I have a brand new location for group classes to be revealed very soon!

For private in person classes, you must be based in Manchester, Cheshire, Stockport and surrounding areas. For a full list of postcodes I cover you can use the postcode checker in on my private classes booking page.

I am a qualified and experienced practising midwife, which gives me a unique insight into maternity services, and knowledge on how to navigate the system. It also means I am always up-to-date, so my classes are evidence based, and I have good knowledge of local systems and guidance.

My classes are positive and empowering, to help you look forward to your birth, but as a midwife I am in a position to ensure that you also have realistic, and non-judgemental information so that you are truly prepared for birth.

The Little Birth Company courses, materials, and MP3s I use for teaching were written by a midwife and a hypnotherapist and are the best I have come across.

I offer support throughout pregnancy, right up until you give birth.

All my classes include hypnobirthing, but they are so much more than 'just' hypnobirthing. You will also learn about the basic physiology of birth, how to promote the production of your birthing hormones, what happens when you might need a helping hand (induction of labour/assisted birth/caesarean birth), all the different pain relief options available to you, and positions to help you birth your baby more easily and comfortably.

No! You may have had a difficult birth previously and this time you want to prepare differently, you may have attended a hypnobirthing course previously and now you just want a refresher, or maybe this time you're having a caesarean and would like to attend my caesarean birth preparation course.

If you want to chat more about your previous experience and why you are considering a course with me this time, get in touch!

The person who is going to support you in labour, i.e. your birth partner, is the best person to attend my classes with, this could be your partner, your mum, your sister, or a friend. They will learn how to support you, practically and emotionally, including tips to keep you calm and relaxed.

You are more than welcome to attend my classes by yourself though. You could ask your birth partner to read the material I provide you with, or you might just want to attend to prepare and empower yourself.
