"I found the Hypnobirthing refresher course invaluable. Jessica helped us so much, thinking of things I would never have known or considered. This time around I honestly had such a lovely experience & will always be grateful to her for this"

Hypnobirthing Refresher course
Already done Hypnobirthing classes or an Antenatal course with your previous pregnancy, or feeling short on time ahead of your baby's birth?
No problem! I offer tailor made options for Hypnobirthing, or Birth Preparation - depending on what you feel you would like more help or practice with.
My refresher courses are held either from my antenatal studio, here at our family farm in Northumberland, or we can work together from the comfort of your home online over video call if you're further afield.
You have the option to choose from the following areas of teaching. You may feel you have covered some of these areas in previous preparation, or some may sound new to you, or that you would like refreshing on particular areas:
-
Birth Hormones & how they affect labour
-
Hypnobirthing Techniques - I teach 5 original and uniquely simple techniques - including Mindfulness, Yoga Breath inspired, Anchoring and numbing as well as breathing for contractions & 'pushing'.
-
The physiology of Birth - Stages of labour with OOMPH! Learn whats REALLY going on in there during birth!
-
Creating an oxytocin rich environment
-
Birth Partner tips from a professional birth partner!
-
Biomechanics for birth - how specialised movements and exercises during pregnancy & birth can help to prevent and resolve unwanted complications.
-
Birth Options & decisions
-
Creating your Birth Plan including a positive 'Plan B' & 'C'- we'll talk through common interventions, the research behind them & how to ensure you feel in control no matter what.
-
Birth Rights & feeling confident in asserting your needs to medical professionals
-
Understanding birth from an ancestral perspective - bringing lost ancient wisdom into the modern landscape of giving birth.
-
Exploring Alternative pathways - considering a home birth this time? Not sure which aspects of maternity care you'd like to use or decline? I can create a safe and supportive space for you and your partner to figure out what you really want this time around.
Refresher courses tend to consist of between 3 and 4 hours of contact time with Jessica, depending on what you would like to cover.
Pricing is £65 per hour on a private basis (including class material handouts, MP3s & after support).
Alternatively my FULL course on either a private basis or as part of a small group may be a great option for you (Priced at £267 - £687 per couple)

Meet your hypnobirthing teacher...
Hi! I'm Jessica Ord, award winning doula, birth educator, pregnancy mindset author & hypnobirthing specialist.
I pride myself in providing the very best in depth, evidence based but heart centred bespoke classes. Each course is perfectly tailored to the needs, worries and interests of the parents joining.
Over the past 6 years I have supported over 500 parents both in the lead up to and during their births in my role as a doula (professional birth partner).
I have also won several major awards, including 'Best Online Antenatal course - England', 'Hypnobirthing Specialist of the Year' and 'Antenatal course provider of the year'.
As well as having trained with some of the world's leading midwives, hypnotherapists, researchers & doulas, I have also had two incredibly positive and empowering natural births of my own (one a 'high risk' hospital birth & one a home birth).
I know what you really need to know, understand and have access to in order to have a beautiful experience of birth, no matter what your circumstances or wishes are.
I know how important it is that you not only have access to evidence based, trustworthy information about birth, but also that you feel seen and understood as an individual, not just 'another' pregnant woman on the conveyor belt of antenatal care.
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for preparing me for the birth of my daughter. Labour was more intense than I could ever have imagined, however I was able to let me body take over & ride out the sensations. I am so happy I did your course & I will be recommending you to every pregnant woman I meet

I recieved my box for the online course in the post this morning! I wasn't expecting it to be this beautiful! It even smells amazing! Such a luxurious touch to what is already an amazing course.
I've only watched the first 2 classes and already so much has shifted for me.

Labour was so magical. Towards the end the whole world just went still...I didn't feel pain, just total sublime joy & awe.
I still don't fully have the words for what this birth meant for me, but it was like a gift from the Universe to experience such a primal joy.
You helped me to fully prepare so that fear & pain never took over.
