Private Hypnobirthing on the Fylde Coast & Online
Award Winning Antenatal Education on Fylde Coast
What will I learn on a Private Hypnobirthing Course?
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you’re planning a home birth on the Fylde Coast or preparing for a hospital birth online from miles away, your private sessions are shaped entirely around your preferences, questions, and needs. A Private Hypnobirthing Course is the Ultimate Birth Preparation.
Ditch the fear, reclaim the power.
We’ll explore how fear can affect birth (and why it matters), while equipping you with calming, confidence-boosting tools to help your body do what it’s designed to do.
If you’ve had a previously traumatic birth experience, I can support you with a guided 3-step-rewind relaxation to help you let go of those difficult emotions.
What to expect (for real) when you’re in labour.
We’ll walk through the science of birth, from hormones to stages to how your body’s designed to open and release. You’ll also get practical, easy-to-understand insight into biomechanics and positions that help baby move down and out more smoothly. *Many midwives are yet to be trained in Biomechanics, which is exactly why we give you the knowledge you deserve.
Feel prepared to manage pain, your way.
From breathing techniques and massage to visualisations and affirmations, you’ll learn practical, adaptable ways to stay calm — plus get the full lowdown on all your pain relief options (both natural and medical).
Navigate the maternity system with clarity.
We’ll cover how to advocate for yourself, what to expect in hospital settings, and how to make informed choices about interventions — so you feel confident, even if plans shift.
Create a birth plan that actually works for you.
You’ll walk away knowing what’s important to you, how to communicate it, and how to build flexibility into your preferences without losing your voice.
Bring your birth partner in, properly.
They’ll be prepped with practical tools and mindset support so they can show up calm, connected, and genuinely helpful (not hovering, flapping, or clueless).
Think beyond the birth.
We’ll gently guide you into postpartum planning too — because your emotional, mental and physical wellbeing in those early days matters just as much.
And the best part? This is all delivered privately, either face-to-face on the Fylde Coast, or online from the comfort of your home - so you’re supported, wherever you are. If you’re in a different time-zone, we can make it work. I’ve been training for this since I had two under two!
Michelle’s experience at Birth With Choice as a first-time-mum
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.

How it feels to be ‘incredibly prepared’ for birth
Holly was unbelievably strong yesterday - her mental and physical preparation for birth was absolutely critical to ensure she felt ready for it. We listened to your audios on the drive to the hospital - it was soothing for both of us, but especially Holly as she struggled to come to terms with such sudden increases in contractions & back pain.
She definitely thought about your messaging whilst she breathed down, through her body, as she contracted in the final stages of labour. It also helped me to say the right, positive words, and avoid unconsciously stressful comments at the wrong times. I think Holly's confidence with herself is at an all-time high. She is mentally stronger & she has made some lovely friends, including yourself, and now others too at Bump & Brew.
Reflecting on the events of the last 48 hours, it is just totally clear how incredibly prepared we were for this birth, and Holly was just this empowered version of herself. She was so in tune with her body and her mind. It was amazing to be a part of.
A bespoke Hypnobirthing Course is 10 hours, split into four 2.5-hour sessions or three longer sessions.
A phone consultation before your first session will allow me to get to know you better and tailor the course to your unique needs and situation. A private Hypnobirthing course runs over three or four relaxed weekday evenings, from 6.30PM.
Spaces are limited for both Bestie and Private clients, so early booking is recommended.
Classes are held at the beautiful Pregnancy Emporium in Ansdell—just 5 minutes from both Lytham and St Annes:

Lizzie’s experience of Hypnobirthing after a previously difficult birth
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 😊
When should I do a Hypnobirthing course?
My courses are suitable from 20 weeks pregnant onwards. This gives you plenty of time to practise the tools and techniques and really build your confidence.
What if I’m due sooner?
Don’t worry! Even if you’re due the following month, you’ll still gain so much from the course and I’d love to support you. It’s never too early or too late to prepare for a positive birth experience.
Spaces fill up quickly, so early booking is recommended to avoid missing out.
Am I too late in my Pregnancy to do a Hypnobirthing course?
Alternatively, I offer an Intensive Hypnobirthing Course which is 4 hours (delivered over one session) and is suitable for those who have found Hypnobirthing later on in their pregnancy.
This focuses on the essentials and will help you to feel as prepared as possible in a shorter time frame. This does not cover everything I would love to teach you and I would always recommend a full Hypnobirthing course, if you have the time.
Your investment in an intensive Hypnobirthing course is £200 for both you and your birth partner. Available online or in person. Simply select Intensive Course when booking and I’ll handle the rest.
