Bringing new life into the world is one of the most defining moments of your life, and choosing Hypnobirthing is to choose an experience where you’re empowered and excited. It’s about being fearless and well informed to make the best choices for you both.

Why choose Journey Ahead?

My ambition is to provide the best antenatal education for you and your baby. I am passionate about giving families the best start in their parenting journey, and setting them up for positive, empowering experiences.

I trained through Katherine Graves Hypnobirthing (KGH) which is the most comprehensive teacher training on the market. It is the only course to be accredited by the Royal College of Midwives.

The wealth of training I have received means I can provide much more support beyond the traditional antenatal classes.

Once you invest in a course, you have me on hand to support you throughout the remainder of your pregnancy. If you choose, I can also support you through the birth and postpartum too.

Many expectant parents choose one to one hypnobirthing because they want a more individualised service, which is delivered either virtually or within the home (for those in the North West of the UK).

Benefits of one to one

Delivering the course content to you on such a personal and intimate level has multiple benefits:

Convenient. Planned around your availability and times, you don’t have to try rush to classes.
Bespoke. Previous trauma or very specific fears can be challenging to talk about in a group setting, delivering this one on one means I can tailor the content and our focuses to your specific situation.
Flexible. For those that would prefer a more flexible course structure, this is the choice for you. By working in this way I can chop up the course content so that it is shaped around your needs.
Premium. This type of learning is the crème de la crème! You have my undivided attention and support. Many couples find it more comfortable, especially when working through the relaxation scripts and talking about their worries or concerns.

Costs and inclusions

Typically this content is delivered over 5 x 2-3 hour sessions or two full days. As mentioned above, this can be shaped around your individual needs when you invest in this package.

At the end of the sessions you will receive audio files/scripts and a KGH hypnobirthing book to consolidate and practice what you learn. You’ll also get two resource packs to remind you of all the major bits we cover.

The cost for this type of learning is £333 (£66.60 per session). There may be a small supplement for travel to your home depending on where you live, please enquire to discuss further.
