If you’re looking for a calm, confident way to prepare for birth, hypnobirthing might just be what you need. You don’t even have to leave home to learn it. Live online hypnobirthing courses offer a flexible, accessible way to get ready for birth.

Why Choose Online Hypnobirthing Courses?

You might be wondering, “Why should I pick an online course over an in-person one?” Well, there are plenty of reasons that make online hypnobirthing courses a fantastic option. Maybe you want to fit it around your daily schedule and want something you can do on an evening without the stress of travelling after a busy day. Maybe you want to work with me but distance is an issue.

First off, flexibility is a huge bonus. You can learn at your own pace, whenever it suits you best. We can plan sessions to suit your time and needs.

Plus, you get to learn in your own comfortable space. No need to worry about travel, parking, or finding childcare. You can create your own peaceful environment, which is perfect for practising relaxation techniques.

What to Expect from Live Online Hypnobirthing Courses

So, what exactly do my live online courses cover? My live online hypnobirthing courses will guide you through:

Breathing techniques to help you stay calm and focused during labour.
Visualisation and relaxation exercises that ease tension and reduce fear.
Understanding the birth process so you feel informed and empowered.
Positive affirmations to boost your confidence.
Partner involvement tips to ensure your birth partner knows how to support you.
Your birth environment and how to adapt it to support your birth experience.
Practical comfort techniques you can use during labour to help you cope.
Birth and postnatal planning a look at the timeline from pregnancy, to birth and those early days- making sure you have all you need to make it a better experience.

My courses also include audio tracks for guided relaxation and hypnosis, which you can listen to anytime. This makes it easier to practise regularly and build your confidence.

The best part? You’ll learn how to create a calm, positive mindset that can make a real difference during labour and beyond. It’s not about controlling everything but about feeling in control of your experience where possible, or adapting to things you can't control.

Can you learn hypnobirthing online?

Absolutely! Learning hypnobirthing online is not only possible but also highly effective. The key is choosing a course that offers clear, easy-to-follow instructions and plenty of support. With my live online courses you have me there to guide you through it all step by step, and I'm there on WhatsApp or email afterwards for support up until birth.

Many parents find that learning online actually helps them absorb the information better, as it is less stressful not having to travel to a venue.

How to Make the Most of Your Online Hypnobirthing Course

To get the best from your live online hypnobirthing course, here are some handy tips:

Set a regular time for your practice after the session. This ensures the techniques become second nature.
Create a calm space for your learning and practice sessions. Dim the lights, play soft music, or light a candle if that helps you relax.
Involve your birth partner from the start. Share the sessions and practice together. Their support can make a huge difference.
Use the audio tracks daily. Even 10 minutes of guided relaxation can build your confidence and reduce anxiety.
Take notes as you go...sometimes your own thoughts and getting things down on paper can be helpful alongside the course notes.

Why Hypnobirthing Can Change Your Birth Experience

Hypnobirthing isn’t just about relaxation; it’s about transforming your mindset. When you approach birth with calm and confidence, it can really change how you experience labour.

Many parents report feeling more in control, less fearful, and more confident about the whole thing. Hypnobirthing techniques help reduce the stress hormones that can make labour harder work. Instead, you enhance calming endorphins.

This doesn’t mean every birth will be perfect or pain-free and that is not really the aim in the first place. Hypnobirthing gives you tools to cope better and feel empowered, no matter what happens. Birth can be intense, but we aim to equip you with coping techniques to get you through it, rather than aiming for pain free.
