HYPNO - BIRTHING / ANTENATAL CLASSES

Hypnobirthing is a state of mind which we naturally adopt when birthing if left to our own devices. However, due to our busy conscious minds and the noisy, intrusive environments many of us find ourselves birthing in, we struggle to 'switch off' and allow our unconscious to get on with the job of birthing. Hypnobirthing just teaches us how to 'quieten' our noisy minds and plug in to our unconscious.

I offer either individual or group bookings (you and some friends!) at a venue which is convenient for you! Usually this would be your home but can be anywhere where you are comfortable! 

I come to you!

For individual couple sessions I am able to offer my therapy space at Ladybirdge Connect in Cheadle but this is only a small space so only large enough for one couple at a time!
