Hypnobirthing for a Caesarean Birth
A caesarean birth is major abdominal surgery and approaching an elective caesarean or the possibility of once, can come with apprehension and fear. This fear can build throughout pregnancy and result in a more stressful birthing experience.
A calm caesarean course helps you to prepare positively for a caesarean birth; releasing fear, knowing the choices that are yours to make and having the tools to make your birth as and recovery as positive as possible.

I cannot recommend Birth With Choice highly enough! Having anxiety from a previous birth experience me and my partner decided to look into hypnobirthing. From the moment we started speaking to Eleanor she put me at ease with how warm and friendly she is. We learnt so much from the course and it prepared us to feel confident in our decisions and empowered about our birth and we ended up having the most positive birthing experience. Eleanor goes above and beyond to make sure you feel supported throughout. She has a clear passion for what she does and a genuine desire to help people. Thank you so much Eleanor. So pleased we met you 😊

I can't recommend Birth with Choice enough! Eleanor was absolutely amazing - so knowledgeable, supportive, and reassuring throughout the entire course. The techniques she taught us have made me feel so much more relaxed and confident about birth. Before the classes, I felt quite anxious, but now I genuinely feel prepared and empowered. The breathing exercises, visualisations, and relaxation methods she shared are invaluable. It was well worth the money, and I would highly recommend it to anyone expecting a baby. Thank you, Eleanor, for making such a difference in our journey! Ciara, March 2025
