I am really excited to announce that I will be offering all my usual wonderful support over the glorious internet! You can now beam me in to your living room, snuggle up on your own sofa and receive the same face to face bespoke course/sessions as if you were in one of my teaching rooms.

No pre-recordings, no generic info.

Lots of discussions, Q&As, demos, bespoke content.

You’re social distancing or self-isolating, but:

Gloriously and happily, tiny humans are still growing and being born. Parents still need wisdom, relaxation and a bunch of brilliant tools for labour and birth.

The solution:

I am offering FREE 30min consultations over the phone for anyone so that you can work out what your options are, and what is best for you for your birth preparation.

All Birthing Programme - Hypnobirthing, courses (March/April group and Private courses over March and April) will be conducted over computer screens using Zoom.

All other bespoke antenatal prep sessions for the immediate future will also conducted over computer screens using Zoom.

How does it work:

All you need to do is to download Zoom onto your computer for free (this is a bit like skype). I will then send you a link to our class and when you load it up on the 21st, you will see myself and your class mates. We will all be able to hear and see each other. We can have discussions, ask questions, show demos, I can screen share any videos with you and I can send you files etc. All as if we were in a room together. It may feel a little strange at first, but once we all relax into it, my hope is that you will discover that it's actually a really great way to attend a course.

For those on the Birthing Programme - Hypnobirthing, I will also post you your work book so that you have your course materials.

Downsides:

No hugs...I'm a hugger.

Benefits:

No travel time for you.

You can snuggle up on your own sofa with your own favourite coffee blend.

You don't even have to get out of your jammies (total #win).

You don’t have to be local to me…open to everyone in the UK!

You'll be safe from COVID-19.

Being flexible:

Each week we'll take stock of the current situation. When things change and become a little safer for everyone, then we can reassess and decide to meet in real life or continue over Zoom.
