Hypnobirthing

Birth can feel like one big unknown. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, it’s natural to have questions, fears, or simply a desire to feel more prepared. That’s where antenatal education comes in.

Many expectant parents find themselves:

  • Anxious about the birthing process and what to expect
  • Confused by conflicting advice and information
  • Struggling to fit group antenatal classes into busy schedules
  • Wanting personalised support that addresses their specific concerns
  • Unsure how to involve their birth partner effectively

I teach The Mindful Natal® Course from The Mindful Birth Group®—a modern, inclusive course that combines hypnobirthing and mindfulness. It’s designed for every kind of birth, from home water birth to planned caesarean and everything in between.

The course brings birth preparation to you, combining hypnobirthing, mindfulness, and practical tools to fit your schedule and unique concerns.

“As a midwife myself I had a lot of knowledge already but really wanted some extra support for myself and my partner in preparing for birth with a calm mindset. Rachel’s approach is really relaxed and friendly, she gave information that was balanced and non judgemental. I’ve no doubt that Rachel’s tips made a big difference to my birth experience. Really recommend the course or using Rachel’s other services to help optimise your pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience.”
Hannah, Midwife
“I am so grateful to Rachel for her guidance and support during our two private sessions in the comfort of our home. I gave birth at 42+2 so really needed her gentle reassurance and someone to help work through all my questions on hypnobirthing. It was a game changer for me and really gave me the confidence to be assertive in the delivery room and be clear with my preferences. I had a really beautiful pool birth in hospital without any pain relief, largely due to some powerful breathing techniques. Thank you, Rachel!” Carey Deane Perry

1-to-1 antenatal teaching

If you’re looking for private at-home antenatal hypnobirthing classes, or perhaps your local antenatal group courses don’t fit in with your schedule, then a 1:1 course is a brilliant option for you.

This in-person or online course is an antenatal education, and covers all that you need to know ahead of birth, with a carefully curated mix of hypnobirthing, mindfuless, practical tools, balanced information, and is supportive of ALL birth preferences and choices.

The PregnaHub® App is your pregnancy companion and new parenthood guide. The App contains on-demand content that you can use to prepare ahead of birth, and dip back into as and when you need in parenthood. App access is included when booking a private course (or available on a monthly/one-off basis here).
