Group Hypnobirthing Course Wakefield & Leeds

suitable for everyone from 20 weeks of pregnancy

Calling all parents to be looking for an antenatal course in Wakefield & Leeds!

Are you surrounded by well-meaning friends and family sharing one too many scary birth stories? Have people laughed at you for even contemplating a water birth or drug-free labour? We've all been there! But, I have the best news!

Those doubts and fears don't have to define your birth journey. It's time to kick them to the curb and get really excited, because my group hypnobirthing course is about to transform you into an absolute birth warrior! Honestly!

Do you want to really understand the birth process and what’s going to happen to your body during labour?

Are you looking for something that will help your birth partner not feel like a spare part and instead be the best support for you?

How about throwing all your birth fears in the bin and instead feeling like an absolute badass that is ready to boss your birth?

If you answered YES to any of the above then good news, you’ve come to the right place!

I'm Franki and I’ll be your hypnobirthing bestie, guiding you and your birth partner (plus a small group of other like-minded couples) through must-know tools, techniques and tips for birth. Together, we'll practice relaxation exercises that'll have you feeling calmer than you ever imagined possible for your birth. And I'll make sure you are fully prepped about everything you need to know about labour and birth, how to work with your body to make it as easy as possible for you, how your birth partner can help and how to write a birth plan that feels perfect for YOU and your baby! Plus so much more.

My group courses are always a casual, judgment free zone for you to ask me anything and learn from your fellow expectant parents so there is no stone left unturned.

I don’t sugarcoat things and I will not be making any false promises to you, like, “you can just breathe a baby out” or “if you do it right birth isn’t painful”. None of those things are helpful!

I will NEVER tell you what choices you should make, how you should birth your baby or what a “perfect” birth looks like, because those choices are yours and yours alone.

But I will be your biggest cheerleader, making sure you feel prepared, confident, and ready for your upcoming birth! By the time we finish, I reckon you'll be feeling pretty excited for birth, feel in control, calm, and really trust in yourself that you can do this!!

What makes me so sure?

I have experienced the absolute magic of hypnobirthing first hand!

I absolutely, whole heartedly believe in the life-changing impact it can have on your birth. I was absolutely sh*****g myself about my second birth and hypnobirthing turned all of that on its head for me. Instead when birth rolled around I was absolutely ready for it and it worked wonders for me, especially when my birth went a bit of track! Yep, you heard that right. When my birth went a bit pear shaped, hypnobirthing came into its own and helped me still have a really positive experience.

But don’t just take my word for it, my clients have also said the same…

“I felt really prepared for a variety of possible labours and knew that however our baby joined us, I’d be able to deal with any eventuality”
— Rebecca F
“I had always been terrified of childbirth so I went to Franki.I look back on my birth experience really fondly and I know the session with Franki really helped...I felt so empowered and strong”
— Samantha S

I’m gonna level with you, not all hypnobirthing courses are the same, so let’s talk about what my course actually looks like. What you’ll learn, where it is held and when so you can decide if this is the right course for you, because it’s important you feel like we are a good fit. So here goes;

  • Most people just bring one birth partner, but if you are having 2 birth partners and want to bring them both send a message and we can arrange this.

  • Absolutely! As much as I really encourage people to bring a birth partner with them, I also understand this isn’t possible for everyone and you are more then welcome to come on your own.

  • You can start a course whenever you feel ready. I recommend any time from 20 weeks but ultimately it is your choice.

  • It is never too late! Even if you are 39 weeks pregnant you can still do a course. You are welcome to join a group course or I also have 1:1 course and a crash course for those who don’t have quite as much time. Message me and we can work out what will be best for you!

  • Hypnobirthing is for all types of birth. You can absolutely use hypnobirthing for a c-section!
