Which Hypnobirthing course would be best for me?

Both my Full and Essentials hypnobirthing courses are private 1:1 sessions completely tailored to you and your birth partner. If you haven't done any birth preparation classes I'd recommend the full 8-hour course. If you've already signed up for antenatal classes (e.g. with NCT or NHS) or if you've given birth before and you'd like a refresher, the 4-hour Essentials course is perfect.

Does your hypnobirthing course cover all types of birth?

Yes, we cover all types of birth. We explore how to support physiological birth but also look at interventions that are offered so you feel confident navigating decisions around your labour and birth.

What if we decide we’d like you as our doula?

If I have availability this is absolutely possible! We would decide which package is best for you and I would deduct what you’d already paid for your hypnobirthing course from the doula package.

When should we start our hypnobirthing course?

I’d recommend starting at around 26 weeks as this gives you plenty of time to explore everything and practise your hypnobirthing techniques. But as long as there’s time to fit in your sessions, it’s never too late!

Does my partner/ birth partner need to do the course too?

Yes, if possible! Birth partners play a crucial role in labour and birth so it's really important for them to be involved in birth prep sessions! They'll learn how labour and birth work so they'll know what to expect and how they can support you to have a positive birth experience.

Do we need to do another antenatal course too?

No, if you go for the Full Hypnobirthing Course this is a complete birth prep course. Some people like to do a group antenatal course (like NCT) to meet other local parents, however you can do this at my coffee social, at pregnancy yoga or (once your baby is born) at baby massage!

It’s completely holistic birth prep that will leave you not just crossing your fingers and hoping for the best, but with a deep understanding of how to stack the odds in your favour for a positive birth.

“I wanted to thank you again for all your help and support, Steph. You gave us the confidence to follow our gut and I managed to have the birth I’d been dreaming of and you made that possible! It was the most insane birth & I still can’t get my head around it, it makes me emotional! I really appreciate everything you did to help us achieve that xxx”

"Having done the full hypnobirthing course with Steph for my first in 2020, I knew I wanted to reach out to her when I found out I was pregnant again. She is such a calming influence. She let me talk over my worries and helped me reframe my thoughts. Steph is easy to talk to, each session flew by. She is so knowledgeable and gave me the confidence to believe in myself. The breathing techniques really helped me through labour. I would absolutely recommend Steph to everyone!"

"My husband and I have just completed the Hypnobirthing Essentials course with Steph and I can honestly say that she is fantastic! She talks through everything that you need to know without making you feel in anyway awkward or unprepared. She also helps you navigate through the many, many choices there are and to be confident and comfortable in the decisions you come to with the info she gives. I am so glad we did this and can’t recommend Steph and the hypnobirthing course enough!"

“I’m so glad I booked on to Steph’s Positive Caesarean course, it was very informative and there was a lot of information that I was completely unaware of before we started. Having this knowledge has really helped me feel prepared and get in a good head space before the day. The course was very thorough but equally easy and enjoyable to follow.
It was a nice extra to be able to have access to the hypnobirthing meditations outside of the course, I’ve found listening to them at night has been helping to keep me calm and feel less anxious about the section itself. I’d recommend Steph’s courses to anyone that’s expecting.”
