One of the best things about my courses is the Hypnomums Club. It’s completely free and is a weekly practice session. We do the breathing, relaxation, positions for birth plus an ante/postnatal/birth related topic. They act like antenatal and postnatal workshops providing packets of information so you can build up a large body of knowledge and skills. They cover a wide variety of topics, these are delivered either by myself or an amazing team of guest speakers.
The speakers include:-
- Midwives
- Doulas
- Breastfeeding Consultants
- Sleep Consultants
- Nutritional therapists
- Pre and postnatal Fitness specialists
- Pregnancy yoga teachers
- Baby Skin Experts
- Babycare Teachers
- The list goes on and you can make special requests for more.

- Birth Plans

The sessions are held in two ways, some are at the Toy Library in Walthamstow and the others are live online using the Zoom app. They are really useful ways to increase your confidence and skills plus you get to cement your friendships with other hypnobirthing mums and couples. Although we call it Hypnomums Club it has morphed into an all inclusive welcoming Club! Dads, partners, grannies, aunties and even well behaved older siblings are all welcome!
