THE GROUP HYPNOBIRTHING &
BIRTH PREPARATION COURSE
The Group Hypnobirthing & Birth Preparation Course takes place at the wonderful studio of Fiona Walker Photography, Hazel Grove, Stockport.
​
On this course, you will be able to meet other expectant or current parents, understand the science behind Hypnobirthing, learn how to feel well informed and in control of decision making, be equipped with tools for a positive birth experience and learn how to approach birth with a calm, positive and confident mindset.
"From the moment I booked, everything was seamless. Communication was clear and effortless, and the course content was thoughtfully curated and far exceeded my expectations. Sophie is not only deeply knowledgeable in her field, but also warm, compassionate, and truly attentive to your individual needs. She’s a fantastic teacher—everything was presented clearly and at a perfect pace, with plenty of space to ask questions and reflect on my previous birth experience, which meant so much to me."

What will I learn on the course?
This course offers evidence-based, honest antenatal education designed to empower you with knowledge and confidence. As a Midwife and Hypnobirthing Specialist, I believe that knowledge is power and my goal is to ensure every client leaves feeling informed, supported, and confident in their birth choices. You'll learn practical tools and techniques to help you feel calm, prepared, and in control as you approach your birth journey.
What do people say?
"Sophie is a fantastic teacher, and this course is brilliant. We both learnt so much, from breathing and relaxation techniques through to all of your options during the birth. We came out feeling very prepared and full of knowledge ready for anything that might come up when I go into labour. The bag of supplies we got was amazing too, from the workbook through to the wooden comb, essential oils etc. All felt really well structured and relaxed too. Nice small group size and always the option to ask questions even if they weren’t covered in the course. Sophie is really knowledgeable! Thanks so much, we loved it."
