Who is Hypnobirthing for?

​

Absolutely EVERYBODY expecting to give birth is suitable for the course. Hypnobirthing is not for one specific type of birth, it is a system of letting go and gaining confidence, which is suitable whether you are planning a home birth, hospital birth, elective caesarean birth, if you have medical conditions, if you are looking to have pain relief, having mutiples... the list goes on. I believe it is the most important antenatal course for mothers to have in preparation for giving birth, no matter what the circumstances.

Does Hypnbirthing mean no pain?

​

​The aim of hypnobirthing is not to promise a pain free birth, it provides an understanding of how the mind affects the body and how this can influence comfort levels and perception of pain during labour. There are many stories of mothers having pain free births after using hypnobirthing, but the goal is to reframe the way we experience pain to allow for a more comfortable and calm birth.

Where are the group classes held?

​

They are usually held at The Den Yoga Studio in Wigan (1a Westbridge Mews, WN1 1XN). The Den is a beautifully calm space where you will feel comfortable and relaxed - perfect for hypnobirthing classes.

Does my partner come with me?

​

Yes! The course is specially designed to help prepare the mother but also the birth partner for birth. The birth partner is an essential support to a labouring woman, and whether this is a romantic partner, family member or doula, they are a vital part of support. Birth partners will feel more confident in their role during labour after taking the course.

When should I take the course?

​

Any time from 20 weeks is ideal. The longer you have to practise the techniques, the more you will get out of the course. That's not to say you can't start at 39 weeks, it will still be massively beneficial to have the tools in your belt for when the time comes.

How far do you travel for private classes?

​

I am happy to work with new clients within a 15 mile radius of Wigan. Anything further afield may incur a small cost. Please get in touch and I will be happy to discuss what works best for you.
