HypnoBirthing®

The HypnoBirthing course runs over four weekly sessions of two and a half hours. The course costs £295 and includes the HypnoBirthing book by Marie Mongan, HypnoBirthing audio CD and a folder of handouts.
The cost of the course is for both mother and father (or birth companion), not per person.

Group classes, with no more than five couples, are running throughout the year in the Stoke Newington area and will be £295 per couple.

Private classes held in your own home, at your own schedule, can be arranged and cost £450 per couple irrespective of whether it is on a weekday or weekend - whatever suits you

If you'd like to join us at one of the group classes please call or email me. Alternatively you can download the enrollment form here and return it to me as soon as possible. Classes get booked up very quickly as I like to keep them small so you have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and fully understand the course.
Terms and conditions can be found in pdf format at the bottom of the page.

Employing a doula

Before you decide to hire me as your doula, we would have a meeting together. We would obviously need to get on, as I would be providing support at such an important and private time for you and your family, and I would need to be someone you would want to be around. We would discuss exactly what you wanted and talk about your needs and requirements and you can quiz me about my experience and beliefs. There is no charge for this initial consultation and you are under no obligation to hire me.

The role of birth doula includes at least two antenatal visits, looking in detail at the sort of labour and birth you want, discussing your options, maybe compiling a birth plan with you, or going through it if you have already made one,planning your birth, maybe having a trial run to the hospital / visit the labour ward if applicable.

Essentially these meetings are about us getting to know each other, building up a rapport and a trust between us and enabling you to talk through and address any concerns you may have about the pregnancy, labour or birth.

Also included are:

Unlimited telephone calls and emails to answer any questions you may have, or just to chat things through

Access to my collection of useful books, dvds and cds

I will be on call, day or night, for four weeks, ready for you to go into labour, two weeks before your "due date" and two weeks after. You can call me at anytime during this period and I will come and support you in labour, wherever you are

Attendance at your birth - for however long it takes

One postnatal visit of 1-2 hours to talk through the birth, discuss feeding, discuss how you feel you are managing and whether you need any postnatal support

Price for birth doula is £600 all inclusive

Aromatherapy Massage

Our initial session will last between 1 1/2 and 2 hours as I will take a full consultation looking at all aspects of your life in order to create a truly holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment. Follow on sessions will be 1hr15 in duration.

I now use a side-on massage technique for all clients, not just those who are pregnant, as it's been found to be much more comfortable and relaxing than lying face down with your head through a hole!

Treatments can be done at your house so you can truly relax following your treatment; nominal travel costs will apply to locations further than two miles from N16.

Initial consult - £75, follow ups £50
