This 5-hour workshop is for couples preparing to welcome another child into the clan. We cover the anatomy, physiology and hormones of birth, breathing for birth, birth partners support, massage for labour, postnatal considerations. We look at the variables of labour and how we can influence the mindbody connection with some powerful tools you can do in preparation (including hypnobirth, breathwork & mindfulness). We also look at the historical and social context of birth with research and statistics which may help you decide on the best place for you to have your baby.
It’s like a locker room pep talk before going back onto the field. 💪

Private workshops take place in your home or travel to me in Uckfield. I can travel 30 mins from Uckfield at no extra cost.
“This course is fantastic. It completely changed our mindsets after experiencing a challenging first birth. We had such a different experience this time round. It was an incredibly positive and empowering birthing experience following this course. Brigid is highly knowledgeable, lovely and most reassuring. She gave us so much more than our NCT/ pre natal birth courses that we had had prior to our first birth.”

8 original MP3 hypnobirth audio files.
Links to recorded Pregnancy Yoga and Postnatal Yoga Recovery classes.
Notes to support your learning.

SOME HAPPY CUSTOMERS
‘‘Our son was delivered in the safest, happiest way possible and both of them are thriving. It was a truly remarkable experience. My wife, Sam, is an absolute hero and I have to give great credit and thanks to Brigid for helping us to have such a calm, natural and straight-forward labour. I cannot recommend the course enough to everyone.''
-Tom, Sam & Baby Elliot.
''Brigid! I had my goddess moment! I can’t thank you enough for all your love, support and encouragement over the months. Couldn’t have done it without your support and breathing techniques. It’s you that gave me the belief that I could have a better birth and I’ll be forever grateful for that.''
-Emma & Baby Euan.
‘‘Hypnobirthing and active labour techniques really worked well for me - I was so in the zone that I didn’t believe I could be in established labour and nearly left it too late to leave for the birth centre. Molly was born 7 minutes after we arrived at Maidstone and despite the slightly frantic car journey (including my waters breaking while we were stuck at a level crossing waiting for a train to pass!) I was able to get back to calm quickly enough to gently breathe her out into the world without any need for stitches afterwards.
It was such a positive experience and I’m really grateful for your help in teaching me to access calm during my pregnancy - I don’t think I’d have had the same experience without that practice’’.
- Frances & Baby Molly.
''My partner and I took part in a hypnobirthing course with Brigid recently and cannot recommend it enough! We used the class in addition to our antenatal classes and we both agreed that whilst the ante natal classes are important and teach you loads they can sometimes lack detail on both the mental and emotional side of labour and the birth.''
- James and Niabh.
‘‘My husband and I attended Brigid's birth refresher course as we're expecting our second baby and it was just what we needed! I had been quite anxious after a not such positive first experience during the pandemic. Brigid is so knowledgeable, compassionate but also real. She ensures she covers everything that's important to the couples in the session and we all left feeling more prepared and ready to practice our hypnobirthing techniques. Can't recommend Brigid enough!’’
-Kristina
‘‘The couples Hypnobirthing helped me enjoy the first 12-16 hours of labour, and to remain in control and ask for a birth I felt comfortable with when things went south and it might otherwise have been easier to end up subject to other people’s plans.’’
- Lara
‘‘Thank you so much Brigid, we felt transformed and so much more confident afterward. We went for a beautiful long walk afterwards and recapped everything and had a few rethinks. We practised the humming breathing under a gorgeous lone oak tree, it was so beautiful as we synchronised into one, I felt like we were the tibetan bowl! We're so grateful to you for coming out and for doing a bespoke basically therapy session 😂 don't know where I would be right now without it! ‘‘
