The Complete Birth Preparation Course
(in Bristol & online)

This course is a comprehensive blend of antenatal education and Hypnobirthing. It has been designed to give you the in-depth knowledge and confidence you need to plan, make informed choices, and understand your body before, during, and after birth.
Alongside highly informative content - taking a deeper dive into birthing physiology, the maternity system, and your options than most antenatal courses - it also includes all the tools and techniques from the popular Hypnobirthing Power Course. These cover birth mindset, breathing, visualisation, deep relaxation, and self-hypnosis techniques, which are key to creating a calmer, more comfortable birth experience.
Due to the recent relocation of the Poppy & Jack HQ, this course is currently only available in a private format while we source a new suitable venue for groups. If you’d like to book a group course, the Hypnobirthing Power Workshop continues to run on regular dates at Trika Yoga.
"This course is a must do for any expecting parents. From the first session it changed our mindset and we are now looking forward to our birth!
It has helped us in day to day life and the techniques can be used in any circumstances.
Charlotte was a great teacher and we couldn’t recommend her enough."
