What You’ll Learn

We bring birth preparation together in four practical areas:

• Understanding birth: What to expect during labour and how your mind, body and birth environment work together.

• Your comfort toolkit: Breathing, relaxation, visualisation, movement, positioning and supportive touch.

• Your options and preferences: Asking questions, communicating with your care team and navigating changes.

• Your birth partner’s role: Practical ways to offer reassurance, comfort and support.

We also explore the first moments after birth, including skin-to-skin contact and early breastfeeding.

What’s Included?

Alongside your classes, you’ll receive guided relaxation audio, an ebook, practice videos, worksheets, a birth preferences template and partner resources to support your preparation at home.

When Should I Attend?

The course is designed to be taken from 20 weeks of pregnancy. Around 30 weeks can work well, giving you time to practise before your baby arrives.

If you’re further along or unsure which dates suit you, please get in touch.

Is This Course Right for Me?

Whether you feel excited, anxious or a little of both, you’re welcome here. Preparing together can give you and your birth partner a shared understanding and useful ways to approach the experience.

Hypnobirthing doesn’t promise a particular birth outcome. Our aim is to help you feel informed, supported and able to participate in decisions as your birth unfolds.
