Group Hypnobirthing Classes in Horsham

Feel calm, confident and genuinely prepared for your baby's birth with our Horsham Group Hypnobirthing Course.

Run over three relaxed Saturday morning sessions, this comprehensive antenatal course combines evidence-based birth education with practical Hypnobirthing tools and techniques for both you and your birth partner.

You'll understand what actually happens in your body during labour, learn how to work with your birth hormones rather than against them, and build a whole toolkit of practical ways to stay calm, comfortable and in control.

If you're searching for Hypnobirthing in Horsham, comparing antenatal or NCT classes in Horsham, or simply want to feel much more prepared for labour and birth, this course will give you the knowledge and practical skills to approach the day with confidence.

Course dates

Session 1 – Saturday 16th January, 10am–1pm
Session 2 – Saturday 23rd January, 10am–1pm
Session 3 – Saturday 30th January, 10am–1pm

Your ticket covers you and your birth partner for all three sessions.

What will we cover?

There's a lot more to Rise & Glow than breathing techniques!

You'll learn:

• how labour actually works and what helps your body birth more effectively
• practical breathing and deep relaxation techniques
• ways to make contractions feel more manageable
• massage, touch, acupressure and other physical comfort techniques
• how to create a calm birth environment
• birth positions and movement for labour
• the benefits of water and water birth
• confident decision-making and flexible birth planning
• what to expect if induction, epidural or caesarean birth becomes part of your journey
• how to reduce fear and feel more in control
• exactly what your birth partner can do to support you throughout labour and birth

By the end of the course, you'll understand your body and your options so much better – and you'll both have plenty of practical things you can actually do when labour begins.

A proper antenatal course – not just relaxation

Rise & Glow combines Hypnobirthing with comprehensive antenatal education, so you don't need to take another birth-preparation course alongside it unless you want to.

We'll talk openly and realistically about all kinds of births, including inductions, epidurals and caesareans, alongside physiological birth, water birth and other options.

There's no "perfect" Rise & Glow birth to aim for.

The goal is for you to feel informed, involved and confident in your decisions, whatever path your birth takes.

And birth partners are very much part of the course too. They'll leave knowing how to help you relax, make you more comfortable, protect your birth environment and support you confidently with decisions.

Meet your Horsham Hypnobirthing teacher

Your course will be taught by Kathryn, a mum of two and qualified teacher based in Broadbridge Heath, Horsham.

After a long first labour which eventually involved an epidural and oxytocin drip, Kathryn discovered Hypnobirthing while preparing for the birth of her second baby.

Her second experience couldn't have felt more different. She laboured calmly at home using breathing, relaxation and visualisation techniques before heading into hospital, where her son Lucas was born in the birth pool just a few hours later.

For Kathryn, the biggest difference wasn't simply the type of birth she had – it was understanding what was happening, feeling in control and having practical tools to use throughout labour.

That experience inspired her to train as a Hypnobirthing teacher and help other local families approach birth feeling knowledgeable, supported and confident too.

Hypnobirthing & antenatal classes for Horsham families

Our Horsham course is ideal for expectant parents living in Horsham, Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Slinfold, Billingshurst, Rudgwick and the surrounding West Sussex villages.

Kathryn also supports families privately across the wider area, including Pulborough, Petworth and Cranleigh.

Local parents may be receiving antenatal care in Horsham or preparing to give birth at maternity units including East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath, Worthing Hospital or St Richard's Hospital in Chichester.

Wherever you're planning to give birth, everything you learn on the course is designed to help you understand your choices and feel more confident navigating maternity care.

Looking at NCT classes in Horsham too?

You don't necessarily have to choose one or the other.

Some parents choose NCT classes in Horsham for broader preparation for early parenthood and meeting other local families, then take Rise & Glow for more in-depth preparation specifically for labour, birth and Hypnobirthing.

Others use Rise & Glow as their main antenatal birth-preparation course.

If you're comparing local options, our focus is particularly on giving both you and your birth partner a deep understanding of birth plus practical tools you can use on the day.

About the venue

Our Horsham Group Hypnobirthing Courses take place at our cosy home-based venue in Broadbridge Heath, Horsham (RH12). Exact location will be provided on booking. 

Classes are kept intentionally small and relaxed, so there's plenty of space for questions, discussion and getting to know the other expectant parents in your group.

Spaces are limited – book your place for our January Horsham Hypnobirthing Course below.
