Looking for Antenatal Classes in Manchester?
You may not know this, but birth experiences in Manchester and across Greater Manchester are shaped by something unique, the mix of local maternity services, community culture, and the support networks around you.
Preparing with that in mind can make all the difference to how you experience labour and welcome your baby.
I’m Eleanor, founder of Birth With Choice, and I regularly work with families across the city - from Chorlton to Didsbury, Salford to Stockport, and beyond.
Whether it’s at St Mary’s, Wythenshawe, North Manchester General, or at home, I support parents through their individual birth journeys, helping them feel confident, informed, and calm every step of the way.
While my private courses take place in peaceful Lytham, I proudly support parents from all over Manchester, tailoring antenatal education and hypnobirthing to local maternity options, birth settings, and your personal hopes and concerns.

Why Manchester Parents Travel to Lytham for Hypnobirthing
So many expectant parents from Chorlton, Didsbury, Salford, Stockport, and across Greater Manchester choose Birth With Choice because they want more than a standard antenatal class. They want support that’s personal, practical, and empowering.
We loved the Hypnobirthing course!! This is my first baby and I really wanted to educate myself on all things childbirth and ensure I can navigate the NHS maternity system with ease and empower myself. This course did exactly that for me. Everyone thinks it all about breath work and refusing pain relief, but it’s so much more than that!!! Both me and my partner had negative perceptions and now with Eleanor’s course we can work on our positive mindset. Highly recommend! A well worth investment into your health and baby.
*Updated review after having baby 👶🏼
Throughout it all, Eleanor was a constant, grounding presence. I regularly sent her voice notes, and she was always there to remind me of my strength, intuition, and power as a mum. Our baby finally made his arrival at 42+5 - labour came on strong, and I arrived at hospital already 7cm dilated.
Thank you, Eleanor, for being such a vital part of our journey - your support helped me hold firm in what I knew was right for me and my baby. I’ll always be grateful.
