Meet your local hypnobirthing teacher Horsham:Â Kathryn
Hi, I’m Kathryn! I’m a mum of two energetic little boys, Oliver and Lucas, and I live in Broadbridge Heath, Horsham.
I’m a PE teacher by trade and have spent more than 10 years teaching, but since becoming a mum I’ve reduced my hours so I can spend more time with my boys. Most of our days involve getting outdoors, exploring and attempting to burn off their seemingly endless supply of energy!
My own experiences of birth are a huge part of why I now teach Hypnobirthing...

What happens on a Rise & Glow Hypnobirthing course?
Our courses are practical, relaxed and packed with tools you'll love using on the day you meet your baby. You’ll learn:
- how labour actually works, and what helps your body to birth more effectively
- practical breathing and relaxation techniques for pregnancy, labour and birth
- simple ways to make contractions feel more manageable
- massage, touch, acupressure and other physical comfort measures
- how to make confident, informed decisions and create a flexible birth plan
- how to navigate if induction, epidural or caesarean birth becomes part of your journey
- useful birth positions, movement and the benefits of water during labour
- exactly how your birth partner can support you, advocate for you and play an active role
Rise & Glow courses combine evidence-based antenatal education with practical hypnobirthing techniques, so you leave with much more than a set of relaxation scripts. We’ll help you understand your body, your options and the maternity system around you, while building a toolkit that can support you through any and all types of births.
The aim is simple: to help you feel calmer, more confident and fully prepared for the day you meet your baby.

Horsham Hypnobirthing Classes
Kathryn is based in Broadbridge Heath, just outside Horsham, and supports expectant parents from Horsham and across the surrounding West Sussex towns and villages.
Our Horsham Hypnobirthing classes are ideally placed for families travelling from Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Slinfold, Billingshurst and Rudgwick, as well as those coming from further afield including Pulborough, Petworth and Cranleigh.
For families who would rather prepare for birth from the comfort of home, Kathryn also offers private 1:1 Hypnobirthing across much of this area.
Being taught by someone local means you’re not simply learning generic information about birth. Kathryn understands the maternity choices commonly used by families around Horsham and can help you think through your own preferences, questions and options while you prepare.
Coming from outside Horsham?
If you’re based in one of the surrounding villages, you’re very welcome at the Horsham group courses. Simply choose the course dates that work best for you.
For private courses, Kathryn can support families across Horsham, Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Billingshurst, Slinfold, Rudgwick, Pulborough, Petworth and Cranleigh.
Preparing for birth in Horsham
One of the quirks of living in and around Horsham is that local families may receive parts of their antenatal care in Horsham while choosing from several different maternity units across Sussex and Surrey for their birth.
Kathryn's courses are particularly relevant for families receiving maternity care through or planning to give birth at:
- East Surrey Hospital in Redhill
- Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath
- Worthing Hospital
- St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester
- Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford
Some Horsham families also attend Horsham Hospital for antenatal appointments and community midwifery care.
Whichever maternity service you're using, your Hypnobirthing course isn't about teaching you that there is one "right" way to give birth.
Instead, we'll help you understand your options, know the questions you can ask and feel confident making decisions that are right for you – whether you're hoping for a water birth, planning an epidural, considering a home birth, preparing for an induction or having a caesarean birth.
Looking for NCT or antenatal classes in Horsham?
If you’re searching for NCT classes in Horsham or comparing local antenatal courses, Rise & Glow offers a slightly different kind of birth preparation.
Our Horsham Hypnobirthing course combines practical antenatal education with Hypnobirthing techniques, so you’ll learn not only what happens during labour and birth, but also what you can actually do to stay calm, comfortable and involved in your care.
We cover:
- how labour works and what supports the birth hormones
- breathing, relaxation and practical coping techniques
- birth positions, massage, touch and acupressure
- induction, epidurals and caesarean birth
- informed decision-making and flexible birth planning
- exactly how your birth partner can support you
NCT classes or Hypnobirthing in Horsham?
You don’t necessarily have to choose between them.
Some parents attend NCT classes in Horsham because they want broader preparation for parenthood and the opportunity to meet other local families, then choose Rise & Glow for more in-depth preparation specifically for labour, birth and Hypnobirthing.
Others prefer to make Rise & Glow their main antenatal course because they want practical birth preparation, evidence-based information and plenty of tools to practise together before their baby arrives.
If you’re currently comparing NCT, Hypnobirthing or antenatal classes in Horsham, the most important thing is choosing a course that leaves both you and your birth partner feeling informed, confident and genuinely prepared.
