The Essentials Course - Private 1:1 £180 BOOK HERE
For you if you have used hypnobirthing with a previous pregnancy and wish to have a refresher of the techniques, the physiology of birth and what to expect.
Or, for you if you only have a few weeks before your baby is due and don't have time for the full course. It's never too late to do some birth preparation!
We will cover the basics of hypnobirthing & all the essentials I think you would benefit from knowing.
Consists of roughly 4hrs of teaching, taught in one go or can be split in two.
1:1 'Power Hour' - £55 BOOK HERE
This hour can be used for anything you need, from exploring your birth plans, your choices or anything else you're specifically concerned about.
To book your Hypnobirthing course, all you need to pay today is a £50 deposit, and the remaining cost at least a week before the course starts. You can pay the full amount today if you would prefer.
I appreciate that everyone's financial circumstances are different, and I don't want this to be a barrier to accessing a Hypnobirthing Course. So, payment plans are available if you'd prefer to pay in instalments. Please contact me for more info.
How does Hypnobirthing work?
I know that for many of you the idea of labour and birth is a scary one & you might be thinking 'how will I ever cope with the marathon of labour?' 'What will I do if X,Y, Z happens..'. Sound familiar? Don't worry you're not alone, and I've got you covered! My Complete Birth Preparation Course covers all aspects of labour and birth, with an emphasis on how Hypnobirthing tools and techniques can help you to navigate your pregnancy, labour and birth with confidence. The aim of the course is to help you feel complete control and autonomy over your birth experience, whatever happens on the day.
Each course consists of x3 3hr sessions jam packed full of information & fun interactive learning. You and your birth partner will gain a huge amount of knowledge about the physiology of birth, how to support your birthing body, how to navigate the maternity system and ultimately bags of confidence for your upcoming birth. Hypnobirthing has so many benefits for you and your baby, including a reduced desire for pain relief, a calmer, more controlled experience, a shorter labour and less need for medical intervention.
It is ideal to start your course between 20-34 weeks. If you've only discovered Hypnobirthing later in your pregnancy, it's never too late to start a course.
By the end of the course, my goal is for you and your birth partner to feel..
-
Confident about how birth works and what you can do to support your birthing body (theres a lot!)
-
Aware of how to promote a physiological birth, but prepared for all the different ways that birth can unfold, and how your Hypnobirthing techniques can be used for any scenario
-
Fully equipped with a comprehensive birth toolkit, to help you manage the sensations of labour & any curveballs that come your way!
-
Confident in your birth partner, as they now have all the knowledge to be a fantastic support to you
-
Aware of all of your choices (like where to have your baby, pain relief options, caesarean birth, induction of labour..)
-
Confident to navigate the maternity system & communicate what your want to your care providers
-
Knowledgeable about writing your birth plan
-
Ultimately empowered with a deep trust in your incredible body and its ability to bring your baby into the world!
