Chislehurst Group Hypnobirthing Course - Oct 2026

Chislehurst Group Hypnobirthing Course

Feel calm, confident and fully equipped for birth and baby with our friendly and evidence-based antenatal classes in South East London and Kent.

These classes combine practical birth education, powerful hypnobirthing tools, newborn preparation and honest conversations about modern birth and parenthood, helping you feel more confident whatever path your birth takes.

Suitable for:

• first-time parents, as well as parents expecting baby number two/three/four (or more!)
• expectant parents planning a hospital birth, birth centre birth, or home birth
• those hoping for a calm, positive, empowering birth experience
• anyone wanting evidence-based antenatal preparation without fear-based messaging
• birth partners wanting to feel fully involved in supporting mum during labour
• anyone wanting to feel more informed, more relaxed, and more confident heading into birth.

While many parents joining the course are hoping for a low-intervention or “natural” birth experience, hypnobirthing tools can be incredibly valuable whatever direction birth takes, including inductions, epidurals and caesarean births too.

No pressure to have a certain kind of birth...just realistic, supportive preparation grounded in both evidence and compassion.

Birth Partners

Birth partners are highly encouraged to attend our antenatal hypnobirthing classes as they have an important role to play, and your ticket includes access to all sessions for both of you. Your birth partner can be anyone who you want supporting you during your baby’s birth.

What We Cover Each Week

Session 1: Understanding Birth & The Mind-Body Connection

We begin by unpacking what actually happens during labour and birth, helping you replace fear and uncertainty with understanding and confidence.

Topics include:

• the science of what your body ACTUALLY does during labour
• the different stages of birth
• mind over matter: managing pain in labour
• using natural hypnosis for birth
• breathing techniques for labour

This session lays the foundations for approaching birth feeling calmer, more informed and more in control.

Session 2: Practical Tools For Labour & Birth Preparation

This session focuses on practical techniques and preparation tools to help you feel supported and adaptable whatever direction birth takes.

We cover:

• massage techniques for labour
• acupressure and aromatherapy for labour
• how to write your birth plan
• birth partner tools
• hypnobirthing for caesarean births

This is the session where everything starts to feel much more real...and much less scary!

Session 3: Confident Birth Preparation & Decision Making

Our final session brings everything together, helping you feel prepared both physically and mentally for labour and birth.

We cover:

• birth positions for an easier birth
• waterbirths and their benefits for mum and baby
• confident decision making: how to have a positive induction
• how to “breathe your baby out”
• how to avoid tearing during birth

By the end of the course, you’ll feel far more prepared, informed and confident heading into birth and early parenthood.

A Calm & Supportive Space To Prepare For Birth

Pregnancy can feel overwhelming sometimes.

There’s so much information online, so many opinions, and often a lot of fear surrounding birth.

These classes are designed to help you tune out the noise and feel properly supported, informed and prepared in a calm, welcoming environment.

I’d love to see you and your birth partner there!
