About
Sometimes the full course isn't the right fit for you - maybe you know you are having a caesarean section birth or induction and you want to plan specifically for that? There are lots of ways you can plan specifically for these births - understanding what will happen and your choices, having techniques and ways to make it as calm and positive experience as possible.
Refresher Course - If you have previously completed a hypnobirthing course (and it doesn't have to have been a Calm Birth Method course) then the Refresher Course will re-cap the key elements of hypnobirthing and cover key techniques and tools (including breathing and relaxation tools) to help you work with your body in labour. It also offers you and your birth companion dedicated time to focus on baby and planning for birth.
Refresher Course is 2.5h and is £65 (£75 if you would like relaxation MP3s and The Calm Birth Method book included). For face-to-face sessions travel is included within 5 miles of Ely, otherwise plus travel.
