each birth is as individual as you

Not into hypnobirthing, but want some good, realistic and practical birth preparation? Suzanne draws on her decades of midwifery experience to bring you a full program of bespoke birth education to your home.

This is for you if:

  • you’d like to choose particular areas of birth preparation that suits you and your family

  • you’d rather have bespoke birth education in your home than go to classes or a workshop

  • you're feeling anxious or uncertain about labour and birth

  • you'd like more in-depth birth preparation than what you’ve been offered in the maternity system

  • you want practical, up-to-date information from a trained professional with experience of all types of birth

  • you've had a negative birth experience in the past

  • you're seeking a positive, joyful birthing experience that benefits both baby and you as parents

1-2-1 birth preparation

What will I learn?

All about the physiology of birth, feeding and caring for a newborn, and the modern maternity care system.

Some examples of what you will learn:

  • what to expect. Before labour, in early labour and in the dizzying heights of the birth.

  • practical ways your birth partner can support you

  • early labour coping techniques

  • the physiology of labour - what is actually happening to your body? What do you need to know about supporting your body during labour?

  • hormones of labour - how they function, and how to use them to your advantage to having a normal birth

  • delivering your placenta - what you need to know

  • the ins and outs of water birth

  • pain relief options - what you need to know

  • info on medical interventions - forceps, caesarean section, inductions.

  • how to get breastfeeding off to a good start

  • what newborns need to feed well

  • newborn sleep

  • postnatal period - what is normal, and how to heal from the birth

  • and more! You choose what you need

How do we get started?

3 2-hr sessions in the comfort of your home.

We will have a discussion before we begin on your individual circumstances and plans for the birth

I can't stress enough how helpful, useful and well prepared the course was. We absolutely loved the course and would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat! From a birthing perspective I feel so much more confident with what I want and how I hope my birth will go, but equally prepared if it doesn't go to plan. From a birthing partner perspective, you really helped us both understand the role of the birthing partner and how they can help from start to end. You were so engaging and easy and open to speak with. Thank you!

I can't believe it but I managed to have him with no pain relief other than using a tens machine and the pool and I needed no stitches! I definitely think the positive affirmations you spoke about and believing that my body was capable played a huge part in this. Thank you so much for all of your help, I completely underestimated how helpful and big a difference it would all make!

I found the positive mindset you taught us in hypnobirthing really helpful during the birth and I was able to focus on contractions being positive, that they were doing the right thing and although super painful every contraction was one closer to it all being over. Tom was really good at helping me get back on track if it was becoming too much. We worked together like you taught us and it worked really well, particularly during transition and when I was getting tired.
