Hypnobirthing Courses
on the Fylde Coast & Online
Welcome to a new way of thinking about your birth.
Birth With Choice Hypnobirthing is all about taking control of your birth and equipping yourself with the tools, knowledge, and mindset to make it a positive experience —no matter how your birth unfolds.
My Hypnobirthing courses are designed to guide you through pregnancy and birth with confidence.
My clients often say: “Why has no one explained ANY of this to me!?”
The truth is, you don’t know what you haven’t been told and often your midwife simply doesn’t have the time to share everything.
You deserve to have the full picture, to understand all your choices and to feel confident navigating a maternity system which has high rates of induction, intervention and caesarean births.
With an approach that is honest, compassionate, and realistic, I won’t shy away from discussing pain. Instead, I’ll help you embrace your inner strength and face the challenges of birth with confidence in both your body and your choices.
Whether you're a first-time parent or seeking a different approach after previous births, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Four Pillars for a Calm, Confident Birth
At Birth With Choice, we take a different approach. Your body was made to give birth, and I’m here to help you unlock that inner strength, ask the right questions, and make informed choices that feel right for YOU. How you feel about your birth really matters and it all starts with how you prepare.
We focus on four key pillars to guide you through pregnancy, birth, and beyond, offering empowering, evidence-based education, genuine support, and compassion. I’ll give you the answers your midwife may not always have time to explore and walk you through all your options, so you can make choices that truly align with what is best for you and your baby.
Choice
Because this is your birth and your choices matter.
We’re big on informed decision-making. Only when you have the full picture and know all of your options can you make an informed decision about your pregnancy and birth. So whether you’re having a home birth, a hospital birth or caesarean birth, you’ll know that you made the right choices for you and your baby.
Communication
No more nodding along and hoping for the best.
We’ll give you the tools to ask the right questions, speak up confidently, and make sure your voice is heard. It’s all well and good knowing your choices, but if you can’t communicate them effectively, what’s the point? I understand that it’s not always easy to ask questions when you’re faced with a midwife or a consultant, but I’ll teach you what to ask and how to phrase it, in a calm, confident and curious way.
Connection
To your body. To your birth team. To your baby.
When you understand the physiology of birth, it’s a lot easier to release fear and trust your body. Because your body really does know what to do. Together, with your birth partner, you’ll learn how to come together as the ultimate birth team, so that you both feel informed and in-control, no matter how your birth unfolds. You, your birth partner and your baby, all working together.
Calm
Your beliefs about birth are your expectations.
If you believe birth is dangerous, that’s how your body will respond during labour. With practical hypnobirthing relaxation and mindset tools, you’ll learn how to work with your body, not against it. It’s not about pretending birth isn’t painful, it’s about knowing how to quieten your mind so that your body can birth your baby more calmly and effectively.
Which Hypnobirthing Course is right for you?
I offer several flexible options to suit your individual needs and schedule. Each course is tailored to ensure you feel supported, whether it’s your first or your fifth baby.
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.

Who are Hypnobirthing Courses for?
Everyone! Hypnobirthing is for all birth preferences. If you’re thinking, ‘I don’t think I’d fit in at a hypnobirthing class’, or ‘I’m not that kind of person’, I get it! Hypnobirthing is commonly misunderstood as being a bit ‘alternative’ or 'hippy’, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
You may be first time parents, feeling unsure about what to expect but eager to give yourselves and your baby the best possible birth experience.
Perhaps you’ve experienced a previous traumatic birth and are understandably anxious or fearful about what lies ahead.
You may be navigating the emotional journey of pregnancy after loss. I am here to support you with empathy and care.
Maybe you’ve completed an NCT course but don’t feel mentally or emotionally prepared for the birth itself.
You could be expecting multiples, preparing for a VBAC (vaginal birth after a caesarean), or embarking on a surrogacy journey.
Birth With Choice is an inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly space. Every birth experience is unique and I am committed to supporting individuals and families of all identities and backgrounds. I work closely with my clients, creating an inclusive, welcoming space, where everyone can feel respected, valued and empowered.
How will Hypnobirthing make you feel?
No matter how you birth your baby, how you feel about your birth experience truly matters. You’re only going to give birth to your baby once, but it’s a moment you will remember for the rest of your life.
Hypnobirthing will leave you feeling empowered, excited and fully in control of your birth.
At Birth with Choice, my mission is to help you feel informed, empowered, and truly connected throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. I believe these moments—no matter how big or small—deserve to be remembered and celebrated.
