Comprehensive Hypnobirthing

The Comprehensive Hypnobirthing course is a fully comprehensive birth preparation class running over three sessions. There’s plenty of time built into the sessions for questions, discussion and getting to know each other, and I am always happy to talk about anything you may want to know!

When are the next available dates?

I run regular group Comprehensive Hypnobirthing courses from my lovely relaxing venue in central Harrogate:

  • May course: Tuesdays 7th, 21st & 28th May, 18:30-21:30 - ideal for due dates in late June, July and early August

  • July course: Wednesdays 3rd, 10th & 17th July, 18:30-21:30 - ideal for due dates in late August, September and early October

If these dates don’t work for you, one to one sessions can be arranged at times that suit you. Alternatively, if you would like to arrange a group session for you and your pregnant friends, please get in touch and I’ll send you details of my availability and my special group discount rates!

What will I learn?

  • The background of hypnobirthing - it’s essential to have a good idea of this so that you understand how it works and a bit of the science behind it all

  • How physiological birth works and how to promote the production of your birth hormones, to enable birth to progress as efficiently as possible

  • How to release any fears or worries you might currently be holding around birth

  • How to relax deeply and quickly using a range techniques, including breathing and visualisations

  • Tools to support you to make informed decisions that are right for you, which is especially important if birth takes an unexpected turn

  • Why birth plans are SO important and how to write one for any situation

  • How to create a relaxing birth environment, wherever you’re planning to give birth

  • The role of your birth partner(s)

  • Positions for labour and birth

  • Anything else you might want to ask me about at any point throughout the course!

What’s included?

  • A client manual, which is packed full of information to support you

  • 8 guided hypnosis and relaxation MP3 recordings for you to use whenever you want

  • A welcome pack full of wonderful things for you and your baby.

How much will it cost?

The Comprehensive Hypnobirthing course costs £250 per couple/pair for a group session, or £360 for a one to one.

Group or one to one?

Group courses are ideal for anyone hoping to meet likeminded expectant parents at a similar stage in their pregnancy. I include plenty of opportunities for chatting and getting to know each other, to help you to build friendships with each other.

A bespoke one to one course can be tailored precisely to your needs. Every pregnancy is different and everybody comes to hypnobirthing looking for slightly different things. I can either run the sessions from my venue in Harrogate, or if you’re local I can come to you so you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your home!

When should I book?

I recommend choosing a course any time from 20 weeks of pregnancy onwards - most people start around the 25-30 week mark, but it’s never too late!
