Hypnobirthing courses & Antenatal classes

The ideal time to begin the course is between 20 and 30 weeks of pregnancy. The more time you have to practice the techniques and use the decision-making tools, the better.

However, please don’t worry if you are beyond this point in pregnancy, a course will still be hugely beneficial.

Consider a one-to-one course that can work flexibly to meet your needs.

My course integrates the unique and transformative tool of hypnosis, with unbiased simple-to-understand information about birth and your options, as well as providing you with many practical techniques to reduce pain during labour. You will leave the course feeling calm, confident and capable to birth your baby. I believe you absolutely deserve to have the best birth possible, whatever that looks like for you; this is at the heart of all my courses.

Birth partners have an extremely important role to play during labour. Many birth partners are unsure about what is required of them and it can leave them feeling like a spare part or worse, aimlessly scrolling through social media whilst mum is in labour. My course provides birth partners with important knowledge and practical tools to support mum. Birth partners should not underestimate the difference they can make during labour.

Have you had a wedding, big holiday, house purchase / renovations in the last few years - I bet these were an investment! Why does birth have to fall down the priority list, it is an equally life-changing, special and important day of your life. I totally get it, pregnancy can be an expensive time and of course it's important to buy the essentials - the car seat, the crib, nappies and sleepsuits; but in my opinion being prepared for your birth is also a non-negotiable essential. Don’t start parenthood on the backfoot when you could start it feeling in total awe of your capabilities and supercharge your confidence in becoming a mother. 

I am passionate about supporting women to approach birth with optimism, not fear; with confidence, not doubt; and feeling powerFULL not powerLESS. I believe that birth can be a positive experience, and I am here to help you to do exactly that. I will guide you through a fully transformative and immersive experience that will change your whole perspective on birth, and dare I say it - leave you feeling excited to birth your baby.

An online course will cover the basics for a better birth experience. But a hypnobirthing course with me will go above and beyond. I will talk to you about your specific situation.  I offer ongoing support after the course has finished to help you overcome any hiccups that may arise. I will provide you with accountability - a course is meaningless if you don’t complete it, or if you don’t practice the tools and techniques - I will help you to stay on track. It's very easy for an online course to slip down your to-do list but attending with me will allow you the structure to complete. A course with me allows you to ask as many questions as you need for a full understanding. Finally, an online course does not offer you the same level of human connection and attention to detail that I offer.

Of course you could and I would actively encourage it; there are some wonderfully inspiring books to support you to prepare for birth and beyond. But what you won't get from a book is the human connection you will get from me. I am committed to going above and beyond to provide a holistic, human experience which will stay with you for a very long time. It's all about the experience.  Reading a cookery book is not the same as attending a cooking course with an esteemed chef. Reading a guide book about Paris is not the same as a romantic getaway with your loved on. It’s the human connection that makes a difference.

The answer to this is a resounding YES! You wouldn’t decide to run a marathon and not train for it, would you? Labour is equally as physically and mentally demanding yet so many people approach it without much thought. Preparing your mind and body for birth can only be positive; knowing all of your options and the choices you have can only give you more power; being inspired by the instinctual and incredible female body can only reassure you and having tools & techniques to manage your labour can only make it easier!
