Hypnobirthing is a complete antenatal education course, designed to fully prepare you for birth.

By understanding the science of exactly what your body is designed to do during birth, Hypnobirthing will teach you practical tools and techniques to help you work with your body, rather than against it.

Hypnobirthing is scientific and evidence-based (nothing woo-woo here!) and in recent years more and more women are choosing to prepare for birth using Hypnobirthing techniques.

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!

I strongly recommend birth partners do the course with you so that you are both on the same page and able to prepare together. Your birth partner should be someone who you trust to fully support you on the big day. This could be your actual partner, or it could be your mum, a close friend, a sister, or whoever you trust most with this important job! 

Often women are concerned about their partners being sceptical. But I promise, once they have understood what Hypnobirthing is, how scientific, logical and practical it all is, they will be completely on board!

They will be your biggest source of support, and will have such an important role in the birth room. Being able to learn and practice the techniques together during your pregnancy will ensure you are both fully prepared for the big day. 

Our courses are perfect if you are expecting to have your baby at Lewisham hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kings College, St Thomas or Croydon maternity, or any of the central London hospitals (including birth centres & midwife-led units).
