Get to know birth through your body.
VOCALISE | touch | move | breathe
we are the somatic birth collectiveThrough workshops, embodied preparation, and rituals of transition, we make room for the practical and the emotional, for curiosity and uncertainty, and for each person's own way of moving through pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.
birthing through your body
How do we find our breath when things become intense? What kinds of touch help us settle? How can sound, movement, or another person's presence support us?
These are some of the things we explore together.
Through guided relaxation, hypnosis, visualisation, breathwork, movement, touch, partner practices, and therapeutic sound, we develop tools to draw on during labour, birth, and postpartum. We make space to explore fears, ask questions, and discover what feels supportive through experience and practice.
Two ways to prepare:
Move Into Birth
An extended hypnobirthing & somatic birth preparation course with sound accompaniment
An eight-hour course for pregnant people and their partners, offering time to explore, practice, and return to the tools that feel right for you.
We weave hypnobirthing and guided relaxation together with movement, breath, touch, sound, and embodied partner practices. Across the course, we build familiarity with these practices, explore ways of meeting intensity, and develop a shared understanding of how to support one another through birth.
In addition to other prenatal education or as a stand -alone preparation for those who want time to learn, experiment, and grow into their birth knowledge and confidence together.
Birth Sanctum
A prenatal hypnobirthing & sound experience
Birth Sanctum is the collaborative work of birth doula and artist Sarah Entwistle, and sound artist and therapeutic hypnosis practitioner Laura Fiore.
Through private three-hour sessions and small-group workshops, they bring together hypnobirthing, pregnancy breathwork, visualisation, gentle craniosacral touch points, and Tibetan singing-bowl sound journeys.
These shorter, intentional gatherings offer time to slow down, explore fears and expectations around birth, connect with your baby, and experience deep relaxation through sound and guided practice.

Meet the collective
We are Cristina, Sarah, and Laura — doulas, artists, educators, and practitioners working across somatics, movement, sound, and birth-care.
Our practices come together through a shared interest in embodied learning, attentive care, and what becomes possible when people have time and space to explore their own experiences and capacities.
We bring our professional practices and lived experiences of parenthood into the spaces we hold, meeting each person with curiosity, respect, and care.

Laura is a French- and English-speaking certified practitioner of therapeutic hypnosis, specialising in hypnobirthing, and a sound therapist.

Sarah Entwistle
Sarah is a birth doula, artist, and bodyworker whose practice combines hypnobirthing, somatic birth preparation, and hands-on care. She supports birthing people and their partners in finding practical tools, exploring their needs, and developing a deeper sense of connection and trust as they prepare for birth.
Cristina Leoni-Osion
Cristina is a full-spectrum doula, somatic educator, and multidisciplinary artist whose work brings together embodied practice, reproductive justice, and collective learning. They create spaces to explore the body as a source of knowledge, connection, and possibility through movement, sensation, and shared experience.
