Birth Essentials 

Delivered by award-winning hypnobirthing coach, Hannah Pearman-Eddon.

If you have found yourself on this page, I can only assume that you yearn to have a positive birth experience, but so far have had very little time to think about it. You havent yet been able to prioritise your upcoming birth, and you're worried its too late... it's never too late. 

I'm Hannah, a UK qualified teacher and award-winning hypnobirthing practitioner. If you are here to ensure that you feel confident and empowered throughout your pregnancy and birth, then this course is for you. If you want your birth partner to feel incredibly knowledgeable and feel confident and committed to advocating for you and protecting your space in birth, then I absolutely cannot wait to be your Hypnobirthing and Antenatal coach.

The Birth Essentials course is not your average hypnobirthing and antenatal 'intensive' course.  There are a few elements that make it quite special:

Firstly, its designed for Birth Teams who are tight on time due to the contact time being only 3-5 hours. But, due to the bespoke nature and the holistic 'through-line' of care that is provided before and after your Essentials session, you will still feel that you have a private Birth Coach. An expert in your corner and available to cheerlead you, calm you and empower you throughout the rest of your pregnancy and labour.

Additionally, this package is completely tailored to you and your birth team's individual needs.

We have a consultation before our session and, from that point onwards, every single aspect of the package is bespoke. Everything is personalised and based on any fears, past experiences and requirements, whether they be physical, mental, educational or emotional.

You'll notice this personalisation in the lesson content, resources, birthing audio scripts and follow-up care.

This is not a one-size-fits-all course. It's me learning about you, your pregnancy, your baby and your family.

Another aspect of this course that sets it apart from many others is the holistic care from start to finish... and beyond.

This course is for birthing people from 35 weeks who don't feel they have time for the Full Confident Birth Package (10 hours, see main page for details).

The course is between 3 and 5 hours long depending on what you would like covered. It is usually delivered as a standalone morning workshop, but other arrangements are available; this work is designed to fit around you and your family

After your 3-5 hour Essentials session, you will recieve continued support all the way up to, through, and after the birth of your baby, through ongoing WhatsApp support, video check-ins and in-person home visits.

The reason for this ongoing care and support leads me to the most important aspect of this course that makes it unique: the focus on ensuring you and your birth partner are equipped to navigate new unchartered waters. You will be ready to navigate both the NHS maternity system and navigate life at home with a new baby.

The ongoing care I provide includes support alongside potentially challenging appointments, check-ins on the big day if desired, and care calls or home visits once baby is here to help you transition into your whole new world and signpost you to what can help you 

I will be there for these crucial moments, so that you and your family have someone in your corner.

In our consultation we will discuss what you are in need of the most and choose how to spend your 3-5 hours.

Your options for course content and how long they typically take to explore are below:

• The science of the mind and impact on positive birth- 1 hour 
• Practical tools for relaxation and a calm, positive, confident mindset in pregnancy- 1 hour
• How our bodies work and might feel in each stage of birth, and techniques to give you the optimal experience: positioning, calm texhniques, birth partner.- 2 hours 
• Your options for where to gove birth- 1 hour
• Your options for intervention, medication and inductions- 2 hours 
• How to navigate and work WITH the maternity system; knowing what to expect, being prepared for the obstacles, and both you and your partner developing a confident, empowered voice, supported by me- 2 hours 

The time frames above are an indication of common course duration spent on each topic. Your 3-5 hours will be flexibly tailored and do not need to stick to the exact time frames above. I will adapt and find a way to make it work for you.

My Credentials, Experience, and Journey

I am a certified Hypnobirthing coach, trained with the Love Your Birth school (a FEDANT accredited provider). I hold the award from my training provider for Outstanding performance and dedication.

I am also a UK-qualified teacher with a postgraduate certificate in education.

During my 13 years in professional teaching, I gained additional qualifications and experience in coaching, wellbeing, and meditation. My path shifted after my own personal experiences; I used hypnobirthing for two very different births that were both euphoric and life-changing. These experiences led me to transition from my teaching career and retrain as an antenatal practitioner so I can support others in finding that same confidence.
