Antenatal Birth Preparation  Courses

Though you may think differently from the name, hypnobirthing has nothing to do with me hypnotising you. It's about reframing your mindset about birth. It's a fully comprehensive birth preparation course. It's all about getting informed, building your confidence and giving you all the tools so you feel empowered.

I would highly recommend that if you do have a birth partner to encourage to come along(if not drag them along). It is highly beneficial to you and also them if they have an understanding of what is involved - the theory as well as the practical skills

People usually start the course from anytime after their 12 week scan. I recommend starting the course somewhere between 20 and 30 weeks, to allow enough time for preparing the mind and practicing techniques. The more time you have to put the techniques into practice the better. Having said this hypnobirthing is still of benefit and will have a positive even if you are in the final weeks of your pregnancy.

My approach to the course is person centred. I have no agenda, I hope that on completing my course you will feel confident and have a positive mindset about your forthcoming birth. As a doula as well as a hypnobirthing teacher I hope to integrate some of the my insight from being present at births to equip you. In addition I offer the option of an additional session discussing the issues that may arise for black/brown women and birthing people as they navigate the health system.
