Private Hypnobirthing + Antenatal in Lytham & Online
Support from one of the UK’s most sought after Birth Educators.
Trusted by hundreds of families and recommended by NHS Midwives.
You’ve been told to just “go with the flow”…
and already you’re like “yeah that’s a red flag.”
You’ve been told to to just relax.
To not overthink it.
To stay off Google.
To listen to your midwife.
Advice like that sounds simple, but when you’re the one carrying the baby? The stakes are seriously high and it doesn’t feel simple at all.
Most of the birth stories you’ve heard either gloss over the details or leave you thinking, “I hope that doesn’t happen to me.”
No wonder so many first-time mums believe birth is just something to get through.
But here’s the thing: being prepared isn’t the same as crossing your fingers and hoping for the best, and I know you know that already.
Because when you don’t know what your real options are… you’re left without any.
That’s why, in private sessions, we go deeper than standard birth education.
It’s not just “birth prep.”
It’s your prep, with everything completely centred around you.
A Group Course just isn’t your vibe
How about, learning about your birth from your own sofa, in your comfies, with your favourite mug?
No sitting in a room full of people.
No wondering if your question is “silly”.
No comparing your plans to anyone else’s.
Just space to actually understand what’s happening.
We’ll spend more time on the parts that matter most to you and prepare for all birth outcomes with you at the centre of each.
You’ll feel like your questions, your fears and your choices are finally being heard.
Unlike other birth prep, this isn’t just about breathing techniques and birth positions. It’s about you knowing your rights, understanding your choices, and learning how to confidently navigate a maternity system that often pushes for speed and convenience over your individualised care.
Your private birth prep isn’t about controlling the outcome. It’s about feeling safe and supported - whatever happens. There’s a BIG difference.
You know that your birth is too important to leave to chance…
You’re a first-time mum who wants to feel calm, but instead feels overwhelmed, confused, and low-key panicked about what’s ahead.
Or perhaps you’ve already got a little one and you want things to be different this time. You’re dreading the idea of having a birth like that again.
You want to feel stronger than ever walking into birth, not like you’re going in just hoping for the best.
You want someone who’ll actually tell it to you straight.
Someone who gets the system. Who understands how things really work inside an NHS maternity ward.
Who won’t just talk about birth as “magical and empowering”… but will teach you what to do when it isn’t going to plan.
You want honest, practical tools that actually work, not just sugarcoated ideals that don’t talk about pain and navigating when things feel out of control.
Because of course birth has it's twists and turns, but that doesn’t mean you should feel powerless. You can feel prepared and in-control, no matter how you give birth to your baby.
Trusted by hundreds of families and recommended by NHS Midwives
What you’ll walk away with…
• Birth prep that’s completely tailored to you — whether you’re planning a home birth, a VBAC or a caesarean birth.
• A calm, confident mindset that swaps fear for trust (with tools you can actually use when it matters most).
• A clear understanding of how birth works - from hormones to biomechanics - so you feel in tune with your body, not at war with it.
• Practical pain-management strategies you can actually use in the moment - from breathing to massage to medical options - all explained without jargon.
• The inside scoop on navigating the maternity system, so you can advocate for yourself and make informed decisions (even if things don’t go to plan).
• A birth plan that’s flexible but still yours - and the confidence to communicate it clearly.
• A fully prepped birth partner who knows exactly how to support you (without hovering, panicking, or feeling useless).
• Gentle guidance for those early postpartum days, because your wellbeing doesn’t stop once baby arrives.
• All taught privately - from your comfy sofa or online.
Every private course looks different, because it is entirely based on you.
Hey, I’m Eleanor
Mum of two (four pregnancies), Doula and living by the coast up north.
After my daughter’s birth, I decided I was done staying quiet.
So I started Birth With Choice.
Since 2024, I’ve supported hundreds of families across three continents—working alongside midwives, birth experts and businesses to make informed, confident birth the norm, not the exception.
I’ve supported first-time mums, mums after trauma, IVF mums, pregnancies after loss—and the partners walking it all with them.
I don’t believe in vague birth prep.
I believe in informed confidence.
I used to think knowledge would make birth feel scarier… turns out, it makes you steadier. Stronger.
Becoming a mum made me braver.
Clearer.
Less willing to shrink.
I became the strongest version of myself when I decided to not be steamrolled in my maternity care.
That’s what I want for you.
Not just “birth prep.”
But walking into this season feeling steady.
Informed.
Confident.
Done with nodding along.
If you’re pregnant and you want to feel like the strongest version of yourself before your baby even arrives…
You’re in the right place.
It’s your turn to get the support you truly deserve
Birth With Choice gives parents the kind of support that makes you say: “Why has no one explained any of this to me before?” (because yep - that’s what I hear from mums every single week).
-
This isn’t a ‘do a course off you go’ situation; from now on, I’m just as invested in your birth prep as you are.
Videocall consultation - so you can ask questions, speak openly and share what matters most to you.
3 × 3 hours of private birth prep - so you’re walking into your birth the most informed and powerful version of yourself.
Instant access to the Birth With Choice Library, so when your brain starts spiralling, you’ve got resources you can trust in one place.
A Hypnobirthing workbook - everything you need in one place, so you’re not jumping between notes, apps and screenshots trying to piece things together.
A luxury pregnancy gift bag - Aura Orbs, handpicked Affirmation Cards, Aromatherapy and other little touches.
Ongoing support for the duration of your pregnancy - so when something comes up, you’re not second guessing, you’ve got someone you can trust.

Doula Support Lancashire
When you have someone by your side who knows exactly what each stage of labour looks like, and can lean in and quietly say “this is completely normal, you’re doing brilliantly”…
then the moment you think I can’t do this anymore is usually the moment you realise you’re more powerful than you ever knew.
