Group Hypnobirthing Course in Lytham

Award Winning Antenatal Education in Lytham, Lancashire

When you’re pregnant, you’re told to just “trust your body”…

But no one really explains how.

You’re told to go with the flow.
To avoid overthinking.
To stay off Google.
To listen to your midwife.

Everyone has a birth story and most of the ones you hear?
They’re either unhelpfully vague or the opposite of how you want your birth to be.

So it’s no surprise that so many first-time mums are left thinking birth is just something to endure.

But here’s the truth: feeling relaxed isn’t the same as winging it.

And when you don’t know what your choices are… you don’t really have any.

This is why real birth prep matters.

What is Hypnobirthing and does Hypnobirthing work?

Hypnobirthing is science and psychology, there’s nothing ‘woo-woo’ about it.

You can feel calm, informed and in-control with Hypnobirthing that actually prepares you

Even if you’re terrified right now. Even if you’ve had a rough experience before. Even if your only current plan is “hope for the best.”

My Group Hypnobirthing & Antenatal Course is where we change that.

It’s not just about breathing techniques and birth affirmations. It’s about knowing your rights, understanding your choices, and learning how to confidently navigate a maternity system that often pushes for speed and convenience over individualised care.

Intervention, induction and caesarean rates are higher than ever before; we are in a maternity crisis (worldwide). It is so important to prepare.

This is the full-picture prep you deserve. The kind of support that makes you say: “Why has no one explained any of this to me before?” (because yep - that’s what I hear from mums every single week.

Birth prep isn’t about controlling the outcome. It’s about feeling safe and support - whatever happens. There’s a BIG difference.

Holly’s Experience with Hypnobirthing as a second time Mum

Supportive, informative, invaluable! We had such a wonderful experience on the full day course. Eleanor provided a calm, safe and relaxing space to explore our options, learn new skills and ask any questions we feel we weren't getting answers to in regular maternity or hospital appointments. She was knowledgeable, patient and understanding.

Both myself and my husband/birth partner came away feeling we now have the tools, information and confidence to have a positive birth experience for our second birth, following a somewhat traumatic birth experience first time round. We really enjoyed meeting all the other expectant parents too! We couldn't recommend Birth With Choice enough!

Who are Group Hypnobirthing Courses for?

You’re a first-time mum who wants to feel calm, but instead feels overwhelmed, confused, and low-key panicked about what’s ahead.

Or perhaps you’ve already got a little one and you want things to be different this time. You might not be enjoying your pregnancy because all you can think about is ‘what ifs’ - I’m here to change that.

You want to feel confident walking into birth, not like you’re going in just hoping for the best.

You want someone who’ll actually tell it to you straight.

Someone who gets the system. Who understands how things really work inside an NHS maternity ward.

Who won’t just talk about birth as “magical and empowering”… but will teach you what to do when it isn’t going to plan.

You want honest, practical tools that actually work, not just sugarcoated ideals that don’t talk about pain and navigating when things feel out of control.

Because of course birth has it's twists and turns, but that doesn’t mean you should feel powerless. You can feel prepared and in-control, no matter how you give birth to your baby.

What you’ll walk away with…

> A complete understanding of your choices (because you have way more than you’ve been told)

> A strategy for navigating your care with confidence and clarity

> Real tools and techniques that help you stay grounded and supported - however birth unfolds

> An unshakeable mindset shift that helps you stop spiralling into “what ifs” and start actually trusting your instincts

> A community of other mums who get it — because doing this alongside people who really understand makes all the difference

You’ll stop second-guessing every appointment.

You’ll stop feeling like you’re “too much” for asking questions.

And you’ll stop being the one who says “I wish I knew this earlier…”

Because now?

You’ll know. You’ll have it all and you’ll be the one walking into birth thinking: Bring. It. On.

Ryan’s Experience with Hypnobirthing as a second time Dad

Eleanor did a seamless job of condensing her vast array of knowledge, tips & insights into a one-day session in a lovely Lytham setting. She created a calm, open environment in which myself (and my wife) felt comfortable, supported and informed throughout.

The relaxed but thoroughly prepared set-up, with a range of activities as well as open discussion with other couples, was effective and we came away feeling much more confident about the impending birth of our second child. Eleanor also sent us away with many tools, resources, and practical ideas that we will continue to implement in the lead-up to the birth.

I couldn't recommend someone more attentive, knowledgeable and calming. You WILL feel better about your birth experience if you work with Eleanor at Birth With Choice!

  • Hypnobirthing can significantly reduce the perception of pain and help you to manage it more effectively. Learning to relax deeply helps to break the fear-tension-pain cycle.

    I don’t avoid talking about pain, but I promise to teach you that it isn’t something to fear, alongside proven tools to make birth as comfortable as possible. There’s so much of birth to embrace, and I’m here to cheer you on at every step!

  • It's best to book your group Hypnobirthing course as early as possible, ideally anytime after your 12-week scan. Most parents attend between 20–34 weeks, giving you plenty of time to practise the techniques before your due date.

    My group Hypnobirthing classes in Lytham fill up quickly, so early booking ensures your place and gives you access to The Birth With Choice Library and my ongoing support.

    If you are over 34 weeks, I offer an Intense Hypnobirthing Course. Please contact me to find out how I can support you within this timeframe.

  • While it’s not essential, having your birth partner attend the Hypnobirthing group course with you is incredibly beneficial. They’ll learn how to support you, advocate for your choices, and stay calm and confident during labour. My group courses are designed to involve birth partners fully.

  • Not at all! Hypnobirthing is for every kind of birth - whether that’s a hospital birth, birth centre, homebirth, induction, or caesarean. In my group Hypnobirthing courses, you’ll learn tools to stay calm and in control, no matter how or where your baby is born.
