For Professionals
If you support women through pregnancy and birth, you've seen severe fear and anxiety show up. Fearless Birthing specialises in exactly this – and gives you the tools to meet it, whatever your role.
These women don't have the luxury of time. There's a due date hurtling toward them, or a body clock ticking. Our job is to act quickly and well. So there are three ways in:
A screening tool that gets to the heart of what a woman is carrying – fast – so you can act from day one.

Train in the method itself – a fast, structured way to clear fear, applied to how you already work.
See the trainingMost perinatal training doesn't address it. Most mental health training doesn't either. The result: tokophobia gets misdiagnosed as generalised anxiety, OCD, depression, or “first-time nerves.” Women carrying it cycle through interventions that don't reach the root. Practitioners doing their best with tools that weren't built for this.
Alexia built the structured tools after a practitioner asked whether her measurement framework could be applied to the perinatal experience. It couldn't, not yet – so she built what was needed. Two white papers. The RAD framework. The Perinatal Inner Readiness Profile.
The stories that pushed this forward: women walking away from work that would have helped, because they'd been told their inner work would take three years. Practitioners working with deeply fearful clients for months, with no structured way to map progress. The work exists now. This page is the entry to it.
You're already meeting tokophobia in your practice – you might not realise it, but you are. We're here to help you understand it, give you the language to reach these women, and the training to do effective work efficiently: with compassion, gently, trauma-aware – getting to the heart of the matter quickly, because that's what these women need.
Most practitioners are seeing this without naming it. Learn the signals, the patterns, and the framework that organises what you've already been observing.
The Perinatal Inner Readiness Profile gives you a psychometric assessment to map a woman's fear and anxiety from day one – so you're working from evidence, not guesswork.
Whether you prepare women for birth or work with them therapeutically, the awareness training gives you the framework and the language to meet this work directly.
The Practitioner Certifications train you in the full Head Trash Clearance method for the perinatal context – on a path that matches how you already work.
Different applications of the same method, shaped by the way you work with women. A midwife or doula uses it one way; a therapist another.
Choose the path that best reflects what you do with your clients.
For birth workers, doulas, hypnobirthing pros, midwives, antenatal educators and childbirth educators delivering reactive fear clearance in the flow of their existing practice.
For therapists, counsellors, pregnancy and birth coaches, and perinatal mental health professionals delivering programmatic clearance – structured, multi-session healing and coaching programmes over weeks and months.
Reproductive Anxiety Disorder (RAD) is the framework underlying this work. It covers the spectrum of fear and anxiety across the reproductive lifecycle – from anxiety about whether to have children, through tokophobia (severe fear of pregnancy or birth), into perinatal anxiety, birth trauma, and postnatal processing. The Fear Funnel maps how it escalates. The RAD Spiral maps how it spreads and how it reverses.
The work is built for practitioners across the perinatal journey.
You don't need a specific qualification to start. The work meets you wherever you practice.
I wish I had discovered this 10 years ago – I would have saved myself a fortune in therapy training.
HTC is the Carlsberg of therapy; probably the best in the world.
It's like the trifecta: fast, simple, effective. I've never used anything like it.
As someone who has been seeking freedom from my emotional baggage for over 25 years, this is without doubt the jewel in the crown. If this opportunity comes your way you HAVE to grasp it with both hands.
I've just completed the Head Trash course with Alexia Leachman. This was both challenging and fun, and her ability to make a process simplified really helps. For me, as a psychotherapist, it gives me a tool in my bag to work with pre and post natal issues, as well as being used in conjunction with other tools to diminish the impact of emotional issues.
I practice multiple energy methods specialising in traumatic birth and had long considered my skillset to be complete. Alexia's reported success in clearing anxiety in a hospital corridor intrigued me. Happily, this lead me to train with her. I could feel changes happening in myself as well as in turn witnessing a softening, an objectivity, neutrality replace concerns and inner conflict, in the space of one short session.
