Ell is rounder of EGG and mummy to Nina, who inspired her to discover the wonderful world of Hypnobirthing.

Hypnobirthing gave Elle a true sense of control in one of the most important events of her life. She felt empowered, confident and in control. It was truly magical! That is why she has poured all her love into creating her very own course, because she believes every women deserves to feel the same way she did!
