classes
From pregnancy to babyhood and beyond, here at Blooming Wonderful we offer a range of classes to suit everyone. Inspired by what I wish I'd known as a first-time mum, and the classes I wish I'd gone to, each class is carefully planned and tailored to the needs of every parent and baby to create a perfect blend of empowered learning, information and support
Hypnobirthing Classes
​
Hypnobirthing is an approach to childbirth preparation that combines elements of self-hypnosis, relaxation techniques, breathwork and visualisation to promote a positive and empowering birthing experience. Hypnobirthing is based on the idea that we can own our birth experience by understanding that fear and tension can contribute to the pain and a feeling of being out of control during birth. Through various relaxation and mindfulness techniques, we can re-wire our brains to positively re-frame how we think and feel about birth, to understand that birth is something that we are designed to do, and not something to be fearful of.
There is often a misconception that hypnobirthing is all about breathing and being relaxed. In truth, this is just one small (but important) part of it. Here at Blooming Wonderful, we explore, learn and practice powerful tried-and-tested hypnobirthing tools. But we also look into the science behind hypnobirthing and how birth works. Through 'The Calm Birth Method', we learn about
birth positions, emotional and physical preparation, the role of the birth partner, special circumstances, birth planning and lots more.
Whether you're dreaming of a cosy home birth or a C-section is more your cup of tea, we have a range of hypnobirthing classes to help you to prepare for the birth of your little one, no matter what type of birth you are planning. There are no guarantees when it comes to birth, but our courses will guide you to see how you can plan, be prepared and be flexible. We explore how to make informed choices at every stage, allowing you to confidently make the right decisions for you and your family and stacking the odds of a positive birth experience in your favour.
