Birth Preparation & Hypnobirthing

About Hypnobirthing

Becoming Mama offers KG Hypnobirthing as a complete antenatal course based on science and logic, giving you the knowledge to navigate the maternity system with confidence, make the right informed choices for you, feel in control of your birthing experience, with the techniques to harness your powerful mind and body, focus on the sensations, and totally own it! The course is relaxed, personal, and taught by a practising midwife. 


It will totally change what your pregnancy and birth experience could be. It's a true education into how physiological labour works, how your body is made for it, how to really tune into it and encourage an efficient and comfortable birth. You will learn how to train the mind to relax and let go, allowing your body to take over and harness its power to birth your baby. It's a way of ensuring you understand all the options available to you, that every step is your choice and that you feel in control throughout the process. I can help you eradicate any fear you have around childbirth. 


During the course we cover myths around hypnosis (neither you or your partner will do anything embarrassing involuntarily, nor will you sleep your way through labour!), demonstrate the power of the mind and provide practical information. KG Hypnobirthing combines self hypnosis techniques, and the power of positive language, with in-depth  information and knowledge about the process of natural labour and birth. This will help you re-think your views and expectations of birth, enabling you to feel confident and trust your body, which is naturally designed to give birth. 


To be effective, daily practice is required at home, but you will reap the rewards. We cannot promise a 'pain-free' birth, but KG Hypnobirthing always makes a difference, leading to a calm, confident and empowering birth experience, whatever the situation. It can be used for ANY type of birth and not all births go to plan. I am passionate about you being able to use your new knowledge and techniques for Plans B, C or D, as well as Plan A, ensuring all possibilities lead to a positive transition to parenthood. 


Our course is for anyone expecting a baby, looking for an informed, confident and calm birth. This could be with all the unknowns, worries and questions of a first baby, after a previous challenging birth, or for a planned Caesarean section. Partners are fully included as a crucial part of birth preparation, but equally you can utilise hypnobirthing techniques by yourself.

"Ellie's knowledge and enthusiasm inspired me to care about my birth. It was suddenly something my husband and I could prepare for together, look forward to and remember with love. We could not have done it without her. If you're unsure or have any questions on birth, please book with Becoming Mama, I want every new mama to have the experience I did!" - first time mother


"I can't recommend Ellie from Becoming Mama enough! Since meeting her she has inspired me so much, from positive birth stories, how to care for your baby when you get home, baby led weaning, to the importance and joy of baby massage. Incredible advice from an experienced midwife!" - second time mother, after all the classes!


"Ellie, you were a wonderful hypnobirthing tutor to us and made the biggest impact on my labour and delivery" - first time mother
