Birth Preparation & Hypnobirthing
WHERE: Online or In-Person
WHEN: Delivered 1:1 at a time to suit you
We believe that the more you know, the better informed you are, the better your birth experience will be. If you understand what's happening to your body, you're less likely to fear it and will understand how to work with it.
Mother Town’s signature birth preparation course ‘All Things Birthy’ is a comprehensive deep dive into understanding the physiology of birth, the science, the transformation as well as how to navigate the maternity system, learning your birth rights and supporting you to plan for the birth of your dreams. It does not pretend that birth is pain free or easy, but it prepares you to approach birth from an informed position, to know your options, and equips you with a toolbox of comfort measures, hypnobirthing techniques and biomechanical skills so that you can birth like the QUEEN that you are and birth the way you want. Your body, your baby, your choice.
In addition to the full birth preparation course, we offer standalone masterclasses, enabling you to deep dive further into the topics that you need more support with. Masterclasses are delivered on a 1:1 basis and are tailored to you and your unique experiences, to get you feeling empowered and ready to birth in power!
If you’re interested in finding out more, book in for a vibe check call so I can get a better idea of what it is you’re looking for + we can discuss options!

Birth Ball Flow
WHERE: Warlingham Village Hall and Online
WHEN: TBC
I see you Mama... you've got one of those big bouncy balls everyone said would revolutionise your pregnancy…? It's taking up space, you sit on it sometimes, bounce up and down on it, and not sure what else to do?
I've got the perfect workshop for you! I will guide you through a gentle relaxation flow of movements using your birth ball that will help to balance the pelvis, encourage your body and baby to work together to settle into the best position for birth whilst also relaxing and calming your mind. Let me show you how to make the most out of your birth ball for pregnancy and for use in labour. Join me for this 75 minute workshop.
To join this session you must bring your own birth ball along with you :)
