Group Hypnobirthing & Antenatal Course in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire
Attend with your birth partner from 20 weeks
5-star rated Group Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Classes held in the village of Hartley Wintney, Hampshire
I've been where you are...burying your head in the sand in complete denial that you need to give birth!
You want to feel calm, informed and confident when you go into labour, but you're also conscious that you don't have many friends in that stage of life, so you better start making some mum friends ASAP to spend maternity leave with!
My group hypnobirthing course is designed for exactly that. Over three relaxed sessions, you'll gain the knowledge, tools and confidence to approach birth positively, while also connecting with other expectant parents who are preparing for this exciting new chapter too. Birth preparation is important, but so is finding your people.
Practical Birth Preparation with a Supportive Community
You want to feel confident, know how to ask questions where you actually understand the answers, and have a whole host of tools & techniques to manage the different stages and sensations of labour.
If you're anything like me, the feeling of losing control in labour and not being able to cope with the pain of contractions made me feel so anxious about giving birth.
After doing a group hypnobirthing course with two other lovely couples, my mindset (and my husband's) totally changed - and we both felt so ready for our birth experience!
I've got first-hand experience how simple but powerful mindset shifts, practising deep relaxation, writing a clear birth plan, understanding the maternity system, having confidence to ask questions and advocate for yourself can totally transform your birth experience.
Helping You Feel Empowered For a Positive Birth
Feel confident & calm as you approach birth
Over three sessions we'll focus on a different aspect of birth preparation each week. Sessions are a week apart, giving you time to digest everything you have learnt, practice the techniques we've discussed and get thinking about your birth plans
Meet Other Local Expectant Parents
Big antenatal courses with 15 couples not your thing? Me too - we did NCT and we were one of 10 couples! I wanted something smaller, where I wasn't afraid to pipe up and ask silly questions, where I could really get to know the other couples and know everyone's name.
My group courses are kept small and cosy, with no more than 4 birth teams. You'll get to know everyone, build your village and feel comfortable asking any questions that may crop up.
Together, you’ll learn effective and powerful hypnobirthing tools & techniques designed to transform your understanding of birth and help you approach it with confidence and calm.
"We have just finished Fiona's hypnobirthing group course and I couldn’t recommend it enough. My husband and I are feeling so confident about the process of labour and birth.
Fiona makes you feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment you step in the door. "

Group Hypnobirthing Course
In-Depth Birth Prep With Community Built In
Where do the group courses take place?
My group courses are held at the Lucy Pygott Centre in Hartley Wintney over 3 cosy and informative sessions:
Session 1: How the Mind & Body Connect
Session 2: The Toolkit - Staying Calm & Relaxed
Session 3: Approaching the Big Day
Each session is mixture of discussion, activities, fun games, group learning and finishing off with a beautiful guided relaxation (the ability to calm your mind and body is where the real transformation comes in).
Who runs the group hypnobirthing course sessions?
All sessions are run by Fiona Wilson, founder of Hypnatal Birthing and local mum of two. I have first-hand knowledge of the local maternity services, after having my son at Frimley Park Hospital and my daughter at home supported by the local Lavender home birth team.
Can I do This Course Combined With Another Antenatal Course?
Yes. A lot of couples I work with are also doing another course, such as NCT or Happy Parents Happy Baby.
I have designed my Group Hypnobirthing Course to be a standalone, one-stop birth preparation course. It encompasses all of your antenatal education, mindset work to reduce fears, hypnobirthing tools & techniques, ways to help you feel more confident and knowledgeable about managing labour, and how to confidently navigate the maternity services and make informed decisions.
By investing in your birth with my group course, you and your birth partner will get in-depth birth preparation and support, whilst also making friends to enjoy maternity leave with. You'll build your knowledge, confidence and trust in your body and mind.
