Why Lancaster Parents Travel to Lytham for Hypnobirthing
Many expectant parents from Lancaster, Kendal, 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.
“As a birthing partner supporting my wife for our second child, this course helped me reflect on my wife's first time in labour and how I can support and advocate for her the second time around. This course was a great space for us to think about her birth preferences and has taught me that we have much more choice / options than I thought! Thank you Elle”
“As a second time mum who had a difficult experience first time around, I found this full day course to be invaluable in adjusting my mindset heading into labour for the second time. Elle created a relaxing calm space for us to really think about our birth choices and provided non bias, knowledgable content throughout the day (this was broken up by lots of rest breaks, relaxing exercises and delicious sweet treats!) if you're nervous about birth and looking for a more positive and empowering approach, I would 100% recommend hypnobirthing with Elle!”
