Hypnobirthing

Classes

"

"The hypnobirthing with you really helped me stay calm during my very short third labour. You were wonderful and really responsive during the sessions. You also really helped support me in becoming a mum of three; without you that first month would've been so much harder. I would highly recommend this course no matter how many previous births you've had. Thank you Jess for your fantastic support throughout pregnancy and beyond!"

"Jessica, you helped me beyond words. I credit so much of it to you saying'imagine the positive things that can happen' when I was having a freak out one day. You're a legend and Eddie and I owe you a glass of wine!"

Having a child has the potential to be a massively positive, life-affirming event and you don't need my help to do that- your body knows instinctively how to birth your baby! Hypnosis for childbirth classes give you the tools to forget any fears or tensions surrounding birth and really start to trust yourself, your body, and your baby: allowing you to relax and enjoy your birth no matter whether you're planning a home birth, birth centre or hospital birth. It's my firm belief that the right birth is as individual as you are! 

 

 

 

 

 

Hypnobirthing is for EVERYONE! I could talk the hind leg off a donkey about how amazing hypnobirthing is whether you're calm about your birth or nervous as hell; whether you're excited or apprehensive. Learning these techniques is your investment in the kind of birth you will look back on with warmth and pride, no matter what challenges the birth might throw at you and no matter where you end up giving birth. 

 

 As an expert practitioner and a hypnobirthing mum, I am passionate about supporting women to experience a positive birth no matter what kind of birth you choose. I truly believe that you will have the calmest and most comfortable birth when you're birthing in the right place and way for you. And hypnobirthing really comes into its own when things don't go to plan.

   Many mums have expressed how useful hypnobirthing was for labour and birth, but that they felt almost abandoned after birth. The recordings, whilst relaxing, were birth-focused and felt inappropriate after the baby was born. Some of these features help to bridge the birth and the fourth trimester- because I believe that it's an incredibly important time for both you and your baby.

  1. Access to a private Facebook group that means you have support from me right up to the birth and beyond 

  2. Hypnosis for effective breastfeeding: managing sensations, increasing/decreasing flow, even stopping your milk when you're ready. Great for relaxing whilst sitting somewhere comfy and feeding in the early days 

  3. Exclusive Birth Bubble Hypnosis: take your dream birth environment with you no matter where you end up birthing

  4. Birth of a Parent Hypnosis Session: helping you step into your inner confident parent. This recording is perfect in those last days, waiting for baby to put in an appearance

To sum it up, here's a break down of everything you'll receive to support you on your exciting journey:

  1. 10 HOURS of Advanced Hypnosis for Childbirth training

  2. MP3s, Cheat Sheets and Dream Birth Workbook                  

  3. Breastfeeding Bonus                                                                    

  4. Birth Bubble Hypnosis

  6. Access to ongoing support for entire pregnancy and the fourth trimester                                                                                                                                                                           COST:     £220                                           

                                                                                                                   

                                                                                 

                                                                                             

You no doubt made an effort to get the atmosphere just right when you were making your baby, and you know that creating the right environment for your birth is just as important, so why should your hypnobirthing classes be any different? Come and learn in a warm, relaxing and soothing space where you'll feel pampered and special. 

 

Classes are held in my lovely studios in either Hebden Bridge or Huddersfield. Modules are spread over two weekends- leaving you time between sessions to try out techniques and ask any questions that come to you.

Hebden Bridge:

Saturday:  10:00-2:00

Saturday:  10:00-2:00

Huddersfield:

Sunday:    10:00-:2.00

Sunday:    10:00-2.00

The cost of this course naturally includes your highly valued birth partner. Partners are key to a positive birth, and yet very often have no clear idea of what's expected of them or what to do for the best. This course really aims to help you work together to build a strategy to support you to respond to whatever comes up in your birth. Having partners attend will enhance your birthing experience to an unbelievable degree. But I know that everyone has busy lives and sometimes it's not possible to get time off together (particularly if you have other children) so please don't feel it will hold you back. In fact, teaching these techniques to your partner will only consolidate your learning. I promise you will feel just as comfortable and welcome with or without your partner.

As you may have noticed, the course is at lunchtime. I'll provide tasty snacks and treats to keep you going!

Even though you're pregnant (possibly heavily!) life and work don't stop. Perfect for busy, professional mums-to-be and those who for lots of reasons want the space that this can offer. Birth is completely unique and you may prefer to have exclusive access to me in the time leading up to your baby's birth. You might have had a difficult experience first time around, have specific issues you'd like to work through with me or just enjoy having your own private birth course in the same way that you might want a private room in a birth centre or hospital.

As well as the FF hypnobirthing class, 'One-to-One' has some very specific features I feel are important if you're seeing me privately:

  1. Course can be divided up in any way that suits you and for your total convenience

  2. You can come and visit me in person or I can visit you. You can meet with me online, you can even choose a combination of both.

  3. You will receive an in depth telephone consultation tailoring the course to your specific needs 

  4. A choice of three personalised  mp3s based around your birth choices (some examples include: Increasing Oxytocin for Your Caesarian Birth, Post-natal Booster or perhaps Hypnosis for Induction )

                                                                                             INVESTMENT IN YOU= £350

*** Whilst these hypnobirthing courses are specifically designed for maximum effectiveness, if you really want to work with me but don't have time for a full course, or there's something short and specific you want to work on then feel free to give me a call and we can talk about ways we can make it work in one or two sessions***

"Jess helped me have a total different birthing experience with my second child. (My first was very traumatic and stressful)
She helped me to feel in control, relaxed and helped me understand how to mange my pain which made my birth quicker and easier."

Lauren

About Me...

First thing about me- I'm a mum, to a toddler... she's amazing and wonderful, and she has made me a better, happier, stronger person. It's a good job she's so lovely because she still doesn't sleep through! But I do what I do because I've been taught by the master- Elona Soleil!

 

 I personally used hypnobirthing for her birth so I am a massive fan and can truly understand the highs and lows of pregnancy. I was a REALLY anxious first time mum and went from one day being excited about the birth to the next day just completely shutting down in terror of the big unknown. With a bit of persuasion from the midwifery team I went for a homebirth and really enjoyed it , but it could have gone either way as I thought seeing my stuff about the place would get on my nerves. In actual fact, due to the hypnobirthing I stayed completely in 'the zone' and could have been birthing on Mars for all the notice I took of my surroundings.

So why choose me to have the privilege of accompanying you on your journey? Well, not only am I a hypnobirther, but I also trained in hypnopsychotherapy meaning that I can really support you on every level of your emotional highs and lows, giving you that extra edge. It also means that I can create hypnotic material just for you rather than sticking to someone else's generic training course which you can learn from a book. You can't find any of the material I use in a book as it's either been created by Sharon Mustard of easibirthing­® for the sole use of qualified hypnotherapists (think turbo-charged hypnobirthing!) or it's been uniquely created by me and you won't find it anywhere else.

 

Other things I think you'll like about me...I'm not a 9-5 person. When I'm passionate about something I give it my all, and I'm passionate about all things birth and post-natal. And I'm passionate about YOU and your birth. You have my full support from the moment you take a course with me until well after the birth and beyond. I give access to me for the duration of your pregnancy and beyond because I think it really matters. Because that's the kind of support I needed and I want to ensure you actually receive that level of care and contact throughout your fourth trimester (birth-3 months).

I've given you lots of opportunities to book a call with me to have a chat about your hopes and fears about this birth. Please be assured that there is no obligation whatsoever. Just ask me what I think, what I do, how it works and I'll tell you.
