Enhancing the birth experience
for Mother & Baby.

This course can be taken at any time in your pregnancy. An ideal time to start is towards the end of your second trimester/ start of your third trimester. The earlier you learn the techniques NLP & hypnotherapy have to offer the more time you will have practice & take advantage of the benefits they bring.
 
Courses consist of 4 sessions of approximately an hour and a half.
In the 4th session I like to incorporate ideas from your birth plan so it would help if you could bring that along &/or have a good sense in mind of how you want your labour & birth to progress.
If you miss a session on your course join that session for free on the next course.
Each session is complete in itself & each is a relaxing experience for mother & baby.To ensure your comfort you may like to bring along a pillow &/or a blanket. 
Please wear comfortable clothing.
Refreshments are not provided, so please bring along bottled water/ juice if you need a drink.
 
The Confident Childbirth Course costs £200.
Individual sessions of an hour are available at £60.

My Own Experience
Prior to labour, in my third trimester, I encouraged my son into the 'occiput anterior' position using optimal fetal positioning techniques. 
I gave birth to my son in a birthing pool using hypnotherapy & no chemical analgesia.
I laboured from 19:30 to just after midnight, thats less than 5 hours!
It was my first experience of labour.
My son had a high 'Apgar score' & I didn't require any further medical intervention. 
 
That was over 9 years ago & I have since become a hypnotherapist myself. I am passionate that hypnotherapy & NLP can enhance your experience of pregnancy & labour.  Let me show you how.
