Looking for Hypnobirthing courses or classes and living in or near Leeds?
I am a hypnobirthing teacher, living in Leeds, near Wakefield, West Yorkshire. I offer group Hypnobirthing courses in a beautiful venue, in Oulton, Leeds and private face to face hypnobirthing courses, for people living in Leeds and the surrounding area. I also offer these courses online, for those living further away. My face to face courses take place in the comfort of your own home and because I live between South Leeds and Wakefield, I am within a very short distance from lots of Yorkshire towns. I can be in North Leeds within 30 minutes and I can be in East and West Leeds within 20 minutes. I can also reach people living in Morley, Tingley, Wakefield, Rothwell, Middleton, Garforth, Pudsey, Whinmoor, Headingley and Wetherby, just to name a few. Basically, anywhere that is close to the M62 or M1. Plus, due to my great location in Wakefield, I can easily access many of the local hospitals. St James's University Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) are only a very short drive away from me. Pinderfields hospital is only a 15 minute drive away. Bradford Royal Infirmary is 30 minutes drive away. Dewsbury and District Hospital is only 15 minutes away and the newly reopened and refurbished Bronte Birth Centre at Dewsbury, has a beautiful environment to give birth in. Other local hospitals and birth centres near to me in West Yorkshire are Barnsley Hospital, which I am 20 minutes away from and Harrogate District Hospital, which is just 40 minutes drive away from me.
Benefits of Hypnobirthing
My Hypnobirthing courses have many benefits and can really help you to feel empowered during your birth, calm, confident and in control. I can take you from feeling anxious about your birth, to excited. You will receive all of the tools and hypnobirthing techniques that you will need, to be able to make your own informed decisions, be able to relax during labour, making your birth feel more comfortable. The advantages of hypnobirthing are that your birth partner will learn how they can support you too. Understand the birth process and learn how to navigate the complicated maternity system. You will receive a beautiful hypnobirthing workbook and MP3 tracks, recorded in my voice. Useful information sheets, free samples, plus positive hypnobirthing affirmation cards, are also included.
Why is birth preparation important?
Preparing for your birth is so important and learning hypnobirthing techniques can help you to have a fear free, positive birth experience. Not only that, but hypnobirthing has amazing positive effects on your baby too, reducing the stress hormones during pregnancy and birth, helping them to have a calm arrival into the world. It is never too late or too early to prepare for birth. I recommend starting a hypnobirthing course from around 20-35 weeks of pregnancy, to get the maximum benefits of the full course. However, if you are expecting your baby very soon, you can still do a course with me and do the essentials course. This is a shorter version of the full hypnobirthing course, but will still give you all the techniques that you'll you need to have a great birthing experience. Alternatively you might want to do my calm caesarean course, if you are planning to have a caesarean section.
My hypnobirthing courses are suitable for everyone, including birth partners and suitable for all births. So, whether you are considered high risk, wanting to have a drug free vaginal birth, instrumental birth, epidural, waterbirth, home birth or caesarean section, hypnobirthing will help you to have a positive experience, however that might look. Hypnobirthing can help you to remove any fears that you might have about birth, using various tools and techniques, to help you to feel excited and positive about your birth.
"We really enjoyed the first Hypnobirthing session the other night and felt so utterly relaxed and calm after it, sleeping really well and I generally feel more positive. I’m surprised how much the positive birth story helped (I was a little bit nervous when it began!)" - Emma & Scott - Leeds parents
As a hypnobirthing teacher and Doula in Leeds, I am very familiar with the Leeds maternity system. I had both of my 2 children at St James's University Hospital (SJUH) and I am also the Co-Chair for Leeds Maternity Voices Partnership. I work closely with the maternity team at Leeds General Infirmary and St James's University Hospital and I have supported many clients who are using Leeds maternity services.
I have supported lots of new and expectant parents in Leeds and the surrounding area. Here is what some of them have to say....
"I was feeling really nervous about my birth before our first session tonight and now I'm feeling really excited."
(R.A. Leeds Mum)
"I was very nervous about pregnancy, birth and also the transition to motherhood and wanted a bit of extra support. Julia was just so lovely and knowledgeable and immediately put us at ease."
(V.A. Harrogate Mum)
