The pregnant Mum attends with whoever will be her companion during labour – this may be a husband, partner, friend, sister, mum, etc. It is vital that the birth companion attends classes as well as the pregnant Mum, as they will play an active part in the birthing experience.
• £250 per couple for group sessions (maximum of 4 couples)
• £375 per couple for individual sessions
Classes are held at my home in Barnsley.
Class places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment. Please get in touch to discuss individual classes; I will try my best to accommodate your schedule. Further 2011 dates will be released later in the year.
Please contact me for details
It is recommended you wait until you are a least 14 weeks pregnant before you start coming to classes. However, there is no cut off point – you can benefit from HypnoBirthing® classes even if you are more than 35 weeks pregnant (although in such special circumstances, it would be best to run the classes closer together). The sooner you enrol, the more time you will have to practice the fabulous techniques you will use throughout pregnancy and labour, that said, HypnoBirthing® has successfully been used by mothers who have given birth days after completing the course!
