About SONA Mum
Welcome to SONA Mum – here you’ll find a little more about the team – Jade, Georgina and Teresa. We are here to support you on your journey from conception through to parenthood. SONA means happy in Scottish Gaelic and that’s what we want you to feel – we can help you reach that happy, calm feeling no matter where you are on your parenting journey.
Hypnobirthing Classes | Antenatal Breastfeeding Courses | Birth Trauma Recovery | Preparing for Induction of Labour | Hypnotherapy Session
We’ve worked with more than 400 families in that time and our classes have evolved to provide the best local information you can get and help you prepare for whatever your birthing and parenthood journey throws your way.
Jade
I’m a wife, mother, hypnotherapist, psychotherapist, hypnobirthing teacher, doula in training and mindful breastfeeding practitioner. I specialise in helping those planning induction and also recovering from birth trauma or post-partum depression/anxiety, as well as supporting parents through Hypnoparenting.
You’d never have expecting things to turn out that way if you knew me 10 years ago, I worked as a geophysicist in the oil and gas industry and I loved my job. To say that pregnancy changed me is a massive understatement, it transformed me into a mother and a wife, but it also opened up my eyes to hypnobirthing, hypnotherapy and having the freedom to follow a passion.
I started Hypnobirthing classes in Aberdeen when I had a newborn and a toddler and I loved bringing my logical, science based mind to hypnobirthing, everything we teach in class is logical and evidence based. Our classes evolved over the first few years as we supported more women and are very inclusive and open. I live in South Aberdeenshire with my husband, two kids and our first babies – our two cats. I love yoga, watching movies snuggled under a blanket with the wee ones and spending time in the garden drinking coffee.
Georgina
Hello all, I am Georgina Forsyth. I am a mother of 3 wonderful and sometimes challenging children, a Doula (you and your partner’s biggest fan. Someone to support you all before, during and after birth), breastfeeding supporter and Hypnobirthing teacher and I’m passionate about birth.
Having had a traumatic birth with my 1st child I needed to find something to prepare and empower me in my 2nd pregnancy, for a very different birth. Studying Hypnobirthing and having the most amazing unmediated homebirth I knew this was something I wanted and needed to share with other birthing people.
Working with families and listening to their stories, only strengthened my passion for supporting people to have their best birth and so I became a Doula and breastfeeding supporter.
Everyone deserves and has a right to birth the way they want. To be supported in their choices. To be pampered in their postpartum and to be empowered to ask their own questions and be prepared for changes.
I am so excited to be working with you and helping you get your best birth xx
Teresa
My name is Teresa and I live in Edzell Woods near Montrose / Laurencekirk.
During my first pregnancy and the birth of my daughter Cora I developed the biggest passion for all things pregnancy, birth and baby! When Jade offered me to join her at SONA Mum shortly after Cora’s birth I would have been a fool not to grab that opportunity! I completely changed careers, successfully completed my training at The Calm Birth School and begun teaching birth preparation in Stonehaven and Montrose.
When I don’t teach I work part-time with the NHS, currently as a vaccinator with the Stonehaven team. I’m a mum of three gorgeous daughters and a massive fan of everything pregnancy, the amazingness of the female body, labour, birth and beyond! I absolutely love teaching my pregnant clients and giving them the most powerful tools that there possibly are on their way! I want to empower my clients with the power of knowledge, choice and trust in their bodies, utilising the hypnobirthing tools they learn throughout my classes, with the goal that they can OWN THEIR BIRTHS! 
The majority of my clients have been private one-to-ones but I also love a good group course for the natter and banter! Please find my 5-star reviews on our Facebook page and website for a nosey 
I look forward to hearing from you.
Take care, Teresa
