Small Group Hypnobirthing Courses in Otley
Please note that there are no Small Group Hypnobirthing Courses in Otley scheduled until September. If you would like to join a group course before then, please take a look at the Virtual Group Courses.
You’re feeling overwhelmed…
You know what pram you’re getting, what colour you’re painting the nursery and what your baby’s first outfit will be, but you can’t bring yourself to think about labour.
You’re avoiding going out with your biggest friend group because you know you’re going to hear negative birth stories.
You’re overwhelmed by all the choices you’re facing, so you think you’ll leave the decision-making for your birth to the men (and women) in white coats.
You want to write your birth plan, but you don’t know where to start.
You want to look forward to birth, but everything about it feels intimidating and scary.
You are unprepared for the most important event in your life because it’s all too much.
…but it doesn’t have to be this way
Imagine if you could think about labour with excitement.
Imagine if you could focus only on the positive birth stories you heard.
Imagine if you felt confident in every decision you make about your birth.
Imagine if you could feel fully supported in planning your birth.
Imagine if you could look forward to birth with calm, clarity and confidence.

To book fill in the form below.
A £50 deposit is required to secure your place (or you may pay in full up front if you prefer). Upon receiving your booking form, I will issue an invoice. Payment is by bank transfer. Once your deposit has been paid, you will receive your pre-course questionnaire and information.

Frequently asked questions
There are so many hypnobirthing courses out there, why should I choose yours?
All hypnobirthing courses should broadly cover the same content. There are plenty of hypnobirthing practitioners out there for you to choose from. We all fundamentally believe in the power of hypnobirthing and want to help you to have the best birth experience possible. So how do you choose the right person to teach you? Well, in my opinion it comes down to trusting your instincts on who feels like the right fit. Explore websites, talk to people who have taken a course, look at social media, or talk to the practitioner themselves to get a feel for them. To see some reasons why I might be a good fit for you, check out this page.
When should I take the course?
I usually recommend that couples start a course when they are between 20 and 32 weeks pregnant, but you can start earlier. If you start earlier then you will give yourself lots of time to practice the techniques and listen to the hypnosis tracks.
If you are over 32 weeks, then take a look at my private hypnobirthing courses that you can do in the comfort of your own home as these can be completed more quickly at mutually convenient times.
What if I miss a class?
You will not receive a refund for any missed classes, except in exceptional circumstances (for example if your baby is born early). If you miss a class there are two possible options:
1. If there is space on the next course, you may attend the class you missed at no extra charge. This will only be confirmed 2 calendar days before the course start date.
2. If there is no space on the next course, you can use the handouts given to you to study has much as possible at home or you can pay for a 1-2-1 power hour session with me during which we can go over the content that you have missed. The cost of this session is £50.
Location
All group hypnobirthing courses take place in central Otley at the Labour Rooms on Nelson Street. There is a free car park opposite the venue.
Testimonials
What my clients say
Thank you for the course Anastasia, really enjoyed each session and definitely feeling more relaxed and prepared (even slightly excited!) for labour and birth.
IZZY
This has really helped me to understand what to expect and different techniques and ways I can help Izzy during labour. The materials provided are also incredibly helpful to refer back to and use. Thanks for the course, really enjoyable and informative.
