Service Description

Red Tent antenatal and hypnobirthing classes can give you the knowledge to feel confident about birth and the tools to manage whatever evolves during your birthing experience. Antenatal and hypnobirthing combined is an opportunity to have your antenatal classes over two weeks, followed by four weeks of hypnobirthing support. I outright encourage you to ask as many questions as you need to and I’m happy to go through information until you feel confident. Antenatal Class: I cover the signs of labour and positions of your baby. The various stages of labour, coping mechanisms and how you're going to be amazing! Hydrotherapy as an option. Natural responses to birth such as fight or flight and breathing techniques to guide you through this. We will also cover the role of your birth partner and your birth aspirations. Options on where is possible to birth your baby and what to expect, from "When do I take my knickers off?" to "It's happening now!" Birthing advice on what happens if you go past your due date, what you can expect and what your options are. Finally we talk about your beautiful newborn, care for yourself and breastfeeding. Hypnobirthing: A mixture of breathing techniques, visualisation, mindfulness and deep relaxation. These techniques combined will encourage you to have the confidence for a calm and empowered birth. Together with your birth partner, you can learn to enter and maintain a deeply relaxed state and experience positive thoughts around birth. This inhibits the 'fight or flight' reflex and encourages the birth to proceed without disturbance. You will be given an eBook and scripts to accompany this course, as well as extra tools to use. From the time of booking and payment, I am available via phone 24:7 for any support needed. This support continues through pregnancy, early labour and for 6 weeks postnatally (which can be so beneficial in your breastfeeding journey). This course is held over 6 x 1hr sessions that are £40 each. With postnatal and breastfeeding support completely free via phone or Zoom/Teams. *£40 deposit to cover your first session (booked here). At the end of your first session we will book your next five, at a time convenient to you, and complete the remaining payment. The course can be held via Zoom/Teams or within your own home. A travel fee of £15 will be added to the price of the course.
