You may not know this but birth experiences in Preston and across Lancashire are unique, shaped by local maternity services, community, and support networks.

Understanding these local differences and preparing for birth with this in mind can truly transform how you experience labour and welcome your baby.

I’m Eleanor, founder of Birth With Choice, and I regularly work with families across Lancashire — from Preston and Penwortham to Chorley, Blackpool, and beyond.

Whether it’s at Royal Preston Hospital, Preston Birth Centre, Chorley Birth Centre, or at home, I support parents through their individual birth journeys, helping them feel confident, informed, and calm every step of the way.

Why Preston Parents Travel to Lytham for Hypnobirthing

Many expectant parents from Preston, Penwortham, Fulwood and surrounding areas choose to travel a little further to attend a Birth With Choice course; they want more than a standard antenatal class.

‘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 😊’
