Open Antenatal

Ignore the name, when we break it down our approach to hypnobirthing is ultimately all about getting informed and building confidence so you can feel empowered in your decision-making. Together we explore reframing mindset, bodyful connection, and relaxation techniques which you can use throughout pregnancy and postpartum.

The more time you have to practice tools and techniques the better, so people usually join anywhere from 12 weeks onward. But, don’t worry if you’re joining later in your pregnancy hypnobirthing and antenatal education can always have an impact.

swole approaches birth and postpartum preparation with person-centred care and a deep understanding of how we each come to life transitions with a spectrum of experience, beliefs and barriers.

Unlike many other courses my approach is intersectional, expansive, and centres autonomy whilst exploring relational transition.

Ultimately, we’re a space where we welcome different experiences, the messy thoughts, and the questions that you’re nervous to ask in other more normative spaces.

Our approach is for all bodies, all births and all birth environments. We’ll discuss options for different birth pathways and what’s available to you in each birth environment. Everyone can benefit from this course!

If you have a birth partner(s) we recommend them coming along to the sessions so they can also enter the birth space feeling informed, confident and excited to support in the way you need.

i invite up to 8 birthing people and their birthing partner(s) to each course. This means it’s a big enough group to build community but small enough so there’s space for individuals to ask questions and connect.

When you join you’ll also have access to our wider 200+ people Whatsapp community!

Select which course pathway you’re looking to join - in person, online or private. Then once you’ve paid your first split payment or the full fee you’re booked onto the course. Feel free to email if you have any questions along the way.

Yes, our course covers all birth environments and explores considerations for induction and caearean pathways.

Our course is designed by and for LGBTQIA+ folk so even if you cover some of the birth preparation bits on your other course, we’re going to be able to talk to some of the stuff that is specific to lived-experience and create a learning environment that doesn’t make assumptions about your growing family.

We think the important bits (like advocacy, emotional, changes in relationships and after care) are so often missed in those big courses!

This course works as a great stand alone opportunity to build your own personal toolkit for this big life transition, and as a rad addition to any of those (a little drab) courses.

Yes! During these thresholds in life we want to gather as much support as we can. You’re more than welcome to come along and learn with us !

If you’re super busy or struggling to find a course that fits your schedule i also offer 1-1 or small private group courses - if you’re interested in booking reach out via the private booking form.

The space is located at Peckham Levels, accessible by lift or stairs. There are accessible bathrooms and there are food vendors available for grabbing lunch/snacks during the day.

There’s more info on the space here - but drop us a message if you have any other questions at all.

Once you checkout you’ll be taken to a little intake form. Then in the lead up to the day we’ll drop you a few emails with more information on what to expect. Make sure to check your spam as sometimes our first emails land there, and drop us a message if you have any questions at all.
