charity close to my heart.
I also offer a 'pay it forward - sprinkle kindness' option where upon booking your course, you can add any amount to a pot to help pay for a space for a birth team that may not be able to afford it.
I will reduce the cost of this space to only cover costs in order to help as many people as possible, sprinkling kindness like confetti. There is no pressure and no judgement to add to this pot though - it's whatever is right for you.
