"I Look Back and Can't Believe How Calm I Stayed"
"Hello! I just wanted to let you know that our little boy arrived safely on Tuesday morning at 6.41, 8lb5 and he is absolutely thriving and so unbelievably chilled! I was induced on Sunday with a 24hr pessary and they thought I may need further pessaries but they examined me the next day and I was dilated enough for them to break my waters! They took me down to delivery and broke them at around 11pm and the contractions intensified almost immediately! At this point I thought I would need an epidural but had diamorphe and just rolled on my birthing ball calmly with a good playlist on and by 2.30am I was fully dilated! I ended up needing the ventouse suction but I look back now and can’t believe how calm I stayed throughout the whole thing, no panic, no tears, no shouting just breathing and focusing! And I think all that may be what’s contributing to “A’s” complete relaxation! He is an absolute dream and I do put it all down to you!! Thank you so much for everything! I must admit I didn’t practice as much as I should have done but everything we discussed stayed with me! Xxx” - Francis

Birth Physiology Workshop
​
(How birth works and what you can do to help facilitate it).
​
£65
A 2 hour private workshop for you and a birth partner should you wish, looking at how birth works and the things you can do to help facilitate it, via Zoom or *face to face.
We take a closer look at just how your body, muscles, hormones and baby work together during labour and birth.
Birth can be intense and take its time but understanding just what your body and baby are doing at each stage can be a comfort and help ease the process, working with it as opposed to against it.
​
We will then discuss the things you can do to help to encourage a calm, effective and efficient labour and birth.
You will go away with a number of "tools" that either you can do yourself or your birth partner "can pull out of the bag" when needed.
​
The session is £65 for you and a birth partner should you wish and can be booked at a day/time that suits you, including evenings or weekends, availability dependant.
​
Please note, that although this is covered in the hypnobirthing course, this workshop alone does not constitute doing "hypnobirthing" as it is just a fraction of the full hypnobirthing course. If you did however choose to go on to do the full course after completing this workshop, then you would receive a 10% discount off the full course.

*Face to face courses will incur a small travel fee
"Planning" Your Birth
​
(Talking through your preferences and looking at the options to enable you to write up your birth "plan"!).
​
£65
A 2 hour private session for you and a birth partner should you wish, looking at the options to "plan" the birth that is right for you and your baby, via Zoom or *face to face.
Of course birth doesn't always go to "plan" so in this workshop, we discuss your options and your preferences for your ideal birth and also the questions to ask to enable you to make informed decisions and for your birth partner to be able to advocate for you, to ensure you get the birth that is right for you and your baby, should it deviate from your preferred path.
