What is Hypnobirthing?
Science.
Hypnobirthing isn’t about having a “perfect” birth, and it's not hippy.
It’s about understanding how your body works, learning simple, effective tools to stay calm and in control, and feeling confident to make informed decisions, whatever path your birth takes.
In my courses, we focus on:
- How birth works (your body and your hormones)
- Breathing and relaxation techniques
- Reducing fear and anxiety
- Understanding your rights and choices
- Supporting you and your birth partner as a team
This is preparation that supports you for any kind of birth
The A Mother World Approach
Birth is once in a lifetime
My approach is:
- Calm and supportive - pregnancy and beyond
- Personalised
- Evidence-based and realistic, but never overwhelming
- Honest and kind
- For all birth experience
- Focused on you feeling informed, confident and empowered
- Taught from experience
This is a space where you can ask questions, explore your options and feel fully supported, always without judgement.
What you'll gain
By the end of your hypnobirthing course, you will feel:
✔ Confident and excited about birth
✔ Less anxious and more in control
✔ Clear on your options and choices
✔ Prepared for whatever way birth goes
✔ Feel supported by your birth partner, with ongoing guidance from Sophie throughout your pregnancy
✔ Real life tools to feel ready for early parenthood, not just birth (I won't teach you how to change a nappy, but you can read that on the packet!)
Most antenatal classes end when you walk out the door...A Mother World is different.
Every hypnobirthing course includes Virtual Doula support, so you'll continue to receive personalised guidance, reassurance and evidence-based support throughout your pregnancy.

Why Parents Love A Mother World
★★★★★
"We both feel so much more prepared and informed about the birthing process and excited to put all of the things we learnt into action and meet our baby in a relaxed environment. Sophie’s light-hearted approach was fab and made everyone feel at ease and welcome in the class."
Chloe
★★★★★
"Sophie’s Hypnobirthing workshop was amazing! She made me feel relaxed from the very start. I had a lot of anxiety about my first birth experience and leaving the class I felt informed, empowered and excited about it. I could not recommend Sophie enough!"
Emma
★★★★★
"Sophie is amazing! We walked into the first session not having a clue what to expect from birth and full of nerves to walking out the last session feeling empowered and excited for the future. Sophie is so kind, patient and understanding. She has so much knowledge and kind and reassuring advice. I would thoroughly recommend the full hypnobirthing course to anyone"

FAQs
When should I start a Hypnobirthing course?
This class is ideal if you are 20 weeks+ so you can spend time practicing techniques and really changing your mindset. However please contact me should you be earlier or later on in your pregnancy and we can have a chat. You don't have to do the usual NCT course. My complete courses are a full antenatal course, and the group courses are set up for you to socialise and meet your community. I don't just teach and run - you get my knowledge and support as long as you need it.
Is Hypnobirthing for me?
You may be a bit put off by the 'hypno' bit, and when I first heard of hypnobirthing, I was too. But I'm not a hippy, and Hypnobirthing is knowledge about what happens so you're not fearful of birth. You'll have a positive birth however you birth your baby. I teach this because I care about your birth experience, and I teach from experience. Take a look at 'about me'
Should my birth partner attend Hypnobirthing classes?
Yes absolutely! My classes are for the birth team. You'll learn how the birth partner can support the birthing person, and it is important for the team to understand how hypnobirthing works.
What's a Virtual Doula?
A Virtual Doula is exactly what it sounds like, a doula who supports you remotely throughout your pregnancy.
Instead of only seeing me during your class, you'll have ongoing support through dedicated WhatsApp messaging and voice notes. Whether you're processing new information from an appointment, working on your birth plan, wondering about your choices, or simply looking for a little reassurance, I'm here to help.
You don't have to wait until the next class or search the internet alone. You'll have someone who already knows you, understands your hopes and concerns, and is there to support you every step of the way.
Will you be at my birth?
No. A Virtual Doula provides support throughout your pregnancy remotely and is not present during labour or birth.
Instead, you'll receive personalised guidance, evidence-based information and emotional support in the weeks and months leading up to your baby's arrival, helping you feel calm, informed and confident before birth.
