Why Blackburn Parents Travel to Lytham for Hypnobirthing
Many expectant parents from Blackburn, Lancaster, Preston and surrounding areas choose to travel a little further to attend a Birth With Choice course; they want more than a standard antenatal class.
“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!”
