Private Hypnobirthing & Antenatal Course
​- via Zoom 
​

'My husband and I recently took Sofie’s Private Hypnobirthing Course and it is one of the best investments in time and money we have made during my second pregnancy. It was excellent value and went beyond our expectations. I only wish we had taken a Hypnobirthing course for our first baby as we learnt so much and feel much more prepared emotionally and practically this time around. As well as being very enjoyable and a fun experience we covered lots of fear release work, relaxation/hypnobirthing techniques and knowledge based learning. The course is packed full of information and techniques, covering absolutely everything you would ever need to know about pregnancy and the different birth journeys from home births, inductions to c-sections. Sofie’s relaxed, friendly and open nature together with her credentials, self-evident expertise and professionalism gave us confidence, reassurance and the tools to prepare for our baby’s arrival tailored to our personal circumstances - and all from the comfort of our own home! If you’re thinking about booking or enquiring about any of Sofie’s courses then don’t hesitate, we highly recommend her services!'

If you would like to have a tailored 1-2-1 Hypnobirthing programme to meet your needs and discuss your own personal circumstances then this course is for you. This course is delivered over 4 x 2.5 hour sessions via zoom. You will also receive ongoing support via phone/email/text until your little one is born, so consider me part of your birth team!  This course is completely flexible and times and dates will be agreed between us.

Once your course is finished the support doesn't end there. You will be invited to my closed Face Book group and to the weekly check-in, via zoom, with other expectant parents I'm working with. This is an opportunity to meet other expectant parents (most in the local area) increase your confidence and positivity around birthing, support each other and reflect on your Hypnobirthing practice. 

On your private course you will receive a full Hypnobirthing and antenatal education about what happens to your body and your baby's path to 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, so that you feel positive, informed and empowered to make the right choices for you and your family around the birth of your baby. When the time comes to have your baby everything you have learned and practiced should harmonise together, so you can turn your 'thinking brain' off and trust your body to let your baby come through; safely and easily and at your own pace.

You are welcome to do the classes alone, however I do encourage you to bring a birth partner, so you can practice the techniques together and support each other throughout your birthing journey.

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.

I also offer a weekly relaxation session on a Monday at 6pm. This is a supportive and safe space for expectant parents to chat and connect with. It is also a time for you to relax and unwind, keep your spirits and confidence high and you can also ask me anything. These sessions are included in your course fees and you can find out more about them here.


Your investment is £365 and includes:
  • A tailored Hypnobirthing course to meet your needs over 4, 2.5 hour (minimum 10 hours) via Zoom sessions 
  • A full antenatal education about what to expect during labour and birth

    Book Fourth Trimester & Breastfeeding Session

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!'
