This is the perfect space to practice supportive, practical techniques with your birth partner, in preparation for your labour and birth.Maybe you've already done some antenatal sessions or have some lined up but haven't yet practiced anything.
This 6-week course gives you and your birth partner the dedicated space for this.
As an Antenatal Teacher and Doula I noticed that one of the key things to families reported
from a birth that they felt empowered and confident about was
if they had practiced together with their birth partner during pregnancy.
However, making time for this is not always easy with all the preparation needed before your little one arrives.
This is where 'My Birth Practice' comes in.
An alternative to your usual Antenatal Class, yet full of essential information and
plenty of time to try-out, get familiar with and practice, practical skills, that feel right for you.
In fun, informative sessions we will practice:
*Hypnobirthing Tools
*Positions and biomechanics with birth and peanut balls
*Breathing and Massage techniques
*And connect with other parents-to-be through topical discussions
The more you practice together, the easier these tools will be on the actual day your labour starts
and will boost your confidence in navigating your labour and birth together.
What's included in the course
Week 1: Understanding Hypnobirthing and Key Elements of Labour and Birth
Week 2: Breathing and Massage Techniques for each stage of labour
Week 3: Positions and Biomechanics
Week 4: Practical Practice for your labour
Week 5: Practical Practice for your labour
Week 6: Bringing everything together for each stage of labour and birth
You receive a Parent's Workbook, relaxation audios, resources and

'We loved doing the course with Sally. It was super informal and easy to interact and feel like we were being listened too and guided in a personal way. Sally has stayed in touch since the course finished and it is really reassuring knowing that she is there if we have questions. Def recommend. I feel positive about giving birth and working together with my partner'
'Where do I start! Sally was so amazing for us, she has helped us before attending the course, during, out of hours as well as in the postnatal period. Sally still continues to check in on us, giving us advice with breast feeding, self-care and more .Any questions or concerns we had, Sally was very eager to answer or find out more for us with her great connections. I feel I was able to relax and adapt more to the birthing experience and after thanks to Sally. Every session we learned something new in a relaxing, creative and fun way. We will definitely be attending the course again when we have more children. I feel like there is always something to learn, even after having a baby myself.'
'We attended Sally’s hypnobirthing and antenatal course prior to the birth of our second child, and we are so glad we did. The course is in-depth and Sally tailors it to the personal circumstances of those in the class which we really appreciated. Sally has a true passion for her work, and kept in touch with us after the course. We felt really supported during a difficult time of complications at the end of the pregnancy. We would highly recommend Sally’s course.'
