Hypnobirthing is a complete antenatal course. It uses guided relaxation, breathing and massage techniques to help women and their partners release the negativity and fear with which our society views birth and reconnect with the simplicity and calm of a baby’s natural entry into the world. I teach Hypnobirthing one to one in your own home, or in groups. I can also offer discounts for special circumstances, so please contact me to discuss your individual needs.
