When should I start a Hypnobirthing course?
You can join our antenatal Hypnobirthing courses any time after your 12 week scan, right up to 37 or 38 weeks! Most women choose to join a Hypnobirthing course in the second trimester of their pregnancy, when they have the most energy.
Starting Hypnobirthing earlier in your pregnancy (ideally around 20 -25 weeks) allows you more time to practice the techniques ahead of the big day, as well as benefitting from the relaxation tools to fully enjoy your pregnancy without feeling anxious about birth.
On the other hand, many women decide to join our Group Hypnobirthing Course when they are 30-36 weeks pregnant, to coincide with discussing their birth plan with their midwife, which also works very well. The choice is yours!
Client Testimonial:
"Overall I can honestly say that labour was an incredible experience and even though it didn’t end exactly how we envisioned, every single moment was a really positive experience... The knowledge gained through the course meant I felt confident and excited at every stage. Most importantly it enabled my husband to be the best birthing partner I could ask for. He knew exactly what I wanted at each point and I couldn’t have done it without him!"

"Before taking the course, I viewed birth as something scary and painful that I was dreading, but I can confidently say I am now looking forward to the day I get to meet my baby!
I feel much more calm about birth and labour and I feel I have gained a lot of knowledge on what to expect when it happens, the science behind what happens at each stage and how best to cope with it."

"I really loved the practical elements of the course - it gave us a good view of different birthing scenarios and how to be confident whatever happens!"
Making connections
Life with a newborn baby is a real rollercoaster. So it's vital to have a good support network of friends who understand and can cheer you on through the highs and lows.
That's why we have plenty of opportunities to socialise during our Group Hypnobirthing Classes.
After the course you'll be part of a private Whatsapp group with the other parents-to-be on your course, for you to organise meet-ups, play dates, or just keep each other company during the night feeds when baby arrives!
"It was the best experience of my life and I genuinely loved every minute.
Thank you so much for all your help. I knew my body was doing exactly what it needed to and I just allowed it to happen...
It has completely transformed my thoughts around birth and I now want tons more children just so I can do it all over again!"
