Group Hypnobirthing Classes in Nottingham
Hypnobirthing is simply birth preparation. It helps you and your partner prepare for the birth of your baby using evidence based knowledge and practical tools to support you during pregnancy, birth and beyond. It empowers you to make informed decisions for you and your baby not just for birth but also in parenthood. It helps you to understand what is happening to you body during birth, how to support and aid it and helps you to feel confident, relaxed and calm whatever path your birth takes because it practically prepared you for all different birth paths.
My style of hypnobirthing is interactive, relaxed and honest. I use the latest evidence & studies to support your learning; there is never a silly question when it comes to birth and my sessions are relaxed allowing for discussion and questions. Knowledge is power, the more you know the more confident and informed you will feel and the more likely you will feel relaxed and calm on the day no matter what path your birth takes.
My group hypnobirthing classes are held at the beautiful Natural Wellness Centre in the heart of Nottingham City Centre. If you are interested in 1:1 antenatal or hypnobirthing sessions online or in your home you can find out more here.
