Naturalbirth.ie Hypnobirthing Classes - what’s involved and how does it work?
I teach hypnobirthing classes in 2 ways:
Private classes in your own home (in Dublin and surrounding counties) Group Courses with up to 6 couples (in a Dublin location or outside of Dublin)
No matter which option you chose the course outline is the same:
-
4 classes of The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme - a comprehensive antenatal course and hypnobirthing course in one!
-
1 Breastfeeding preparation class Each module of the 5 is 2.5 hours in duration so the total course duration is 12 hours!
Prices for both options include:
-
12 hours class/mentoring time
-
your Wise Hippo text book
-
6 downloadable MP3s which you have forever (not an app that expires when you stop paying for it - don’t forget to stop paying for it by the way or it keeps charging you!!)
-
my full support by phone/text/email if and when its needed
-
additional handouts and gifts in your welcome pack!

What to expect in a typical naturalbirth.ie hypnobirthing class:
-
information on evidence-based best practice in birth
-
information on what to expect from and how to navigate the Irish maternity system
-
information on informed consent and understanding your rights
-
information on how and where to empower yourself with knowledge
-
birth stories and experiences from previous clients
-
videos of births
-
fun
-
laughter
-
massage and other useful things your partner can do to help
-
birth balls (gym ball/swiss ball) - if you don’t have one yet - get one!
-
excitement
No matter which option you decide on, the course itself is only one element of your hypnobirthing journey. Commitment to practicing the techniques and to doing your own evidence-based reading and research are key to ensuring your empowering positive birth experience.
Private classes in your own home:
-
The class comes to you, so no need to travel, get parking, get a babysitter etc!
-
Classes can be taken at a frequency that suits you and your partner (i.e. weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly etc.)
-
Can be taken at a time and day that suits you both - weekday evenings and/or weekends morning or afternoon
-
Tailored classes to your needs
-
A private, safe, open and comfortable place to discuss your own feelings about giving birth and to work through any previously difficult experiences
-
Full support throughout your pregnancy by phone/text/email helping you through any fears, events that might crop up unexpectedly
-
Can be done anywhere in your home! I bring everything I need for the class, so you just need to provide a spot where you are most comfortable.
Cost €450 (payment in 2 installments optional)
