ESSENTIALS COURSE ( 4 hours)*
The Essentials Short course might be for you if you did a hypnobirthing course for a previous birth and want a refresher, or you’re much later on in your pregnancy and short on time, or perhaps you’ve done another antenatal course but feel something is missing.
This course is 4 hours so more condensed live learning and more optional self-learning and preparation at home (compared to the full course). When doing as a private course there is also flexibility to spend more time on a particularly area of focus should you wish.
What you will learn:
- Overview of hypnobirthing and mindful birth, including the birth hormones, mind body connection, and what you can and don’t need to control
- Relaxation tools and breathing techniques for supporting your mind and body in all birth scenarios and situation.
- Different birth locations – what they are, how they differ, how to plan for each location, including pain relief options
- Overview of the 3 stages of physiological birth
- Things to consider if you have an abdominal birth (caesarean section)
- The pelvis, optimum positioning, creating space and comfort
- Decision Making – how to communicate with your health care providers in making the best choices through pregnancy and birth for you and your baby, including navigating recommendations for induction
- Partner’s Role – everything they can do to support in pregnancy and during birth
- What to do next, including writing a birth and postnatal plan
- Optional: Birth Reflection
Included: 4 hours live teaching, on-going support from Rachel via whatsapp, printed Barefoot Birthing affirmations cards, relaxation audios, keyring partner pack
Investment: £250.00 In-person / £210 Online via Zoom
*This course does not include access to the complete Mindful Birth Support Package.
EMPOWER HOUR ( 1 hour)
The Empower Hour option is to compliment a previous or online self-learning Mindful Birth Group course, or to enable someone needing some personalised support to access it in an affordable way.
Empower Hours are £75 and give you time to discuss personal fears or concerns, boost your confidence, talk through the basics of hypnobirthing or recap and discuss your online learning.
Please note that the Empower Hour is not designed to be a full hypnobirthing course, but it will empower you with Rachel’s expertise and support on a personal level.
Investment: £75 available via Zoom only
All courses are taught by Rachel DipHB(KGH). For Rachel’s availability and to book an Essentials Short Course or Empower Hour please contact Rachel.
