Hypnobirthing and Antenatal Education in Dorset, Hampshire and online

Katie Small, doula and breastfeeding coach supporting families in Dorset, Hampshire and online

I offer private, bespoke Hypnobirthing courses in the comfort of your own home, both in-person and online. 

​​​

So many of us are conditioned from a young age to see birth as risky, painful, and something to fear. Approaching your baby's birth with these fears can really impact how it turns out. Hypnobirthing is about changing this harmful narrative and stacking the odds in your favour of having a powerful and positive birth experience.​​​​​​

​​​​If you want to look forward to birth then my Hypnobirthing courses are for you! The complete course provides full antenatal education and birth preparation based on the science of how our bodies are designed.

​

We'll also talk in depth about how to navigate the maternity system to ensure that your voice is heard throughout your birth experience, and to help you make the best decisions for you and your baby.​​​​​
