Nearing the end of your pregnancy and short on time?

Or perhaps you feel your birth partner needs a bit more so you feel supported? Wanting more support throughout pregnancy with a virtual doula*?
This workshop is for you.
Groups are always small a maximum of three birth teams, so I can get to know you properly and offer the support you need.
This is an interactive, relaxed and enjoyable one‑day workshop (with plenty of breaks and snacks!).
Whether this is your first baby or your next, you’re welcome here. If you’ve experienced previous birth trauma, please contact me before booking so we can make sure a group setting feels right for you.

I Teach From Experience...
When I gave birth in 2016, I did what many do - I bought a cheap, generic online hypnobirthing course and thought I had it all figured out. But when the day came, I felt overwhelmed, unprepared, and out of control and unsupported. I didn’t realise I had choices.
What followed was a traumatic experience, and the lack of support afterward left me feeling lost.
But I’ve always believed - if you don’t like something, change something.
So when I became pregnant again in 2019, I made a promise to myself. This time, I truly understood hypnobirthing. I practised it fully. I went into labour feeling informed, grounded, and connected to my body.
I made decisions that were right for me and my baby. And although the birth wasn’t “perfect,” it was mine.
I felt calm. I felt strong. I felt empowered. And so did my birth partner.
That's why I am so passionate about supporting you, whenever you need me - a fully qualified and experienced Hypnobirthing and Birth Coach.
Your small group Birth Coaching + Hypnobirthing Workshop is very relaxed. I only teach small groups (maximum of 3 birth teams) so I can really get to know you, you feel comfortable, and you can meet other birth teams in a similar position.
"My partner and I completed the 4 hour Workshop with Sophie as first time expecting parents. She gave us an abundance of knowledge and tools to feel excited about birth, rather than scared. I feel empowered by my knowledge and am creating a safe space around me to go into these last few weeks with a positive outlook. We can’t thank Sophie enough!"
