Our Abbey Wood Group Hypnobirthing course is run over three sessions on Saturday mornings 9:30am - 12:30pm, starting on Weds 5th August 2023 in our cosy home venue in Abbey Wood. 

Get confident and prepared for your baby's birth! Learn the amazing physiology of what actually happens in your body during labour, and understand how to maximise your body's natural birthing power for an easier, faster birth. In our classes, you and your birth partner will gain a tonne of practical tools & techniques that will help you to have an amazing positive birth!

About the Venue:

Our cosy home venue is ideal for small group classes and the perfect place to prepare for a positive birth. If you are driving, there is free parking directly outside the venue, which is an easy drive from most places in South East London, including Welling, Bexleyheath, Greenwich and Catford. Our Abbey Wood hypnobirthing class venue is on the 99 and 469 bus routes which connect in 5-10 minutes to Abbey Wood station and Woolwich Arsenal Station. Both of these stations are on the high-speed Elizabeth Line, meaning our venue is easy to get to from central London by public transport.

In order to keep the classes small and intimate, spaces are limited so book early to secure your place!

See you there,

Laura xx
