The hypnobirthing course I teach is a fully comprehensive antenatal birthing programme. The course teaches you how to remain calm, relaxed and in control of your birthing experience using a variety of techniques.

​

Learn how to use your breathing to instantly become calm and relaxed. You will also learn to use your breathing throughout your labour and birth to work with your birthing body.

​

Learn self hypnosis techniques to enhance your relaxation throughout your labour and birth.

​

Find out all about your amazing birthing body and all the things it does throughout labour and birth to help you birth your baby in a calm and relaxed way.

​

Learn to not be afraid of giving birth. Your body is designed to birth a baby and fear will interrupt the natural flow and rhythm of your birthing body. Fear is the enemy of birthing and you will learn to let go of any fears you might have about birth.

​

Understand how important it is to think positively about your upcoming birth and how to let go of all of the negativity we are surrounded by about birth. Do yourself a favour right now and stop watching One Born Every Minute - instead pop over to my social media pages and watch any of the amazing births that I post links to.

​

Your birth partner will have a very important part to play throughout your labour and birth, and the course very much involves them*. They will no longer feel like a spare part watching from the sidelines - your birth partner will learn hands-on techniques to keep you calm and relaxed throughout your pregnancy, labour and birth.

​

*Don't worry if your birth partner really doesn't want to be involved (or you don't want them involved!!)...you are the one giving birth and if you're happy attending the course without your birth partner then that's your choice!

​

The course is fresh and fun - you will really look forward to the classes, taking some well earned time to bond with your baby and learn how to prepare for your baby's birth.

​

The course is delivered as 4 sessions of around 2.5hours, usually held over 4 consecutive weeks. It's really up to you when you want to start the course, most women usually start around 25-28 weeks but it's entirely up to you . I offer flexibility around which day and time suit you best - evening, weekend, I will fit in around you.

​

I offer private courses, usually in your home, at a time that suits you. I’m happy to travel throughout Stirling, Falkirk, Clackmannanshire, Perth and Kinross and further afield in Central Scotland – to find out if I am able to travel to your home please get in touch.

​

The cost of the private course is £350. This includes:

​

4 x 2.5hr sessions

The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme Workbook to help structure your practice at home

9 x MP3s

Email/Phone support from me right up until your baby is born (as much or as little support as you like/need)

Access to a closed Facebook group

Post-birth session

​

I also offer online group sessions, taught over Zoom . The cost of the group course is £250 which includes the same as above.  The number of attendees is kept low in order to ensure that I can give appropriate attention to each individual, and ensure that everyone gets the most from attending the course. Please contact me if you would like to be added to my waiting list for the next group course.

I am happy to discuss payment plans with you if this is something you would like to do.
