Hypno birthing course recommendation? Post Reply

[Raines]

Hello,

I was hoping to get some recommendations on a good hypno birthing course for couples. Preferably local to clapham, but that isn't essential.

Thanks!

We did our course at the awareness centre on abbeville road. Can definitely recommend the instructor as well as doing the course together.

I did an excellent one with Judith Flood. It was at St Thomas's, but I think she runs them from other venues as well. She's a midwife who trained in hypnobirthing after being amazed at how effective it was. I enjoyed the course and was, being an anxious type, very pleasantly surprised at how very helpful it was in labour.

Kristin Hayward is fantastic. I just had my second hypnobirthing birth with her.

I second the Judith Flood recommendation. A very helpful course.

look at the natal hypnotherapy website - they run courses in lots of locations. I did one with my husband and would def recommend it

Try Hollie at London Hypnobirthing. It's a little bit further away in Dulwich but was a wonderful course - Hollie's so lovely and we genuinely enjoyed each session. I'm a first time mum due Sat and feel much calmer now.

hi
you may have found one now, but i have to say that i've never heard a bad thing about any hypbobirthing instructors (and i work with a LOT of women who use hypnobirthing)
they just seem like a totally lovely bunch!
people say equally great things about the Natal Hypnotherapy CDs that you can buy
whoever it is who does the course, the most important thing is that you and your partner practise the methods at home
i also often recommend the book the Gentle Birth Method, which has some lovely visualisations in it too
good luck with it all
