Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Course

The antenatal & hypnobirthing combined course is an excellent way of preparing you and your birth partner for the birth of your baby.

Preparing for birth and life as a new parent can feel like an impossible task, with everyone wanting to offer you conflicting advice and tell you their horror stories of sleepless nights and endless nappies!

That is why my courses have been created to fully prepare you and your birth partner for the journey from pregnancy to parenthood. Providing evidence based, vital information in an easily digestible format, the classes will work towards you feeling physically, mentally and emotionally prepared for your labour, birth and postpartum by the end.

I strive to provide a safe space to ask whatever questions you may have (even those silly ones!) without judgement, and by delivering the sessions in person I am able to tailor the sessions to your wants, needs and requests. Both you and your birth partner will leave feeling empowered, and more confident as you start your journey.

A group course will also allow you to connect with other expectant parents in the local area that are also having a baby around a similar time. I will set up a whatsapp group for each course, allowing you to support each other and meet up both before and after your little ones are born.

What will the course cover?

  • Understand how your incredible body works during pregnancy and labour. We'll explore what a physiological birth really is and discuss some of the tools that can help make your experience empowering.

  • During this session we will explore how the birthing environment has evolved into what it is today, discussing the interventions that may be required, what they are and why the could be helpful.

    We will also talk about birth rights, consent and taking control of your experience. I will help you to advocate for yourself when it really matters, leaving your feeling empowered to make the right choices for you and your family.

  • Those first few days and weeks with a newborn are a rollercoaster!

    In this session, we will cover the basics of keeping your new baby alive from feeding to sleeping, bathing to changing.

    For those that have never changed a nappy before this session will be especially helpful!

  • During those first few days after you've given birth it can feel like the only thing that matters is the baby.

    BUT it's important not to forget about you too! The fourth trimester, or the postpartum period is full of ups and downs, so I will give you all the tips and tricks to begin this chapter with confidence and excitement.

  • One of the most important tools in your parenting toolbox!

    Not only is hypnobirthing a brilliant tool to help you through birth, it also teaches you skills that will be invaluable during parenthood.

    I will teach you tools and techniques to help calm your mind and body.
