"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!" Charlie
Hypnobirthing Essentials course
This 4-hour course (usually 2 x 2hr sessions) is a 'mini' version of the full 8-hour course. It's perfect if you're already doing antenatal classes such as NCT or NHS but would also like to learn how to use hypnobirthing to feel fully prepared for birth. It's also a great refresher if you've done hypnobirthing before. I'll arrange a call with you before the course so that I include exactly what you need.

"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!" Laura

“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.” Aimee
