Natal Hypnotherapy Practical Birth Preparation 1-day class
The second of our two Natal Hypnotherapy hypnobirthing antenatal classes combines theory and practical activities to help you and your birth partner prepare physically, mentally and emotionally for the birth.

This one-day class can be taken at any time during your pregnancy although most couples prefer to take it closer to the time of birth, perhaps at around 32 to 36 weeks. This class is a natural complement to the Natal Hypnotherapy Natural Pain Relief class. It also works well with couples attending NCT or NHS classes as it covers elements such as the emotional map of birth and physical techniques that are not covered on some other antenatal courses.
