Virtual Private Hypnobirthing Courses
Bespoke one-to-one hypnobirthing courses delivered entirely online
Two bespoke courses to choose from depending on your circumstances and needs:
Do you…
…love the sound of the She Bears Signature Hypnobirthing Course but…
…you would prefer a private, bespoke experience
…you live too far away from Otley to attend a course in person
…you would rather do a course from the comfort of your bed
…your birth partner doesn’t live with you and so a virtual course would work better for you
The Virtual Private Signature Hypnobirthing Course is the perfect solution.
Or perhaps you…
…did a hypnobirthing course for a previous birth and are just looking for a refresher
…are too near the end of your pregnancy to fit a full course in
…or there’s only a few parts of the Signature Course that appeal to you
The Bespoke Mini Hypnobirthing Course will hit the spot.
Fit your birth preparation perfectly around your life
You want to feel prepared for birth but your life is busy. When you book a Virtual Private Hypnobirthing Course you can suggest the days and times that work for you and we can fit the course around your existing commitments. Whether that means completing it over a single day, or over 2, 3, or 4 or more sessions, the choice is yours. A Virtual Private Course can be adapted to your needs and requirements.
What my clients are saying
“What a thorough, held, thoughtful space you created for me and my birthing partner. I learnt such an enormous amount, and while of course pregnancy and the prospect of giving birth is daunting, you put us at our ease, with humour, gentleness, empathy and a bespoke kindness. You’ve extended a sense of kinship I hadn’t foreseen, going over and above what I had imagined the shape of the course would take. Thank you for accommodating us too, out of hours, one-to-one, which was just what we needed. The pack you provided was highly informative and a taste of the wisdom you conveyed during the sessions. It is super useful to have the booklets to refer to up to birth and beyond. You’ve equipped us with calm, confidence and happiness, for which we’ll be forever grateful.”
Outcomes
Whether you choose the Signature course or the Mini course, when we have finished working together, you will look forward to birth with calm, clarity and confidence.

What will you learn?
The Signature Hypnobirthing Course is built around the three pillars of Mind, Body and Place. If there are areas not listed below that you are particularly concerned about or want to cover, let me know and I will integrate it into your course. If you are taking the Mini Course, we will discuss in advance what you would like to cover to make sure that the course meets your expectations and needs.
Mind
- Hypnosis – myth-busting, the science of hypnosis, how intended hypnosis works
- The subconscious – how the subconscious functions and how it affects us
- The subconscious and birth – why we feel a certain way about birth, how we can use hypnosis to change how we feel about birth
- Affirmations – the science behind affirmations, how affirmations affect your subconscious
Body
- The autonomic nervous system – the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and the effects they have on our bodies, and on labour
- Labour hormones – the functions of the main labour hormones, ways to optimise the production of these hormones
- The physiology of labour and birth – the physical processes of labour, what’s happening to your body and hormones, the stages of labour and how the birth partner can support labour at every stage
Place
- History of childbirth – how the history of birth provides context to how we birth today
- Interventions – what interventions are, how they affect the physiology of birth, the cascade of interventions
- Risk – what risk is, how risk may be presented
- Making decisions – a framework for making decisions around your care and any interventions that are offered to you
- The birth environment – optimising your birth environment
- Birth partners – the role of the birth partner, how they can support the mother during labour
Why do a private hypnobirthing course?
Freedom
Perhaps you can’t make the dates of a group hypnobirthing course.
Maybe you are too close to your estimated due date and want an intensive one day course.
Or you simply love the idea of not having to leave your home.
A private hypnobirthing course gives you the freedom to fit the course around your life.
Depth
Because there’s only you, your birth partner and me, we are able to dive into the areas you are most interested in or concerned about in more depth.
There is more opportunity for you to have all of your questions answered (and there are no stupid questions!).
Tailored
A private hypnobirthing course can be tailored to your needs. Perhaps there is a topic that is not part of my group course that you want to learn about and discuss. A private course is the ideal way to do this.
If you are worried about a particular aspect of birth, I can tailor the course to focus in on this and even tailor the hypnosis tracks to specifc anxieties that you may have.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the dates and times I want?
We will work together to find mutually compatible dates and times for your course. Depending on your situation and preferences, the course can be completed as an intensive one day course, two half days, or three to four shorter sessions.
When during pregnancy 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.
Why is the Signature private course shorter in length than the Signature group course?
Both the private course and the group course cover the same content. The reason I advertise the private course as being slightly shorter is because sometimes it takes less time to deliver it one-to-one compared to a small group of people. Additionally, when we do the course virtually, I can’t so easily demonstrate some of the practical exercises with you, so I have video resources for this which also often take less time. The overall course length is variable and ultimately depends on you. If you don’t have any questions as we go along then it will take less time than if you have lots of questions to ask. I always cater for at least 8 hours of time with you (for example, 4x 2 hour sessions, with a contingency in case they run over) to ensure that I have plenty of time to discuss all of your concerns and questions in depth.

Anastasia has helped me feel mentally prepared for the birth of our daughter. I listen to her recorded tracks often to practice the relaxation techniques.
