Courses
I offer the following courses, please don't hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss any aspect of the courses.
One-to-one sessions 3 hours – 16 hours at £20 per hour (tailored to your requirements)
I recognise that group antenatal sessions do not suit everyone and I offer personal,
one-to-one birth preparations classes, tailored to your own specific needs. It may
be that work commitments prevent you attending regular classes, or maybe one or
other of you are already a parent. It may be that this is your second or subsequent
baby and you want to talk through your previous experiences before this birth.
These sessions can be held in your own home and give you the opportunity to ask
the questions that are important to you. You can choose as few or as many sessions
as you need. Although a minimum of 3 hours is suggested, many parents find 6 – 8
hours works well although you may book extra sessions up to a total of 16 hours.
HypnoBirthing course 6 hours £125 per couple (includes handbook and personalised CDs)
to be continued...
Early pregnancy workshop 2 hours £30 Shh, it’s a secret...
Most antenatal courses are aimed at couples towards their baby’s due date, however as I mum myself I know how exciting (and daunting) the first few months of pregnancy can be. Therefore this 2 hour session is for mums in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy, to talk about the emotional and physical changes you might experience, looking after yourself (such as eating well and exercise) and the opportunity to discuss antenatal screening tests. Please contact me for dates and availability.
Practical Baby Care workshop 2 hours £30
A 2 hour workshop held in the comfort of your own home, looking at different baby care routines and tips on how to care for your newborn, with the aim instill you with confidence.

There will be time throughout for questions & demonstrations.
