Group Hypnobirthing via Zoom
Additional Fourth Trimester Session can be added
'I am pregnant with my first child and have been feeling a bit lacking in support/information with the current COVID situation and not being able to meet any midwives in person etc. I could not be happier that we did her Zoom course! We both feel so much more informed, empowered, and also supported (despite being over Zoom, it never felt remote and Sofie is amazing at keeping in contact and answering any follow up questions or concerns). She empowered me to feel like I had enough information and trust in myself and my own instincts to make that choice and not be fearful. That is the beauty of the course. Thanks Sofie!' |
'Sofie, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all of your support, it’s been way above and beyond. I’ve felt so supported through the crazy corona times. Thank you for keeping us up to date with new and current information and arranging for Rebekka to attend our Zoom sessions. |
'Sofie had been brilliant at calming our anxieties. We started the course during the coronavirus pandemic, where things for pregnant women felt particularly worrying. She helped to allieviate our fears. She gave us extra time and support during this challenging time. The techniques we learnt have been invaluable and we feel prepared for the next step - having the baby!! We have a more medical perspective (due to my job) on the process of labour but Sofie took this into account throughout the course and helped me find a new perspective.' |
This is a fully comprehensive & interactive group Hypnobirthing & antenatal course over 4 sessions via Zoom.
There is also the option to add an extra session with Rebecca Melville from Shore Beginnings, to cover the Fourth Trimester and breastfeeding.
During each session you will receive a full Hypnobirthing and antenatal education about what happens to your body and your baby's journey during labour and birth and in the 'golden hour' after birth. I will guide you through deeply relaxing self-hypnosis exercises and visualisations that you will practice during and between sessions. We will also do some exercises to release any fears or negative emotions you have around birth. When the time comes to have your baby everything you have learned and practiced should harmonize together; so you can listen to and work with your body in complete confidence.
The best time to start a course is in your second trimester (from 20 weeks). To get the most out of your course it is advised that you practice the skills every day until you go into labour. You are welcome to attend the interactive on-line sessions alone but it is better if your birth patner can attend too. The price will remain the same.

'A group course was just what we needed as we didn't want to do NCT. Sofie covers everything you need to know and it was so much fun and very relaxed in her colourful home. We learn so much and left each session floating... feeling positive and relaxed. Sofie gives much more than what you would expect on a hypnobirthing course, she has a huge passion for the subject and is so supportive to the people she teaches. I wouldn't book with anyone else!'
