‘No Frills’ is a Complete Hypnobirthing Antenatal course online over Zoom.
What’s the ‘No Frills’ part? The cost – it’s £75 for a huge amount of taught content. You’ll receive a set of MP3 relaxations, some print at home affirmations and simple handouts, but you’ll need your own notebook and pen at the ready. I’ll record the sessions and make them available for a week, so you can rewatch it if needed.
The complete course gives you loads of time to learn about the birth process, how to address any fears of birth, get up to date with your birth rights, what labour feels like and how to deal with the pain, making decisions and your choices, as well as practice lots of relaxation, breathing and birthing techniques to help you get the best from your birth experience.
Bring your birth partner along to make sure they are learning with you and understand what the birthing body goes through and how they can support you.
You will learn:
- How you can teach yourself to relax in the lead up to and during labour
- How the birthing body works and what happens during labour
- How to use active birth positions for a vaginal birth
- How to have a calm and confident c-section
- Your rights during pregnancy and giving birth
- Natural relaxation and pain-relief techniques
- Medical pain relief options
- How your birth partner can support your in preparation for and during birth
and much more!
You also receive:
- Ongoing support from me until your baby is born in case you want to go back over anything or have questions
- A post birth call to talk through your experience
The Zoom Courses are perfect for couples who prefer to learn from home or perhaps live more remotely and aren’t able to attend a face to face course.
This course covers the entire background of hypnobirthing, techniques for preparation and use during labour, the role of the birth partner, your rights and decision-making. There will be some practical demonstrations and partner work, but you will need to put in more time at home to practice and read the complete course content than in the full course.
Also includes:
– The Birth Boss workbook
– MP3 downloads of the course visualisation
– Relaxation tracks
– Birth affirmation cards
– A goody bag
PRICE: £95 Essentials / £150 Complete.
£50 deposit to book and remaining to be paid no less than 7 days before the course.
These birth preparation workshops focus on teaching or revising the extra information you want to feel prepared for the birth of your baby.
Choose from a range or attend them all, it’s up to you. Unlike hypnobirthing, if your birth partner isn’t able to attend, that’s fine, although there is always great benefit to them understanding everything too!
POWER HOUR
60-mins of the most loved and used hypnobirthing methods to help you through labour.
HORMONES FOR LABOUR
Hormones are hugely important throughout pregnancy and the birth of your baby (and beyond). By understanding how birthing hormones work, you’ll also better understand your birthing body and how interventions such as membrane sweeps and induction impact on your body’s natural processes.
CREATE THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR BIRTH
Birthing environments are a cornerstone of birth experiences. As humans we feel most relaxed in comfortable surroundings, and this is no different during birth. No matter where you birth, there are always things you can do to create a better birth environment. Join me to find out more.
RELAXATION & ADDRESSING FEAR
Birth can be scary whether you’ve done it before or you’re a first time parent. This why it’s important to understand why addressing fears plays a big part in how you feel both mentally and physically during birth. In this session we will share our fears, understand how to overcome them, and practice relaxation techniques for pregnancy, birth and beyond.
ACTIVE BIRTHING
When you think of giving birth, you probably imagine being laid on a bed but actually that’s far from the best position for you and your baby. Active birth positions reduce the likelihood of needing interventions, post partum haemorrhage, severe tearing and distress to your baby, plus be much more comfortable for you both.
Come and find out how you could potentially change the path of your birth with some simple tips and tricks.
For residents of the Medway towns and north Kent, so if you’d prefer hypnobirthing and antenatal courses in the comfort of your own home, this is for you.
