KGHypnobirthing
KGHypnobirthing is an effective, evidence-based technique that helps you to give birth calmly, gently, and in greater comfort.
This in-depth antenatal training programme teaches women and their birthing partners about how the female body works during pregnancy and labour, providing useful information, relaxation techniques, and breathing exercises. The course is designed to enable you to release any fears and build confidence and self-trust, enabling you to look forward to your baby’s birth.
In order to meet your individual needs, I offer a range of different programmes to suit you. I work with individual couples in your own home to deliver a tailored service, ensuring you are fully prepared for your birth and beyond.
Full KGH Programme
(approx. 12hrs delivered over x2 days or x4 sessions)
A complete antenatal and hypnobirthing course. This comprehensive course covers all aspects of birth and will support you to make informed choices about your care. You and your partner will learn beneficial relaxation strategies and hypnobirthing techniques.
This course is ideal for you if you are looking for a detailed and complete antenatal course.
Shortened Course
(approx. 6hrs delivered over x1 day or 2 to 3 sessions)
This shortened course covers the main aspects of birth, but concentrates more on the hypnobirthing elements. You may choose to do this course if you have attended a different antenatal course or if you want to focus on the hypnobirthing strategies.
Extra sessions are always available if your circumstances change and you want additional information or support.
Below is a link to a review made by one of the (now) dads who attended this course earlier this year.
C-Section Preparation
(approx. 4hrs delivered over x1 or x2 sessions)
If you are having an elective C-Section, then this course is perfect for you. Hypnobirthing techniques are just as useful in caesarean deliveries in helping you to remain calm, relaxed, and optimise your birthing experiences. I used hypnobirthing with my two C-sections and had two wonderful births.
Thank you so much Heather, your guidance on the section - the caesarean was amazing.
Phobias
(approx. 2hrs delivered over x1 or x2 sessions)
Sometimes people can be apprehensive about pregnancy and birth because of phobias such as fear of needles, blood, hospitals, or even birth. In addition to the antenatal programmes offered, we can work together to release any fears or phobias enabling you to look forward to your baby’s birth.
Special Circumstances
(approx. 4hrs delivered over x1 or x2 sessions)
Some clients that come to me have sadly experienced previous pregnancy loss and becoming pregnant again may understandably raise complex emotions. In order to support parents who have experienced this, I offer a sensitively tailored program that suits you.
At our first visit, you will have the opportunity to talk with me about any specific worries or concerns and we will plan your programme together.
The programme will be taken at your own pace and will include strategies and techniques to enable you to prepare positively for the birth of your baby.
We loved the fact that all types of birth were explained and discussed. Very well tailored to a more complex pregnancy after previous loss.
