Clear Your Fears, for a Positive Pregnancy and Birth
I nearly didn't write this book. My aunt told me I should – that women needed to know what I'd done and how I'd done it. I told her not to be silly. Who cares about what I'd done?
Then the emails started coming. Women who'd heard about my story – I still don't know who from, maybe my midwife – wanted to know how I'd overcome my fear. They were pregnant and terrified. The emails were long. There was a lot to cover. And more kept coming. I was breastfeeding my newborn.
I said to myself: if I get another one of these bloody emails, I'm going to write a book.
And so I did. And the rest, as they say, is history. It became the podcast. It became the Fearless Birthing movement. It set the design direction for everything you see here. This is the OG – the book that started it all.
Whether you're pregnant, trying to conceive, or just thinking about planning – this book gives you a clear, practical method for confronting and clearing the fears that stand between you and the pregnancy and birth you actually want. No fluff. No false promises. Just a proven approach that works.
Not all fear is the same. You'll learn to recognise the difference between the fears that protect you and the ones that hold you hostage – and how to respond to each.
How to approach your pregnancy with real presence – not by ignoring the hard bits, but by choosing how you engage with them. A grounded alternative to going on autopilot.
Your due date can become one of the biggest sources of stress in your entire pregnancy. This book explains why – and shows you how to stop it running the show.
How to prepare so that you're in charge of your feelings during birth – not the other way around. This isn't about controlling what happens. It's about controlling how you respond.
The core of the book – a structured, repeatable process for identifying and clearing the fears and stresses that are getting in the way. Step by step, at your own pace, in your own time.
A must-have for any expectant mother who wants more than hope. She wants a plan.

Best book I've read about birthing and this is my third baby. It's the one book I'd recommend.
I genuinely cannot recommend this book enough. I spent years with what I can only describe as a deep-rooted fear of pregnancy and birth. Alexia and this book has helped me immeasurably. I had tried many things but this was the breakthrough I needed. You have to put the work in but Alexia does guide you through everything very clearly.
I absolutely loved it and found it to be one of the only practical books on birthing that I have read.
Save yourself the endless search on the internet and start with this book. Fearless Birthing comes loaded with pivotal "aha" moments, links to freebies, and practical how-to's to use Alexia's strategies immediately.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I especially loved learning about the fear-clearance technique. I am a mental health professional and really enjoyed exploring alternatives to traditional therapies in order to overcome fears. I've done one fear clearing since reading the book and was amazed at the response I got. I can't wait to be able to do more clearings to prepare for my upcoming birth.
If you want to understand where your fear really comes from – the biological roots, the inherited patterns, and the hidden mechanisms that make it feel so overwhelming – start here. This is the foundational text.
