Love Story Birth

Upcoming workshops in person in Bow (in Bow near Victoria Park). February 7 and 21 | 2:00-5:00PM.

Part I February 7: All things hypnobirthing

Part II February 21: All things birth

…that fit into three hours of course! Part I condenses session one and two of my full course and Part II condenses session three and four. These are a much more affordable alternative to a full course if you’re short on time or are adding them on to another antenatal course. I’d recommend both (as the slides point out…there is a lot of nuance!) but you can choose to book just one.

It wasn’t my first birth that inspired me to become a hypnobirthing teacher. That birth was beautiful and calm, despite shoulder dystocia, and I wouldn’t describe it as painful. It was my second birth, in a labour ward, where my husband and I worked much harder to have the birth I envisioned, where it was a constant challenge to get into my zone (for various reasons) and where I would describe it as painful. My first birth fascinated me and left me in awe of my body, my second birth empowered me and left me in awe of myself.

Remember that the biggest challenges are often the most transformative…the most empowering…the things that leave you in awe of yourself. ✨

Reframing the way you think about challenges, birth, medical support and even pain is an important aspect of hypnobirthing. If this sounds interesting to you, please join my February workshops where we’ll learn all about hypnobirthing and preparing for birth in a way that centres you and your experience. 🩷

I’ve had quite a lot of inquiries recently so I’ve created a workshop in two parts to try and accommodate those hoping for a workshop and those hoping for a full course. We’ll meet in the middle (and you can save £30 by booking both)! See my website for more details or to book…or read on.

The first workshop is a clearer guide to hypnobirthing. If you want a detailed practice you can do to feel more confident and relaxed in the lead up to birth, to know how hypnobirthing works or to know how to use it if plans change, this is for you. If your birth partner wants to know how to support you through pregnancy and birth, this is for them too. You’ll receive a couple small but mighty tools and several MP3s and scripts to help support your pregnancy and birth.

The second workshop is a deeper dive into preparing for a positive birth. You (and your birth partner) will learn about your incredible body in labour (very cool and should be standard learning), think about when you might call your midwife or go in, birth positions, pushing techniques, what happens when you’re baby is born, etc. You’ll receive several handouts and resources to support your birth and beyond.

Spaces are limited. If you have any questions feel free to reach out and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
