Hypnobirthing Classes Near Me

---

I have completed a full diploma in the KGHypnobirthing method and am an accredited teacher. The course I have completed is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives (RCM). Hypnobirthing is a complete antenatal education course that combines information about giving birth and the choices you have, with hypnotherapy techniques empowering you to have the birth experience you desire. It is made up of lots of little things that combined together make a big difference. Hypnobirthing is a system of letting go that you learn in preparation for the birth of your baby. There are many benefits of hypnobirthing for the mother, father and the baby. 

The course is run over 4 weekly sessions (lasting 2-3 hours) either in your own home on a 1:1 basis or via a group setting in a community hall in Basingstoke. I run hypnobirthing online courses via zoom for those not able to attend a face to face course due to location or budget.
