HypnoBirthing, offers a philosophical approach to childbirth that works with the belief that pain is not necessary, and that a woman’s body is perfectly designed to give birth to a baby. Pain is usually caused by fear and tension and this can be eliminated when the body is relaxed. The techniques taught during the course enable parents to release fears, to relax and embrace the birth of their baby, allowing them to achieve the natural, calm, easy and comfortable birth they have planned and prepared for. What Dads Say: “Attending the HypnoBirthing classes went a long way to reducing the apprehension as well as the knowledge of having our hospital located just around the corner. All fears were swept aside as soon as Zoe went into labour as I saw her get straight into her ‘zone’. She seemed so much more at ease, calm and acting instinctively having rehearsed what she had been taught”.
Sarah & Karen provide antenatal classes that do not feel like traditional antenatal classes but are women-led, enabling them to learn about their pregnancies, allay their fears, grow in confidence towards the birth and enjoy the magical journey to parenthood. What Mums Say: “Two qualified midwives giving a new approach to the old antenatal classes, making us number 1, perfectly relaxed and even making time to answer individual queries and worries. Perfect classes for myself as a first time mum I would highly recommend”.

What Mums Say: “Thanks to your amazing weekend course I now have a partner who understands and is genuinely supportive of my desire for a natural birth. He was reluctant to come at first, and now feels completely prepared to support me both practically and emotionally. That one thing may actually be the factor that has the most impact on my ability to have the best birth outcome I could have and I can’t thank you enough”.
