Hypnobirthing Courses
Modern hypnobirthing classes in Peterborough and online
The Love Parenthood mission is to help you go from feeling overwhelmed about giving birth to trusting in your ability to cope and make the right choices for you. Hypnobirthing is not a type of birth, it’s a set of resources and an understanding of birth, which can help you have a more positive experience.
The science of birth and the mind body connection
Relaxation techniques and how to manage pain
choosing where to give birth and how to set up your birth environment
The role of your birth partner
special circumstances and how you can have a positive birth whatever happens
How to write a birth plan… and what to put on it!
How to prepare emotionally and physically for birth
The stages of labour and what to expect at each stage
the fourth trimester- planning for your first weeks together
‘ Jo was a wonderful teacher, very calming and knowledgeable. She addressed all the worries that I had about the birth and put me and my husband at ease about the whole thing. I don’t feel scared going in to the birth now and I feel as prepared as I could be for the labour. Thank you for all the help and support!’
My husband and I did Jo’s hypnobirthing course virtually due to COVID-19 and we both thought the whole experience was fantastic from start to end. Even before the sessions started, Jo was in touch regularly providing amazing advice and support which has continued throughout my pregnancy, and reassuringly will continue afterwards!’
The Love Parenthood method of hypnobirthing is full of evidence-based tools and techniques. Led by a clinical hypnotherapist, you’ll leave with a good understanding of the mind body connection and how to support yourself through birth.

What do parents say about the Love Parenthood hypnobirthing course?
‘Expecting our first child my husband and I were quite anxious and nervous about the birth. We got in touch with Jo about joining her hypnobirthing group course and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made.’
Which hypnobirthing course is for me?
Small Group Course:
These hypnobirthing classes are held in person in Peterborough. Get to know other parents before baby arrives by joining a group course. I keep groups small (max 4 couples) so that you have the space and time to get to know each other and to ask as many questions as you need. Come prepared to join in the discussion, but don’t worry I wont be making you do any team building exercises! These sessions are informal and relaxed.
£250 Please get in touch for next course date
Private one to one course:
Enjoy the full hypnobirthing course in the comfort of my home studio in Peterborough. The 1:1 course is perfect if you want the flexibility of arranging session times that suit you. They are also a fantastic option if you want a more personalised course, for example if you have opted for an elective caesarean, a VBAC or are pregnant after a trauma or a loss.
£360
Online private course
These sessions take place over Zoom, you will receive the full course and my continued support via email. A great choice if you don’t live locally, you or your birth partner are traveling, or you just prefer the ease of logging on in your PJs! Your goody bag and workbook will be sent in the post.
