There can be huge benefits to both group and private sessions.

If you’re considering private then some benefits may include:
01

Getting unhurried, bespoke birth preparation and Hypnobirthing coaching without the ties to a group schedule

02

Time for me to answer any questions you may have as we go along, as well as time to explore your personal thoughts and feelings.

03

Sessions held in the comfort of your own home (in person or online via Google Meets), at times to suit you and your birth partner

I have two course options if you feel private antenatal support is for you…

Ready to take back control? Get ready to birth on your own terms

This is my ultimate, private birth preparation offering.

You will be armed with knowledge and tools that will stack the odds in your favour for an empowering and positive labour and birth – however that may be for you on the day.

When is it best to book the Complete Hypnobirthing course?

This course is perfect if you are anywhere between 20-36 weeks pregnant, and although most women choose to start their course during their second trimester, if you are a little later on in your pregnancy you will still benefit from the course immensely. For some, having it fresh in their mind towards the end works best, for others, the more time to get clued up and practice techniques the better.

  • The science behind what ACTUALLY happens in birth; physiology, hormones and muscles
  • How to optimise your birthing hormones to boost your birth to the max

  • How to relax deeply and quickly using breathing techniques, visualisations and self-hypnosis
  • Practical techniques to support your body’s natural birthing power for a more comfortable birth
  • Your choices in birth including birth place options, pain relief, induction of labour, cesarean section
  • Non-medical comfort measures for birth including water birth, massage, TENS machine and birth comb

“I couldn’t recommend Mollie enough. What a huge comfort this course has been, Mollie has been our angel has filled us with reassurance and also excitement. My husband and I have both felt guided and it’s helped us connect with the journey of pregnancy and preparation more than we could have imagined. I would recommend Mollie to you with my whole heart.. I feel grateful that someone recommended her to me in my early pregnancy.”

“We decided to do Mollie’s 1 to 1 hypnobirthing course and we couldn’t recommend it more. Mollie is extremely knowledgeable and her course has made us feel so much more prepared and excited for birth. She has an extremely kind and warm nature which made us feel comfortable to ask any question (even if it seemed a bit silly!). We were genuinely sad when the course had finished but we now feel incredibly informed for birth. We can’t thank Mollie enough for her time and we would highly recommend this course to anyone that is thinking about doing it!”

The Hypnobirthing Essentials Course

Need to fast-track your preparations for birth?

From fearful to fearless in just one session…

This is my popular, whistle-stop ‘essentials’ tour of Hypnobirthing. Think of it as a very condensed, mini version of my complete course, focusing on the key Hypnobirthing methods and antenatal education. After the session you and your birth partner will feel equipped with practical tools to support you through labour, boosting your confidence for birth and beyond.

Who is it for?

This course is perfect for those who have limited time before their baby arrives, have a smaller birth prep budget, or who are doing another antenatal course (e.g. NCT) but would still love all of the incredible benefits of some personalised Hypnobirthing coaching. It can also be great for those who have got something specific they would like to explore further, such as preparing for a homebirth/HBAC/VBAC/birthing outside of guidelines. I endeavor to take into careful consideration your unique circumstances and personal preferences and make the most of our time together. The Hypnobirthing Essentials Course might be small, but it is mighty!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes! Those that really throw themselves into their practise, and embody all that Hypnobirthing teaches can stack the odds in their favour of a better birth experience.

Recent evidence shows that Hypnobirthing can make labour shorter, more comfortable and significantly reduce rates of medical intervention; including the need for pain relief, assisted (forceps/ventouse) births and unplanned caesarean births. Hypnobirthing is scientific and evidence-based, so don’t let the name put you off!

More and more women are choosing to prepare for birth in this way, including many famous faces! It has gained popularity with Midwives worldwide, with many teaching Hypnobirthing themselves and even NHS Trust’s investing in their training. 

Where possible I strongly recommend you complete the course with your birth partner.  In order for you to work as the best birth team possible on the day, your birth partner needs to have the same preparation, knowledge and Hypnobirthing understanding as you. 

Learning and preparing together in this way also brings you closer together as a team, and can be a true highlight of your pregnancy. It gives you a dedicated space to discuss your thoughts, opinions, and wishes for birth and beyond, and also give you the opportunity to open up more important conversations following on from the course.

If you don’t have a partner you are of course welcome to do the course alone. However you are welcome to have a friend, relative, doula or someone else to support you through the course too.

NCT classes are a traditional form of group antenatal education, and have been around for a very long time (your parents or even grandparents possibly did them). They follow a very ‘text book’ format. You learn about labour and some of your main options around this, as well as baby care – such as how to change a nappy. 

On an NCT course you won’t learn the practical Hypnobirthing tools and techniques for pregnancy and birth that I teach. As well as all of the information around your choices and navigating the maternity system, my Hypnobirthing courses are about transforming your mindset, supporting you in pregnancy and labour.

Some parents-to-be choose to do my course instead of NCT, while some choose to do both. 

If you are very keen to make new parent friends, my Group Hypnobirthing classes are a brilliant way to meet likeminded people.

You can start a course whenever feels right for you! Most women choose to start their course during their second trimester, but if you are a little later on in your pregnancy you will still benefit from the course immensely. 

An ideal time to start is anytime from 20-34 weeks pregnant. For some, having the information fresh in their mind towards the end of pregnancy works best. For others, the more time to get clued up and practise techniques, the better! It’s never too early OR too late to start – it’s totally up to you!

Not at all! Hypnobirthing can hugely benefit all kinds of births in all birth places (not just for those having water births at home). If you find yourself being classed as ‘high risk’ in your pregnancy, Hypnobirthing can give you the practical tools to support yourself in different environments and scenarios, and can even decrease the need for unnecessary medical intervention; which can be more likely on a Labour Ward environment.
