Online Private Hypnobirthing Course

There are so many reasons a private course might be just what you need:

  • Maybe group dates don’t fit with your busy life or work schedule
  • Perhaps you’d like some dedicated 1:1 time to ask all your questions without feeling rushed
  • Maybe you want a course that’s fully personalised to your birth plans and concerns
  • Or maybe you just prefer the comfort and privacy of learning at your own pace, in your own space

Whatever your reason, a private course gives you the freedom to learn all about birth and explore hypnobirthing in a way that feels right for you.

If you’re wondering whether a private course could work for you, I’d love to have a chat. We can talk through your options, discuss your hopes and worries, and find the best way I can to support you on your birth journey.

What to expect…

The course is a relaxed, friendly, and judgement-free space and alongside everything I usually teach, we will be able to focus completely on what matters most to you. You’ll have plenty of time to ask your questions, discuss any worries, and chat through your birth preferences.

My Complete Birth Preparation Course covers all aspects of labour and birth, with an emphasis on how Hypnobirthing tools and techniques can help you to navigate your pregnancy, labour and birth with confidence. The aim of the course is to help you feel complete control and autonomy over your birth experience, whatever happens on the day.

Each course consists of x3 3hr sessions jam packed full of information & fun interactive learning. You and your birth partner will gain a huge amount of knowledge about the physiology of birth, how to support your birthing body, how to navigate the maternity system and ultimately bags of confidence for your upcoming birth.

When to start a course?

Most people choose to start their course between 20 – 34 weeks, to give enough time to soak up all the information and practise the hypnobirthing tools and techniques. However, there’s really no ‘set’ time to start a course – it’s totally up to you!

I’ve had people who have felt really nervous about birth start as early as 12 weeks, and others who only found my course later in pregnancy start around 36 weeks! Some like to have all the information early on, whereas others prefer to do a course closer to the birth so it’s fresh in their mind!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely! Research shows it can help make labour shorter and more comfortable. It’s also been linked to fewer medical interventions (like forceps, ventouse & c-sections), and women report less desire for pain relief. Hypnobirthing is becoming a popular choice for mums wanting to feel empowered, in control, and truly prepared for whatever path their pregnancy and birth may take. 

Here’s the thing: when we’re scared or tense, our bodies actually make labour harder and more painful. Hypnobirthing teaches you how to relax deeply and stay calm, which helps your body (the muscles and hormones) do its job better. When you’re relaxed, your uterus contracts more easily, so things can progress more smoothly (and sometimes quicker too!).

Hypnobirthing is not just a trend. More and more midwives and NHS Trusts are backing it because they’ve seen the positive difference it can make.

NCT is one of the more traditional choices for antenatal education—it’s been around for decades and is still a popular choice for many parents. NCT classes typically follow a standard format, covering topics like the stages of labour, common birth scenarios, and basic newborn care (like nappy changing and feeding). Some parents choose to do my course instead of NCT, whereas others choose to do both. 

While useful for general information, NCT doesn’t cover the practical Hypnobirthing techniques I teach – like tools to support your mindset, how to work with your body and ways to stay calm and in control during labour. My courses are designed to go deeper, helping you to understand your options, navigate the maternity system, build your confidence, and feel genuinely prepared for all the twists and turns birth can bring.

Most people choose to start their course between 20 – 34 weeks, to give enough time to soak up all the information and practise the hypnobirthing tools and techniques. However, there’s really no ‘set’ time to start a course – it’s totally up to you! Some like to have all the information early on, whereas others prefer to do a course closer to the birth so it’s fresh in their mind!

Yes – I highly recommend them to join the course. Your birth partner is the one person who will be with you throughout your pregnancy and birth, so it’s important you feel prepared, supported and are a team. Birth partners play a vital role during labour, and being part of the course will help them feel confident, informed, and ready to support and advocate for you.

Yes! A common misconception is that a hypnobirthing course is just for people planning a homebirth or a ‘drug free’ birth. The tools and techniques you will learn will be so helpful for navigating all the possible twists and turns your pregnancy may take, with confidence. When you’re classed as ‘high risk’, you may face more challenging decisions or be offered more interventions. The course can help you understand your options clearly, know the right questions to ask, and help you to make choices that feel right for you and your baby.

Yes! I have taught birth teams all over the world. The course content can be applied to any birth setting and maternity system. The course will give you the tools and confidence to know what questions to ask your healthcare providers so you can get the best care possible.
