THE BIRTH THING COURSE
ALL THE BIRTH THING COURSES HAVE NOW MOVED TO A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOLLOWING THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. ALL COURSES CAN NOW BE TAKEN IN THE SAFETY AND COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME, VIA VIDEO CALL. YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR COURSE MATERIALS IN THE POST OR DROPPED OFF TO YOUR DOOR IF YOU LIVE LOCALLY TO TUNBRIDGE WELLS PRIOR TO YOUR COURSE COMMENCING. I AM COMMITTED TO DELIVERING INTERACTIVE, INFORMATIVE SESSIONS DURING THESE UNPRECEDENTED TIMES TO ALLOW YOU TO FEEL EMPOWERED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO GIVING BIRTH.
The Birth Thing® is a complete birth education course that offers expectant parents tools for a calm and comfortable birth, shower and wherever you birth your baby.
It is an extremely detailed, but thoroughly modern hypnobirthing course, made up of lots of little things that all work together to equip parents to be with the knowledge to make confident, informed decisions through every step of pregnancy, birth and beyond.
By signing up to my course, you will be in the best position to prepare for a positive birth experience; because knowledge is power.
We will cover:
The philosophy of hypnobirthing (which absolutely does NOT involve swinging pendulums or clucking like chickens)
The physiology of birth (the science bit; how our bodies are designed to birth our babies)
The importance of connecting both mind and body
How to fear birth less and be fearless (because fear dramatically affects our birthing body)
The practice of deep relaxation and tools to use during pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond
Included in all The Birth Thing courses:
A selection of hypnobirthing & relaxation audios, for all births
Course workbook
Invitation to join WhatsApp group for post course support from myself and your course friends
Lots of birth support materials such as birth preferences sheet (inc.c-section), bag checklists, birth partner checklist & more
Ongoing, personal support from myself following the course via email, WhatsApp or phone
WHEN TO ATTEND
An ideal time to attend a course is around 20 weeks pregnant, but you are welcome to join at any time - you can never ‘over prepare’ for birth - Its a full birth education so I have even taught couples pre conception! If you are later on in your pregnancy I am more than happy to discuss how I can support you, please contact me to chat through your options.
Group hypnobirthing courses are a great opportunity to connect with like minded parents to be who are preparing for a positive birth experience. Classes are intimate (no more than 6 couples at a time) and will be conducted interactive video conference sessions for the foreseeable future during the Coronavirus outbreak. Courses are 8 hours in total, split into a few sessions, which gives you time to digest and practice some of your hypnobirthing tools between classes. Investment £250 for you and your birth partner.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt?!
If you've had a baby (or more) before, and perhaps had a difficult or traumatic birth experience, it doesn't mean you can't have an amazing, empowering, healing birth this time around.
Or perhaps you did a Hypnobirthing course previously and want to top up your knowledge or try a fresh perspective.
I teach PRIVATE refresher courses and I LOVE THEM. It's an opportunity to dig deep into your personal previous experience, release fears, share evidence based information and support you to work with your caregivers (and not against them) to make choices that feel right for you and your baby this time around.
It's a version of The Birth Thing course totally tailored to you. No topic is off topic. Inductions, VBAC, breech birth, homebirth, hospital birth, abdominal birth, multiple birth, fast labours, slow labours, pregnancy after loss - whatever you want to discuss, we can cover it, in a private & safe space held just for you.
Courses are 3 hours, held via video conference at a time to fit around you and your family life. I can also split the course into two sessions if you wish - I am flexible. Once you have booked, I will contact you to arrange time and dates to suit.
Investment is just £155 in total for you and your birth partner (if they wish to attend) and includes all the course materials.

T H E E M P O W E R H O U R
Introducing a brand new service from me - The Empower Hour. This is your opportunity to have an hour of focussed, dedicated time to talk, plan and prepare for the birth of your baby with me, a qualified hypnobirthing teacher. The session will be via video or audio call and totally tailored to you and your unique situation.
I've had so many people message since the Coronavirus outbreak asking for reassurance, guidance and support now that many antenatal courses have been cancelled or postponed. I really want to make decent birth preparation accessible to all, so 'The Empower Hour' is great way to chat through your feelings, concerns, options, birth preferences and take back control of your birth.
I'd love to be able to personally support you for free but, like so many other small business owners, I am feeling the pinch during these uncertain times, so I've priced this service at just £35. My promise to you is that you will finish our session feeling empowered, informed, supported and looking forward to birth. Money and time well spent.
Once booked, I will send you a questionnaire to get a deeper understanding of what you want to achieve from our hour long session so that I can focus the content during our time together. Whether that's help writing your birth preferences, learning relaxation techniques, discussing place of birth options, understanding your birth rights, releasing fears or simply building on some of the knowledge you may have learnt from previous antenatal courses; its up to you. This is YOUR time to prepare for the birth YOU want.
If you decide after our hour together that you want to take a full hypnobirthing course with me, the price you pay will be redeemable against the cost any of my other courses too! But my hope is that this one off session will give you what you need to go forward with your pregnancy feeling cool, calm, connected and EMPOWERED
I can't wait to get virtually meet you!
