The Award Winning Blooming Births Antenatal Course is everything you need.
You’re growing a baby — and maybe, without meaning to, growing a little fear too.
You want to start feeling more confident, ready and in control for birth. But it's hard to know where to begin.
That's exactly where I come in.
My Award Winning Hypnobirthing Courses blend science, evidence and intuition, giving you everything you need to prepare both your mind and body for birth.
You'll gain all of the knowledge you need, practical tools to stay calm, and confidence in yourself and all of your birthing choices.
Held over 2 relaxed Sundays at Gosforth Garden Village Association, spaces to my courses are deliberately kept small, helping to keep sessions intimate and friendly.

Let go of fear, step into confidence
You’re about to embark on one of the most incredible journeys of your life—the birth of your baby. Imagine how it would feel stepping into birth feeling confident, calm and like you've got this.
That’s exactly what my Award-Winning Hypnobirthing Antenatal Course has helped over 350 families to do.
My modern, practical approach to Hypnobirthing blends science, evidence and intuition so you can:
-
Understand how your mind and body work together during labour
-
Learn practical tools to stay calm and relaxed on the day
-
Build confidence in yourself and all of your birthing choices
Other antenatal courses tend to focus solely on the what — what happens during labour, what interventions might be offered, what pain relief is available.
And yes, this is important, but here at Blooming Births, we go even deeper.
I'll show you how to work with your body, rather than against it, simple strategies to remain calm and relaxed, and how to feel truly empowered for your baby's birth and beyond.
This isn't about being hypnotised, listening to whale music or whispering affirmations to your vagina - and it certainly isn't about how you choose to give birth.
It's about giving you all of the tools, knowledge, and deep mindset shifts you need to navigate birth with full confidence.

What can I expect?
It's normal to feel apprehensive about Hypnobirthing and what exactly a course might entail - but honestly, you can expect a fully comprehensive, evidence based antenatal course.
Birth partners can also feel really unsure before a course too. If this is the case, we would recommend you watch our free Hypnobirthing Masterclass together before your course.
By the end of the course, you'll both have all of the knowledge, tools and techniques you need for a more empowered birth.
You can also expect:
-
Realistic, practical and evidence based birth prep. You can trust that everything we teach is grounded in science and evidence
