HYPNOBIRTHING & ANTENATAL CLASSES IN NOTTINGHAM
GROUP HYPNOBIRTHING COURSE
A doula-led 4 week full comprehensive birth preparation course in Nottingham.
I have worked with many families across Nottingham helping them to prepare for birth feeling informed, confident and prepared.
During the course you will learn evidence based information and lots of practical skills to use during pregnancy, birth and in the fourth trimester. The course covers both antenatal birth topics and hypnobirthing to support every kind of birth.
Classes are taught over 4 weeks; a total of 8 hours split into 4 X 2 hour sessions. Group classes are kept small (maximum of 4 couples per course); this ensures that you can ask as many questions during sessions as you would like to in a comfortable and supported space.
I also include lots of support after the course finishes whether you have a question or need any additional resources, I am here to help!
All classes include refreshments, hot/cold drinks & lots of cake!
My classes are held at the beautiful The Natural Wellness Centre, Derby Rd, Nottingham NG1 5FB in the heart of Nottingham City Centre which is easily accessible by bus, tram, car and walking if you live locally.
The course fee is £265 per couple (one birthing person plus their birth partner). You can can choose to pay in full or a non refundable deposit of £65 to secure your space with the remaining course fee due 2 weeks before the course start date.
Hypnobirthing courses can be combined with my doula support services. I offer a discount off my birth and postnatal packages when booked alongside a group or private Hypnobirthing course. You can find out more about my birth support services here.
If a group class isn’t for you and you would prefer a private course in your home or online I also offer private bespoke classes from full course (everything we cover in a group course) as well as refresher classes for subsequent parents and shorter courses/power hours . You can find out more about my private classes here.

“We’re so glad we did the Hypnobirthing classes with Kerry. We were having our first child and it was such a helpful, insightful course to help prepare us with what was to come. Kerry creates a WhatsApp group for your class so we felt like we could ask questions at any point throughout pregnancy and beyond - our little one is 3 months now and she still checks in and is there if we ever need any advice.
We can’t thank you enough for the support and guidance.
Would highly recommend!”

Hi, I am Kerry
I am a birth and postpartum doula based in Nottingham.
I have had the pleasure of working with many couples across Nottingham supporting them in through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Giving birth to my daughter was the most incredible moment of my life. It wasn’t an easy road but one I truly feel honoured to have experienced and I completely fell in love with birth. Combining my passion of supporting others along with my love of birth led me to become a birth and postpartum doula.
I absolutely love supporting and feel incredibly lucky to be part of someone’s birth journey; whether its helping them to prepare for birth, providing birth or postnatal support or helping them to heal after a traumatic or difficult pregnancy or birth experience.
I truly believe everyone should receive individual continuity of care and support to birth the way you want to birth no matter what.
LOOKING FOR BIRTH OR POSTNATAL SUPPORT?
I offer a range of doula support services across Nottingham including birth and postnatal support (the full wrap around care) and standalone postnatal support for those who would just like support for the postnatal period.
I really care about what your want and I am passionate about supporting you to have the birth and postnatal period that you deserve. I absolutely love supporting others and feel incredibly lucky to be part of someone’s birth or postnatal journey.
I love to support all kinds of birth so whatever birth you are are planning I would love to hear all about it and support you in your journey.
