Hypnobirthing
Over the years, you may have heard many birth stories from friends and family. Sadly, we hear more negative then positive experiences when labour is discussed.
What are your feelings regarding your birth?
By hearing these stories, your subconscious mind stores all this negativity regarding birth, creating patterns of doubt that can feel overwhelming.
You may have heard that birth comes with high risk, which may fill you with fear and leave you feeling anxious about your own upcoming experience.
Hypnobirthing is about changing this narrative completely.
“When you change the way you view birth, the way you birth changes.”
As a certified instructor, I've witnessed countless women reclaim their confidence and transform their birth experiences. My course will provide the education you need to understand how your body and brain work together to support each other, giving you practical tools to work with your natural birthing instincts rather than against them.
Whether this is your first birth or you're hoping to heal from a previous difficult experience, you deserve to feel prepared and empowered.
Do you want to look forward to birth?
By gaining the confidence that trusting your body and following your instincts will best prepare you, then you have come to the right place. Together, we'll replace those stored negative messages with knowledge, confidence, and genuine excitement for your baby's arrival.
"To educate, empower & support a generation of women & birthing families so that they have the belief and trust in their bodies, their babies & their own capabilities. To know that hypnobirthing can support them with the confidence, knowledge, tools and techniques to birth calmly & confidently. To have a positive birth regardless of how or where they choose to birth their baby."
How will you feel after a Hypnobirthing Course?
You will look forward to birth and meeting your baby with genuine excitement! The anticipation feels positive and empowering, not overwhelming.
Your partner is on the same page as you! They understand hypnobirthing principles and feel confident supporting you, knowing exactly how to be your advocate and create the calm space you need.
You will have deep confidence in your body's ability to birth - you will know lots of practical skills that are going to support you through labour.
You will have confidence regarding relaxation and breathing techniques. These tools feel natural and automatic, ready to support you whenever you need them most.
You will intuitively know what sort of environment is going to support your birth - Your partner will know how to create this wherever you decide to birth. Whether at home, Midwife Lead Unit, or hospital, you can transform any space into your sanctuary.
You're confident that you've created a birth plan that covers all eventualities, including the unexpected. You feel prepared rather than anxious, knowing you have options and preferences that honour your values.

What my clients say ...
"My partner found the course extremely useful and is now confident to ask to for/refuse certain procedures in the instance that I may not be able to voice my desires. We both found it especially helpful to be able to go through our birth preferences with Chantal and be given guidance with it. Overall, we’d both recommend doing a course, it’s really given us the confidence that we can have a natural and calm birth, at the same time we also feel prepared for if things don’t go quite as we would like.”
Samantha
“We could not recommend Chantal and her hypnobirthing course enough. We needed a refresher ahead of the birth of our second baby and we honestly felt so much better and more prepared after just a few hours with Chantal. We used all of her techniques during our labour, and she was on hand with amazing advice just when we needed her. We had the wonderful birth that we wanted, and we couldn’t have done it without Chantal’s kindness and support!”
Laura
"We decided to refresh ourselves with Chantal's Hypnobirthing refresher course, mainly for my husband who was overseas for our first birth. It was everything we needed as a top up without being overwhelming.
Chantal delivered it in a relaxed manner which made it not seem like 'learning'. Every encounter with Chantal left me feeling calm, with a sense of empowerment.
My birth was magical using the birth pool, wave comb and breathing techniques until the last bit where I asked for some gas and air.
Eternally grateful."
Claire
"Chantal came into our lives at a time when we'd been through a lot and anxiety levels were high. From our first meeting we were impressed by Chantal's calm, warm and reassuring manner - she put us at ease immediately. The antenatal support sessions and private Hypnobirthing Course were so helpful in preparing us practically and mentally for birth."
Emily
"After a very difficult first birth I knew I wanted things to go differently with my second birth so I decided I would book a Hypnobirthing Course. Chantal was recommended to me by my midwife and she was brilliant. The sessions were in the comfort of my home and gave me a great understanding of the labour process and the tools I can use to help me get through it. Towards the end of my pregnancy I wasn't nervous about birth anymore and that was down to Chantal. I'm so pleased I managed to have the experience I wanted with a lovely waterbirth, I would definitely recommend Chantal."
Katie
"We completed our hypnobirthing refresher course with Chantal last week, and it was fantastic! She tailored the entire 4 hour session to suit our needs and specific circumstances as we prepare for the birth or our second child. Her knowledge, calm approach, and personalised focus made the experience incredibly helpful. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to feel empowered and prepared for birth!"
Cath
"We recently had the pleasure of doing a private hypnobirthing course with Chantal in the comfort of our home.
She is so knowledgeable and made us feel much more confident and informed about the upcoming birth of our baby.
My husband and I would highly recommend Chantal."
Katherine
"We recently took part in the hypnobirthing workshop with Chantal. We had done the full course for our firstborn but wanted a refresher for baby number 2.
Chantal was really professional and informative. She gave us so much useful advise and happily answered any questions we had.
Chantal also lent out some homebirth equipment that we are so grateful for. We would definitely recommend Chantal to others and are so thankful that we found her to help support us through a positive second birth."
Marianne
I had heard lots of positive things about hypnobirthing over the years and always intended to follow the course when pregnant. I discussed hypnobirthing with my midwife early on and she couldn't have spoken more highly of Chantal.
We booked Chantal in and from the initial phone call, I felt reassured, at ease and excited about the course to come.
Chantal came to our home and hosted a one-to-one hypnobirthing course, which was extremely insightful and interesting. She was able to answer every question we had (no matter how silly or off-subject we felt they were!)
Having read various books and now attended multiple NCT classes, we feel Chantal's hypnobirthing course has been the most beneficial thing we could have done prior to the birth of our first baby.
I feel confident going in to my labour and am even looking forward to it!
Can't thank Chantal enough. x
