Private Hypnobirthing & Antenatal Classes in the North East and Online
Because every birth is unique and your birth prep can be too
Looking for birth prep that’s completely focused on you?
Group classes are great - but sometimes, you need space to talk things through one-on-one, with someone who really gets it.
My private hypnobirthing courses offer personalised, 1:1 support to help you feel calm, clear and ready for your unique journey.
Why I created my Private Hypnobirthing Courses?
I know what it’s like to feel nervous, overwhelmed, and unsure if you’ll ever feel truly ready for birth.
After a difficult first experience, I realised it wasn’t more information I needed. It was support that felt personal.
Someone who could help me make sense of my thoughts, calm the spiralling and help me feel safe heading into birth.
That’s exactly what I offer now - gentle, tailored sessions that meet you where you are emotionally, mentally and practically.
And this kind of support isn’t just for people with a difficult first time. Whether you're preparing for your first baby or your fifth, feeling anxious or simply looking for a more personal approach, this is birth prep built around you.

“We had a fantastic time learning all things hypnobirthing with Holly. We really felt heard and supported throughout our sessions. We were really unsure about our birth preferences initially but with Holly’s support we feel that being guided through the relevant information we were able to make the right decision for us. We now feel in control, ready and excited! Thanks Holly”

What You Might Be Feeling Right Now
If you’re here, I’m guessing at least a few of these sound familiar:
You’ve read the books and been to appointments, but still feel unsure about what to expect—or how you’ll actually cope
You don’t always feel fully supported, or like there’s time to really talk through your fears with your midwife
You keep wondering, “What if I can’t manage it? What if I lose control?”
Your brain is buzzing with “what ifs,” but you don’t have anywhere to offload them
Your partner wants to help but doesn’t know where to start
You just want someone to walk through it all with you, not talk at you
That’s exactly where private hypnobirthing comes in.
This is about creating a calm, confident headspace - your way.
It’s personalised support that helps you feel informed, emotionally steady and actually ready to meet your baby.
What To Expect
In my Private Hypnobirthing Sessions, we work together across four relaxed sessions (2–2.5 hours each), either online or in your home.
Before we begin, we’ll have a call to chat through what’s going on for you and shape the course around what you need most.
Sessions are booked around your schedule and I’m still here for check-ins or support between and after sessions if you need it.
You’ll get:
Hypnobirthing tools tailored to how you think and feel
Full antenatal education so you understand how birth works
Support to navigate the system, ask questions, and make informed decisions
Space to talk through any worries or past experiences
Partner prep that’s practical and non-cringey
A flexible birth plan that reflects your values
Tools to reduce anxiety, feel more in control, and trust your instincts
Because when you understand your body, your options and how to stay calm and in control - birth feels a lot less overwhelming and a lot more doable.

A full Hypnobirthing Kit to support your practice at home
Access to my online client hub with bonus workshops and helpful resources
Exclusive local discounts, including 20% off a family photoshoot with Sophie Dunleavy Photography

The group course is a great way to meet other parents who are on the same journey as you. Plus, we keep it fun, relaxed and interactive.
Private sessions are more tailored if you prefer 1:1 support, have specific needs, or require sessions to be held at times to suit you.
-
We usually split the sessions into four, each lasting 2 to 2.5 hours, as this tends to work best.
However, it’s completely up to you – we can arrange sessions at times that suit you and if you’d prefer longer sessions, we can definitely do that too.

If you're in the North East, we can arrange in-person sessions. If you're further afield, no worries – we can easily set up online sessions instead.
