Hypnobirthing Courses

Cost: £295

Best Births provides a comprehensive evidence-based antenatal education course which incorporates hypnobirthing theory.  The course is designed to provide pregnancy and birth information and hypnotherapy techniques in a relaxed and informal way. The course is being delivered in a variety of ways: on a 1-2-1 basis, via Zoom or face-to-face, and in small groups at the Broadstone Chiropractic Clinic.

The course is made up of four 2-hour sessions and is tailored to meet your individual needs and help you achieve the calm and safe birth your body is designed for. After each class you will have techniques to practise and time in the following class to discuss how you found the experience. Included in the course are: relaxation MP3s, a pack of beautiful Positive Affirmation cards and a course booklet.

The knowledge you gain will help you to understand and deal with the changes you experience in pregnancy and to prepare for birth and parenthood.  We are passionate about helping women to be informed about their pregnancies and the options they have for care.  The research shows that women who undertake good quality antenatal education classes have better health outcomes for themselves and their babies and it is our aim to help women to have the best pregnancy and birth experience possible.
