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 Hypnobirthing Courses 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!

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.

We 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. 

Absolutely not.

Hypnobirthing isn't about achieving one particular kind of birth. The breathing, relaxation, comfort and decision-making tools you learn can be useful whether your birth involves a pool, induction, epidural, assisted birth or caesarean.

Our focus is helping you feel informed, involved and supported whatever happens.

Absolutely. The Alexandra Birthing Centre is Watford General's midwife-led birth centre, while its Delivery Suite provides consultant-led care and access to additional monitoring and medical support.

Your Rise & Glow course won't tell you which setting you should choose.

Instead, you'll explore what matters to you, understand how your birth environment can affect labour and feel more confident asking your own maternity team questions about your individual options.

You'll also learn practical breathing, relaxation, movement and comfort techniques that can support you in either setting.

Absolutely, yes. This is something Tulsi understands personally.

Her own son was born by caesarean, and her experience helped shape the way she approaches birth preparation today.

A caesarean doesn't mean you have no choices or that preparing for birth is pointless.

Hypnobirthing can help you practise relaxation and breathing, think about what would help you feel calm and supported, prepare your birth partner, and explore the preferences and questions you'd like to discuss with your maternity team.

Hypnobirthing doesn't replace any of the medical care or monitoring recommended for your pregnancy, but it can give you dedicated space to prepare emotionally and practically for birth.

Tulsi understands from her own IVF journey that reaching pregnancy can already involve a huge amount before birth preparation even begins.

Your course can move at your pace, with plenty of time to ask questions and focus on what will help you feel informed and supported as you approach birth.

That's exactly why Rise & Glow doesn't teach one rigid vision of a “positive birth”.

You'll learn about different birth scenarios and interventions alongside practical tools for staying grounded and involved in decision-making.

The goal isn't to control every part of birth. It's to help you head into it with more knowledge, more tools and more confidence.

Yes you can indeed!

The Rise & Glow programme isn't hospital-specific.

Northwick Park and Barnet both provide different maternity birth settings, and everything you learn can be adapted to your own hospital and individual circumstances.
