Hypnobirthing
Hypnobirthing
As a Birth Prep in a Box (BPIAB) Facilitator, I offer a 1-2-1 hypnobirthing course live online so that you can enjoy learning from the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you.
Birth Prep in a Box is grounded in evidence-based practices, developed with care and the entire course accompanies visual cards and videos. My aim is to leave you feeling fully informed, confident, calm, capable and ready to prepare for your positive birth.
​
During the course, we will dive into the physiology of birth first so that everything makes sense. We will explore your hormones and how to harness them for a positive experience. We will learn about the phases of labour as well as the golden hours and fourth trimester. We will explore the practical preparation, learning how to make informed decisions about your birth environment, pain relief options, biomechanics, microbiome and your legal rights along with guidance on writing your birth plan.
​​​
In our hypnosis and mindfulness sessions we will dive into the science of hypnosis and mindfulness, explore the fear-tension-pain cycle, and learn how the brain and body work together during birth. Topics include the autonomic nervous system, vagus nerve, affirmations, anchors, breathing techniques, the sounds of labour and so much more.
The full course combines both hypnobirthing along with full antenatal education, guidance and preparation. I usually offer these sessions weekly online over a 7-week period. However, if you are nearing the end of your pregnancy and require longer sessions or sessions closer together, then we can arrange this.
​
​If you have previously done a hypnobirthing course but are looking for a refresher then this full course can be adapted to suit you. Equally if you’re after something different then just get in touch to find out how I can support you with a bespoke package to suit your needs. The joy of BPIAB is the versatility it offers to families as it can easily be tailored to whatever your situation and needs may be.

“I liked having the cards on screen but also in my hand. Being able to ask questions as we went along was really helpful and I loved starting every session with a mindfulness practice."
"This course was brilliant! Cat was very professional and I loved the easy to follow format. The opportunity to have guided mindfulness to ensure I had the confidence to do this outside the sessions was great. Each section was easy to follow along with and invited discussion."
“Thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Cat. She really listened to my thoughts, feelings and preferences and I felt supported in any decisions I made. I gained insightful information for me to make further decisions about my birth."
