A complete hypnobirthing antenatal programme

 

At Birth Wight, we teach The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme.  It is a complete 10 hour programme, over four 2.5

partners from 20 weeks of pregnancy.

 

A workbook and six pre-recorded relaxing mp3s are provided to our expectant clients to support their practice

at home.

 

The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme has National Course Accreditation and Verification (NCAV) from FEDANT

Private classes

 

Private classes are available upon request in extreme circumstances only, due to personal circumstances.  These are usually taught in my home in Wootton.

 

36 or more weeks pregnant?

I offer private fast-track programmes over a shorter course of time, usually a weekend or for two nights back-to-back over the course of a fortnight, to ensure that you learn everything that is usually taught across four separate, weekly classes, in a shortened timeframe to suit your needs and your impending arrival!  Available in extreme circumstances only.
