Hypnobirthing & Antenatal Course Preston
Award Winning Antenatal Education in Lancashire
Trusted by hundreds of families and recommended by NHS Midwives
Looking for antenatal classes near Preston?
You're picturing it already, aren't you? Walking into Royal Preston Hospital — or your own front room, Preston Birth Centre or even Chorley Birth Centre — and feeling calm instead of braced for the worst. Knowing exactly what your choices are, instead of hoping someone explains them in time.
That's the difference real birth prep makes.
Birth experiences in Preston and across Lancashire aren't generic — they're shaped by your local maternity service, your community, the support around you. So your prep shouldn't be generic either.
Hey, I’m Eleanor
I'm a certified doula, birth trauma practitioner and the founder of Birth With Choice, and I work with families right across Lancashire — Preston, Penwortham, Chorley, Blackpool, and beyond.
I’m also the creator of the UK’s only weekly birth prep course from 12-42+ weeks of pregnancy (Birth With You). My unique approach to birth prep is causing quite a stir, recently being interviewed by ITV News for the impact I’m having locally and globally.
I don't teach generic relaxation techniques and send you on your way hoping for the best.
I prepare you for the actual system you're giving birth in.
The NHS appointments. The language that's designed to be efficient rather than clear. The decisions you'll be asked to make on the spot when you're half dressed and slightly anxious and nobody has explained what's actually being asked of you.
That's why I'm recommended by My Pocket Midwife®, My Independent Midwife, HotTea Mama and Yuula®.
Whether you're heading into Royal Preston Hospital, Preston Birth Centre, Chorley Birth Centre, or staying home, I'll help you walk in knowing your rights, understanding your options, and trusting yourself — whatever your birth brings.
Not "stay calm and hope." Actual tools. Actual confidence.
Worth the drive
My group course takes place in Lytham — just under 30 minutes from Preston, easy parking, easy A583 drive. Parents travel much further than that for a day that changes how they feel about birth completely, and Preston mums/dads are a regular part of every group I run. I’ll be honest I regularly have parents travelling up to 3 hours to join me in person, but I’m right on your doorstep!
You'll leave with a full understanding of your choices, a strategy for navigating your care with confidence, tools that keep you grounded whatever unfolds, and a community of other parents who get it.
You'll stop second-guessing every appointment. You'll stop feeling like you're "too much" for asking questions.
You'll walk into birth thinking: Bring. It. On.
I’ve supported hundreds of families to have positive birth experiences and my unique approach to birth preparation is recommended by leading midwives across the UK
