The Full Hypnobirthing Package
Courses
Whether you are at the beginning of your pregnancy or have found hypnobirthing later, whether you prefer online or face-to-face, whether you are more comfortable one-on-one or in a group setting, don't worry, I have course options for you. And as hypnobirthing is for all births regardless of the path they take, I am proud to provide a specific course to prepare you for a caesarean birth, be it planned or elective.
When you book a course you will receive beautiful course materials posted directly to your door amongst other treats and of course, access to downloadable relaxation and hypnobirthing audio files and hypnobirthing affirmations.
You will have my ongoing support after the course and throughout your pregnancy should you need a little reassurance, a confidence boost or guidance along the way. I'm here for any wobbles!
Once you have your baby in your arms I can then offer you a birth debrief to hold space for you to share about your experience and any issues that may have arisen. This can be such a valuable part of your postnatal journey and I want you to know that I am here for you.
I cant wait to hear from you!

The Full Hypnobirthing Package
A one-to-one course offers you more flexibility with times to fit your schedule or to change a date for any unforeseen reasons. You will also have my ongoing support through the rest of your pregnancy.
This course will cover:
The psychology of birth. How your mind affects labour and how to work with your birthing hormones.
The basic physiology of birth. What happens during each stage of labour to your body and your baby.
An understanding of any fears you have around childbirth, the impact they have and how to release them.
Breathing techniques, visualisations and MP3s to practice with and help you feel calm and relaxed during labour.
An evidenced based look at the pros and cons of interventions and how to make informed decisions.
An understanding of your pain relief options both natural and pharmacological and and all of your birth place options.
You will leave the course with 3 birth plans A B and C.
I firmly believe in feeling completely confident going for the birth that you envisage but also knowing all of your options and feeling confident should your birth take a different path. This ensues that all of your birth preferences are voiced and respected regardless of the path birth takes. An understanding of the biomechanics of birth, what positions are helpful during pregnancy and your birth to help labour go smoothly. Practices such as using the Rebozo during pregnancy and labour.Meditation and mindfulness practices are weaved into the course which I believe is beautifully beneficial to both labour, birth and parenting.

8 hours of Hypnobirthing course in person over 4 weeks or online if that is preferable to you.
A client manual to refer to throughout pregnancy plus lots of additional resources including positions to use for an efficient labour or if labour stalls.

FAQS
What is hypnobirthing?
Let's start with the name because I know for some it can be misleading. Although it may sound a bit 'woo woo', rest assured the practise is based in evidence and science and my clients have many 'light bulb' moments throughout the course.
But what about the 'hypno' part?
Don't worry, hypnobirthing is nothing like stage hypnosis you may have seen on television or in a show. At no point will you be under anyone's control or quacking madly around the birth room!
The hypnosis used in hypnobirthing is self hypnosis. Which means you are ALWAYS fully in control. Hypnobirthing is a beautiful form of deep relaxation for your mind and body that uses specialised breathing techniques, visualisations and a range of audio MP3s. It provides you with a toolbox that you can pick and choose from during birth.
When you are in this deeply relaxed state, you can fully access your subconscious mind and root out those fears or misconceptions you may have around birth in order to build a very positive, empowering and more helpful birth mindset. This can have a huge impact on how your birth unfolds.
Who is hypnobirthing suitable for?
Hypnobirthing is a full birth preparation course suitable for anyone who is ideally between 20 - 36 weeks pregnant. Of course you can do the course on your own depending on your situation but if you do have a birth partner then ideally you will do it together. Birth partners have a huge role to play during your labour and birth and hypnobirthing will get them fully clued up, excited and ready to be your advocate and rock during your birth.
Together you will learn all about the birthing process, including a full understanding of physiological birth, what helps a birth to go more smoothly and what hinders the process. You will build a sound knowledge of when interventions may be necessary and when they are not, and how to make decisions that are best for you and your baby throughout your pregnancy, labour and birth.
You will learn ALL of your options because it's so true that if you don't know your options then you don't have any. Hypnobirthing is for EVERY birth, whether you are planning a homebirth or an elective caesarean and for all births in between, the skills and knowledge you will gather will be invaluable.
Are you wondering if it will make your birth pain free?
The simple answer is no because I would never promise you that (although it certainly is possible), but what I will promise you is that your whole understanding of the pain in labour will change and this will change your experience of it.
I will also equip you with breathing and massage techniques. I will give you an understanding of how movement and positions can provide great comfort measures, as well as making your birth go more smoothly.
Such a huge part of hypnobirthing is about creating a positive and confident mindset so that you will feel like you can handle anything that comes your way. This in itself will transform your experience of labour pain.
