Hypnobirthing & Antenatal classes in Prestwich, Manchester and Online

Helping you to feel powerful, informed and positive about the birth of your baby

Hello! Let me introduce myself…

My name is Lizzie and I am a hypnobirthing specialist. I found myself in this role after experiencing hypnobirthing training myself and having a wonderfully positive birth back in 2021. It didn’t go exactly “to plan” but I still consider my birth story a positive one. I want more families to feel this way!

I love everything birth related and through my role working in the NHS already, I know the system in the UK well.

I live in Prestwich, Manchester with my wee family but I am originally from Dundee, Scotland. I love everything Manchester has to offer apart from the fact we are landlocked here! I grew up with the sea on my doorstep and I miss having a stroll along the front so much!

I’d love to get to know you better, please email me or follow and message me on my Instagram if you have any questions at all.

So, what’s hypnobirthing all about?

Are you feeling a bit apprehensive about birth? A bit frightened? Feeling like a nervous nelly? Feel like you will not have control of the situation? I get you, I was like this too. I wasn’t sure what to expect other than it will hurt like hell and I would lack all control of what was happening. Did it hurt? Yes, a bit but nowhere near what I thought it would from what I had heard from others. Did it go out of my control, at one stage I was heavily advised to accept some intervention but I never felt like I lacked control then. You wonder why I say this? It is all down to the hypnobirthing training I had during my pregnancy that took me from feeling scared to prepared.

I want to help you to feel like this too, know you are not alone in how you feel and I can be there to help you.

In a nutshell, hypnobirthing is a full antenatal prep class with an emphasis on helping your family to achieve the most positive birth possible.

In my classes, you will learn all about the anatomy and physiology around birth as well as learning how to create a positive outlook on birth and work with your body. We will help you to release any fear you have and make sure you are feeling calm, confident and positive about the upcoming birth of your baby. This is achieved through visualisations, positive affirmations and some lovely hypnosis scripts that will reaffirm the positivity of birth in your mind alongside valuable insight in to the workings of our NHS maternity system

FAQ…

  • It sounds a bit scary doesn’t it? Sounds a bit “hippy”? Well, let me tell you that this is where your real power will lie. It does stand for hypnosis but don’t for a minute think I will be waving a pocket watch at you or asking you to bark like a dog!
    Every single day, we all (everyone!) go in to a state of hypnosis. It is that moment just before we fall asleep when we feel so relaxed, comfortable and are zoning out from the noises in our environment. It is such a natural state for us to be in and is so powerful for birth.

    Through hypnobirthing, I can give you the tools you need to shut out the noises around you and disconnect from those strong waves you feel during birth so you feel relaxed, in control and dare I say it more comfortable that you thought!

    Relaxed mind and body = more comfortable and shorter birth

  • Yes! I have personal experience of this alongside lots of others in the UK and beyond!
