Real Birth: Evidence-based antenatal & hypnobirthing education — for a calm, confident birth, your way

What is Real Birth?

A comprehensive, partner-inclusive course that blends the best of antenatal education and hypnobirthing - grounded in science, free from birth ideology, and designed to help you feel calm, connected, and in control.

Real Birth isn’t just another antenatal class - it’s your all-in-one toolkit for navigating birth with clarity, calm, and confidence.

Over four relaxed sessions, you and your birth partner will learn practical tools for labour, clear information about your choices, and mindset techniques to help you stay steady - even when things change. This course brings together the science of birth, the power of hypnobirthing, and the emotional support of preparing as a couple.

Whether you're planning a water birth, a caesarean, or are simply exploring your options, this course is designed to support your birth, your way - without pressure, fluff, or fear.

What’s included?

  • 4 x 2.5-hour in-person or online sessions

  • A beautiful printed or digital course workbook + hypnobirthing relaxation MP3s

  • Access to a private WhatsApp group for continued support

  • Evidence-based education rooted in real birth physiology

Who’s it for?

Real Birth is for you if:

  • You’re pregnant and want to feel more calm, informed, and in control

  • You’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed about birth

  • You’re looking for a course that includes your partner and makes them feel confident

  • You value an approach that blends the why and the how, without judgment

What Makes This Course Different?

  • Balanced and evidence-based: we present the facts and support you to make decisions that feel right for you

  • No ideology or pressure: this isn’t about “natural” vs “medical”, it’s about feeling prepared and supported - there’s no right or wrong way to give birth, and no one should make you feel like there is

  • Practical + emotional: you’ll learn tools for breath, mindset, movement, and communication

  • Partner-focused: your birth partner will learn exactly how to support and advocate for you

  • Connection at the core: between you, your baby, and each other

What past clients say...

I cannot recommend Steph's hypnobirthing course enough. We learned so much about the process of birth which helped me feel much more prepared and in control during labour. We also learned lots of great techniques which I used during labour and which were incredibly helpful and effective. Steph was really warm, empowering and happy to answer our many questions. Thanks to Steph my birth experience was a very positive one, and I feel very grateful and thankful for her course! I would recommend Steph's course to anyone.

~Beth Lacey

Steph did a One to One hypnobirthing class with me at my house. Even after doing a full NCT course I learnt so much.
I incorporated my hypnobirthing into my labour and have such a positive birth story the other side with a beautiful baby girl.

I really recommend Steph’s course!
