What Is the Fearless Birthing Method?
Developed by Alexia Leachman after healing her own tokophobia, this method now supports thousands of women around the world.
The Fearless Birthing method is powered by Head Trash Clearance (HTC) – a trauma-aware approach to emotional healing that is:
-
Non-invasive & regulation-based
-
Doesn’t require re-living trauma
-
Clears fears fast — without overwhelm
-
Gives you a simple, powerful process for helping clients shift deep emotional blocks
It’s used by perinatal therapists, birth workers, coaches, and health professionals – and now, you can learn it too.

Trauma triggers
-
Emotional blocks
-

-
Phobias & deep fears

A Trauma-Aware Approach for Birth Professionals
Most perinatal professionals aren’t trained in emotional healing. That’s where we come in.
You’ll learn how to work with women who are:
-
Living with tokophobia or reproductive anxiety disorder (RAD)
-
Carrying birth trauma or pregnancy PTSD
-
Feeling fear around miscarriage, birth choices, or medical interventions
-
Navigating complex emotions related to fertility, identity, or parenting
-
Preparing for birth but stuck in fear cycles
This method works without retraumatisation, without endless talk therapy, and without needing to be a clinical psychologist.
Where This Can Take You
Once certified, practitioners go on to:
-
Deliver 1:1 sessions and programmes
-
Lead group fear clearance or antenatal workshops
-
Offer reproductive and birth trauma resolution sessions
-
Specialise in niche areas like tokophobia or VBAC
-
Create scalable products or online courses
-
Integrate powerful fear clearance into doula, midwifery or therapy sessions
-
Grow a business with licensing, visibility, and community support

Hear from those who have already trained…
As someone who has been seeking freedom from my emotional baggage for over 25 years this is without doubt the jewel in the crown. Sometimes you are given an opportunity that is the key to a future of freedom, choice and flexibility. If this opportunity comes your way you HAVE to grasp it with both hands and give thanks that you are the chosen one.
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.
Alexia’s competence, ability and generosity of spirit is impressive. 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. Alexia took our very mixed-background group on a lively and thorough introduction to a simple 5-step process.
Alexia explained Head Trash Clearance to suit our interests giving plenty of examples of the Head Trash Clearance in practice. This appealed greatly. The training was highly experiential with time for Q&A and deep discussion.
Alexia’s delivery style was relaxed; obviously founded on expertise and knowledge. As a lover of language, I appreciated ample time being given to the use of rhythm, metaphor, opposites, paradoxes and much more. Highly valuable supporting workbooks too.
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! Head Trash Clearance has vast potential as a life-changing self-help method. And, not just someday soon, but right now.
