1-1 Hypnobirthing Course with Sophie
Please note this can be on Zoom worldwide or in person within 30 minutes of Wendover, Buckinghamshire
I have developed my own popular hypnobirthing course which has two main goals – realistic and up to date antenatal education using my experience as a midwife and effective relaxation techniques so that you and your birth partner can have a calm, positive birth experience. If you don’t finish my hypnobirthing course feeling like you can do anything, then I haven’t succeeded in my goal!
Most people do their hypnobirthing course over 6 hours or 9 hours but antenatal clients can also do our ‘mini’ hypnobirthing course which is 3 hours.
6 hour hypnobirthing course: £350 (or £295 for antenatal clients)
Mini Hypnobirthing Course (1:1 at your home, only available to antenatal clients): £195
Send me an email at sophie@thevillagemidwife.co.uk fif you have any questions or check my upcoming availability here!
Book your 1:1 course with a £100 deposit below and pay the rest in installments or nearer the time.
You also get priority booking for postnatal courses (like my group antenatal course clients) which are great for meeting local mum friends at the same stage as you.
What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing involves breathing and relaxation exercises to prepare you for giving birth but this course is much, much more than that. You learn how to navigate the maternity system from the inside out, plus your birth partner learns how to be the best birth partner they can possibly be! I can also give you support with aromatherapy and positioning to help get baby into the best position possible to be born in as I have done extra training in both of these aspects of pregnancy preparation!
My course is different to many of the hypnobirthing courses out there because it focuses on fear releasing and rewiring any negative thoughts, but also on bonding with your baby both in your pregnancy and after your baby has been born. I’m also a midwife so you get the benefit of my experience with any questions you might have! My course also has relaxation techniques for after your baby has been born which help the transition into parenthood which I feel is important. You also get ongoing support from me during pregnancy and after you’ve had your baby.
When and where do you teach hypnobirthing and when can I sign up?
You can start hypnobirthing anywhere from 25 weeks but I’ve even had clients start a course at 38 weeks - it’s up to you! I teach in person at your home or over Zoom - in person is within 30 minutes of Wendover, Bucks.
Is it only for parents in Buckinghamshire?
No! I actually teach quite a few parents to be from across the UK and on occasion even clients in different countries! If you are more than half an hour (driving) from Wendover in Buckinghamshire then I teach over Zoom and post your Village Midwife bag and handout to you beforehand!
Why do you mainly teach hypnobirthing 1:1?
This is because I find being at home can help you and your partner feel as relaxed as possible which is really important when it comes to hypnobirthing. Also lots of parents like to discuss any fears or worries they might have before we move on to how to effectively relax during pregnancy and birth. It also means everything we cover is tailored to you. Plus - for those of you who have busy schedules it means we can fit around times that works for you, for example if this is your 2nd/3rd child we can work around bedtimes!
What if I also want to do a group antenatal course with you?
Lots of couples actually do both! If you’re doing an antenatal course with me then you have the option of a 6 hour or 3 hour hypnobirthing course with me as we cover all of the antenatal education you need on the group course. It’s a nice combination because you get the ongoing support of your new group of friends from the course and all of the information we go through as a group but you also have some time with me individually to talk through any fears or worries you may have and to fine tune the hypnobirthing techniques according to what you need!
It’s my 2nd/3rd baby and I want a quick recap but would also like to meet other parents, do you ever do group courses?
Yes! For 2nd/3rd time parents I have a specific hypnobirthing course with the refreshers information as part of the course which can be 1:1 or in a group course called ‘refreshers courses’
