Autumn Group Hypnobirthing Antental Course

Group Hypnobirthing Antenatal Course Info:

WHERE and WHEN?

Sessions are delivered across 4 Wednesday evenings at Smiley Happy People, Egloskerry Primary School, near Launceston, Cornwall. Each session begins at 6:30pm and will last approximately 3 hours.

WHY THIS ANTENATAL COURSE?

It isn't just a standard antenatal course. We look at all aspects of labour and birth but also focus on relaxation techniques and strengthening the mind-body connection to facilitate a more gentle birth experience. No question is too ridiculous! I'm here to answer questions, provide information and guidance, to signpost you to advice and resources and support you as you prepare to birth your baby.

My aim is to empower pregnant mothers and their birth partner/s and to support them in their preparation for a calm and positive birth experience.
