Welcome to New Moon Baby! We understand the worry and stress that comes with thinking about your baby's birth. Imagine feeling fully prepared and excited for labour and birth. We can help you get there.
As your pregnancy progresses, midwife antenatal appointments might leave you feeling nervous and full of questions. Midwives are amazing experts, but their time is often stretched thin, leaving little room for in-depth discussions on crucial decisions for you and your baby. Many mums I’ve worked with expected to learn much more from their appointments than they did. The truth is you need to gather this information yourself. The key is ensuring it’s evidence based.
Gathering information from multiple sources can be overwhelming. We simplify this process by bringing everything together for you. Sometimes, there are even crucial details you didn’t know you needed to know!
At New Moon Baby, we proudly use the Katharine Graves Hypnobirthing framework. It’s tried and tested, helping women worldwide. We personalise our Hypnobirthing course to meet your needs, ensuring you get the most out of it. You can also choose pregnancy wellness topics to cover, making the most of your pregnancy.
​
With my background in psychology and neuroscience, I demystify how Hypnobirthing works. Understanding the how and why behind these Hypnobirthing techniques, can empower you, making the process more effective and meaningful. Investing in this knowledge is investing in one of the most important times of your life.
After completing our private Hypnobirthing course, you'll feel empowered and prepared. You’ll have all the information you need to make the right decisions for you and your baby. You’ll learn effective Hypnobirthing techniques for deep relaxation, helping you through pregnancy, labour, birth, and beyond.

FAQ's
​
When should I start Hypnobirthing?
​
We suggest beginning Hypnobirthing anytime from 20 weeks into your pregnancy. The more you practice, the more successful your experience will be, so once you've decided to try Hypnobirthing, go ahead and book your sessions. However, don't worry if you're further along than 20 weeks—Hypnobirthing can still be highly effective even if you start later in your pregnancy. It is never too late in pregnancy to start.
Does my partner have to attend?
It would be wonderful if your partner could join, even for some sessions, but it's not essential. Every course includes a printed parents handbook, so your partner can still be involved. Practice is key, and your partner can practice with you at home. Even if they can't attend the course, we encourage you to share what you've learned. They play an important role during the birth, and understanding the process will benefit everyone.
What is the 'Hypno' part of Hypnobirthing?
​
The 'Hypno' in Hypnobirthing refers to the use of hypnosis techniques to help you achieve a state of deep relaxation and focus during childbirth. This involves guided imagery, visualisations, and positive affirmations to calm your mind and body. By practicing these techniques, you can reduce stress and fear, which helps create a more comfortable and positive birthing experience. Hypnobirthing empowers you to trust your body's natural ability to give birth, enhancing your overall well-being and confidence.
Can I use Hypnobirthing in the hospital?
​
Absolutely! Hypnobirthing can be used in any birth setting. You'll learn deep relaxation techniques that work wherever you are. This course is a comprehensive antenatal program, so you'll gain a thorough understanding of the labour and birth process. It also guides you on navigating the NHS system, discussing your rights and decisions. There are many ways this course can enhance your labour and birth experience, and you'll learn how to make this happen in any setting. We'll cover all birth settings during the course.
What if I need a Caesarean section?
​
This course is all about empowering you to make the best decisions for yourself. There are many practical and positive techniques you can apply to a caesarean section to enhance the experience for you, your partner, and your baby. If a caesarean is unplanned, you'll have all the important information you need to be prepared for any unexpected situations.
Can I still have pain relief if I am doing Hypnobirthing?
​
Absolutely! You have the choice to do what feels right for you. While practicing Hypnobirthing may reduce your need for pain relief, there's no reason to feel bad if you choose to use it. At New Moon Baby, we aim to provide you with the best knowledge and tools to help make your birth experience positive.
