Group Antenatal and Hypnobirthing Course

Feel Ready, Feel Empowered: Birth Your Way

Welcoming a new baby into the world can be both exciting and overwhelming. Many expectant parents experience anxiety about labour and delivery, worrying about pain, lack of control, and feeling unprepared.

Our 5* Hypnobirthing and Antenatal Programme is designed to address these concerns head-on.

With options for either a comprehensive 10-hour course or a 5-hour express package, our classes equip you and your birth partner with effective techniques to enhance relaxation and foster a positive mindset.

Held in small groups of 4-5 families, you’ll receive personalised guidance to empower you through your pregnancy and prepare you for a joyful birth experience.

I provide you with essential tools and knowledge for a positive and confident birth experience without unnecessary stress or uncertainty.

Spaces are limited to maintain an intimate and supportive environment. Our classes often sell out 6 weeks before they start!

Don’t miss this opportunity to empower yourself and create the positive birth experience you desire.

I really enjoyed the Group Hypnobirthing course. As a result I had a much calmer experience for my second birth and it made a huge difference having an understanding of what my body was doing
