Antenatal + Hypnobirthing courses in Norwich
Suitable from 16 weeks +
Picture yourself a month from now, feeling fully prepared and excited for birth! Wouldn’t it feel amazing to not feel scared or anxious? Wouldn't it feel reassuring to have a plan A, B, C and D, knowing you are equipped to handle any curve ball and change of plan which comes your way?
Birth can come with a lot of fear, and this can impact your pregnancy experience and make for a more stressful birth. My Antenatal + Hypnobirthing course can help you change that.
If you are wanting a practical, evidence-based, honest antenatal course, you're in the right place. Whether you are planning a hospital, water or home birth, and whether you want all the pain relief or none at all, it makes no difference to me. My course will equip you with everything you need practically, and mentally to prepare for your "once in a lifetime" experience, so you have the best experience possible. You will remember the birth of your baby for the rest of your life, so preparing for it and getting educated is one of the best decisions you can make during your pregnancy.
My group courses are run in person from 'The Snug' in Taverham. Bespoke 1-1 courses are available subject to availability, so get in touch for a no-pressure chat.
