New dates for Winter/
Spring 2012 Sundays, 10am to 5pm at Tranquillity,
158 Hemper Lane, S8 7FE. February: 5th and 19th. March: Saturday 3rd & Saturday 24th. April:
15th and 29th.
The course comprises 2 full-day sessions, 10am - 5pm, or 5 evening sessions of 2 1/2 hours each. You can choose from
individual or group classes. Individual classes for you and your partner are held in your own home. Group
classes are available in various venues; up to 5 couples may attend each course.
Prices: Group classes:
£175 per couple per course Individual sessions: £250 per couple
per course Prices include all course handouts, a copy of the book "HypnoBirthing"
by Marie Mongan, a relaxation CD, and ongoing phone and email support up to and beyond the birth. I also include an extra
1 hour individual 'refresher' session where necessary.
If you are concerned about price, a popular idea is to ask friends and family to contribute instead of buying
gifts and clothes for the baby - the baby will soon grow out of clothes, but you will have the benefits of the classes with
you forever!
I also offer free consultation sessions
- please email or call for details

Course Content Here are some of the
things you'll learn that are not covered in most antenatal classes. - Breathing
techniques that actually help the birth (and it's not the panting that most people think
they have to do. Think about it - why would anyone want to hyperventilate during labour?)
- How to massively
reduce the need for any medication at all
- How to reduce your risk of needing an episiotomy during birth
with a stunningly simple massage technique
- How to be confident and informed when dealing with the medical staff -
when to question, what to ask...and when it's time to let them take charge
- How to release any fears you might
have about childbirth...regardless of where they come from
- How to bring about your own easy start of labour with
simple, natural techniques, if you go beyond your "estimated due date"
- Most importantly, you'll know
how to relax and stay calm and in control - regardless of what's happening around you
HypnoBirthing® is designed as a structured but informal class format that teaches about the physical, emotional
and spiritual aspects of birth. You'll learn why your body does what it does, as well as how. Plus, as
well as the classes themselves, you'll receive a professionally produced 196-page book "HypnoBirthing®: A Celebration of Life", an affirmations and relaxation CD, and numerous weekly handouts, all included
in the price.

When can I start the classes?
You can begin the course when you are 3 months pregnant; however somewhere between 25-30 weeks is ideal. The success of
the course is strongly linked to how much practice you do but provided you can finish the course before you give birth, it's
still going to help. In special cases we can run the classes closer together.
