Whenever you like. There isn't a one size fits all approach to this. It sometimes benefits people to leave the course until later in their pregnancy but it has also helped people from 12 weeks feel less anxious and more prepared- I have taught people at various stages of pregnancy.

Please just make sure you have had your 12 week scan.

We cover induction on the full course but not in huge detail.

The induction course runs once a week and is designed for clients to be able to jump on last-minute if necessary - it has elements of Hypnobirthing and you get access to all of my Hypnobirthing materials. If you have done the full course with me already contact me for a discount on the induction price.

You can also do both courses, there is a discount for this and you can purchase as a bundle so please get in contact with me.

You birth partner is welcomed and encouraged!

No. I am a qualified Hypnobirthing teacher and a three step rewind accredited but I have had no formal medical training.

We are fortunate to have the NHS and amazing midwife and health care workers available to us.

I never comment on specific medical circumstances although I do discuss them generally and can direct you to lots of further reading and information, much of which I will have studied myself.

My role is to teach you about the physiological process of birth and labour, we also cover the golden hour which is the hour after birth.

I am trained to help you feel empowered and confident, I can also help you to source evidence-based information for any issue that may arise in your pregnancy.

I cannot promise you a pain-free birth in the water but I can promise that you will feel knowledgeable and in a much better position to make decisions and plan the right birth for you effectively after my course.

This course helps you successfully navigate changes in both your pregnancy and labour that may change your preferences. I like to cover all eventualities and your birth preferences are just that, preferences that may be subject to change.

This course is for all births by all people.

Mindset matters and that’s what I help with along with lots of practical and evidence-based hints and tips
