BESPOKE, PRIVATE HYPNOBIRTHING COURSE
Join me, Jessica, for a completely tailor made Hypnobirthing course - for just yourself and your partner.
Held over 2 full days at my country house venue in Northumberland or the comfort of your own home (online), to leave you feeling fully relaxed, nurtured and prepared for your baby's birth.
"As a highly experienced birth educator, and Mum to two - it's safe to say your time preparing for birth is in safe hands; I know that to truly feel nurtured during this time, each moment counts.
From feeling crystal clear about the choices around how you bring your baby into this world, right down to that moment when you reach for your baby, your eyes locking for the first time, preparing for a lifetime of love."
Come, join me for a weekend in Northumberland...
To rest, focus on your baby and your upcoming birth together. Once you're both settled into to my tranquil 'relaxation room', you'll be served up a lovely breakfast of freshly baked pastries and fruit salad, with your favourite juices and hot drinks.
We'll have already gone through your current worries, your hopes and wishes for birth, personal/ pregnancy history and what you'd most like to get our of your course during our 1/2 hour initial video call consultation. So on the day we can just get straight into getting you prepared for birth.
On booking you'll have decided how spreading out your two full days with me works best for you; either one full weekend or consecutive Saturdays/Sundays spread a week apart usually works best.
Throughout the weekend you'll be welcomed to enjoy Chatton Park Farm like your own home. Take refreshing walks around the gardens & farmland whenever you fancy, have your lunch by the AGA in the country kitchen, which will be ready and waiting for you, having been collected from the gorgeous local deli, Carnaby's Cafe. Lunch is included on your first day.
Your expert led classes will be broken up into enjoyable, easy to digest sessions and we'll be covering absolutely everything around the physical and mental aspects of birth, as well as talking through your choices and what feels right for YOU.
Once your weekend of learning is over we'll be keeping in touch via message, email or video calls whenever you need my help or support. Think of me as your antenatal doula!
Alternatively we can work together Online via Zoom connection if you are situated elsewhere in the UK. Please chat to Jessica about your needs and preferences during your discovery call or during the booking process.
Lucy's positive birth story...
"I got to 6cm at home, listening to your tracks on my birth ball! The midwives were super impressed at my breathing through contractions, following all of your methods. I had a very speedy birth, with only a few puffs of gas & air. I felt like Wonder Woman afterwards!
I can't thank you enough for giving us the determination to be really clear on the kind of birth we wanted & the confidence to know I was strong enough to do it"

Why embark on a private course...?
My tailor made hypnobirthing courses are perfect for couples who would prefer to have my undivided support throughout their pregnancy and the early days after their baby is born, couples who have a clear idea of how they would like to give birth but are unsure how to maximise their chances of getting there, couples with a unique history around birth (such as previous trauma), or for those who would love to make this special time a truly unique and nurturing experience.
Perhaps you've thought about having a doula at your birth, but would prefer to have that care and continuity just during your pregnancy, rather than during the birth itself.
Having your birth preparation completely tailored to you means that none of your precious time is wasted; you won't have to sit and listen to aspects of birth which perhaps are not relevant to the way you want to give birth and my time won't be split between 4 different couples. All the questions are yours, all of the support is yours.
If you have experienced difficulties around pregnancy or conception, either during a previous birth or any other time - which might include pregnancy loss, fertility journeys, pregnancy complications or breastfeeding difficulties - I am able to facilitate something called 3 Step Rewind for private clients.
3 Step Rewind is a gentle and effective framework in which we can ease traumatic or difficult emotions or memories which may remain after such an experience. This is a treatment which I currently only offer to private clients, and is something which we would explore together ahead of your main Hypnobirthing course, should you feel this would be of benefit.
My private clients also benefit from having me 'on call' throughout their pregnancy; they're able to contact me directly either via message, email or scheduled video calls whenever they're in need of support, advice, links to research, or just an offload to a friendly, non judgemental ear.

Rebeccas's positive birth story...
"I still don't fully have the words for what this birth meant to me, but it was like a gift from the universe to experience such a raw, healthy, primal joy.
Labour was so magical...getting into the pool was bliss, and then I had a little panic. The midwife told me to feel for the baby's head. And the whole world went still. I didn't feel any pain at all, just total sublime joy and awe.
And then I just held his head and waited, it was like time was suspended & I knew I was about to meet my baby."
What will you learn?
Well, that very much depends on what we we discover during our initial chats; how you'd like to birth, where you'd like to birth, any fears or worries you have, previous experiences. But - as an example of what I would typically aim to cover:

-
Birth Partner - Forget sitting in the corner feeling like a 'spare part' - your partner will leave the day feeling confident and happy in how they can fully support you & be an essential part of your baby's birth.
