Childbirth as horror: Ten Twilight-Related Facts About Childbirth

My Hypnobirthing Classes

I run various courses:  
The Wise Hippo course is much more comprehensive and takes place in your home over 10 hours.
Custom 'Express' Classes depend on your needs. I am available to work with you at your home (daytime weekday sessions only available) to help you grasp the techniques and plan a customised practice routine.
All courses include a refresher session at 36 weeks, a postnatal session and the option to buy a personalised hypnobirthing CD.

My service to you

  • If there is something you want to discuss in more detail, we will do so – it’s a bespoke course.
  • If there is something in the course which doesn’t seem to work for you, we will leave it and find something that suits you better!
  • I’m accessible to all my clients so that they feel reassured and supported right through the “new baby” period
  • I have over 10 years experience working with birthing women - making me now of the more experienced practitioners in the London area
