The Hypnobirthing Essentials workshop, as the name suggests, covers the essentials of hypnobirthing! It’s an ideal workshop for anyone who is short of time, who wants to do hypnobirthing but feels like they’ve left things a little bit late, or for people who have done a hypnobirthing class before and want a bit of a refresher.

When are the next available dates?

I run monthly group Hypnobirthing Essentials workshops from my lovely relaxing venue in central Harrogate.

  • Sunday 5th May, 09:00-12:00 - perfect for June and July due dates

  • Sunday 9th Jun, 09:00-12:00 - perfect for July and August due dates

If these dates don’t work for you, one to one sessions can be arranged at a time that suits you. Alternatively, if you’d 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!

Hypnobirthing Essentials

What will I learn?

This is like a mini version of the Comprehensive course. We will cover:

  • A brief background of hypnobirthing

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

  • Releasing fears

  • Tools to support you to make informed decisions that are right for you

  • The role of your birth partner(s)

  • How birth works and how to promote your birth hormones

  • Positions for labour and birth

  • How to write a birth plan

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

What’s included?

  • A PDF copy of the client manual, which is packed full of information to support you.

  • 3 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 Hypnobirthing Essentials workshop is taught as a one off session lasting around three hours and it costs £120 per couple/pair for a group session, or £160 for a one to one.

Group or one to one?

Group workshops are ideal for anyone who is 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 workshop 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 session 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!

Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions at all.
