You might have been told that nothing can prepare you for birth or parenthood.
But abandoning all preparation can hugely limit your choices.
You really do have the power to shape a positive birth experience for you and your baby.
Now it’s time to get the knowledge and skills to navigate the current maternity system effectively and to influence your birth experience positively.
Does this sound like you?
On the surface you’re so looking forward to your birth, meeting your baby, an experience you have been longing for. You have an image in your head of how things will be.
But maybe you also have a niggling fear that it won’t go that way and you will end up with one of those difficult birth stories that you try not to listen to. There’s a voice in your head saying that you’re not being realistic and you’re not ready.
Am I being naive?
You might have been told that creating a birth plan is pointless, that your birth is going to go the way it is meant to go, and wishing won’t change that.
What if my plans for natural birth change?
You have heard the stories. What will you do if your birth plan starts unravelling and you find yourself out of control with limited options presented
Don’t doctors know best?
If a doctor recommends a course of action, and you aren’t on board with this, can you stick up for what you want or will they think you are just being difficult and reckless.
It’s time to Step Into Your Power
for the birth you’ve always dreamed of!Â

What makes this Course different?
Birth is a crucial part of the journey, not just the destination
Popular culture and most current antenatal classes present birth merely as the end of the pregnancy journey. A heroic bursting across the finish line with a last push of determination. But the reality is that the birth is a whole journey in itself.
Understanding that journey can make it a positive trip to cherish rather than a grim trudge, no matter how the road might weave along the way.
Many birth classes won’t tell you about the roadworks.
One in three UK births are induced and a quarter are caesarean sections. Most of those mums probably expected a spontaneous unassisted labour, because that is the only roadmap we are given as women by the films, television and traditional birth courses. Â
In reality, many inductions are booked as a kind of traffic management to reduce overall statistical risk and keep everyone on schedule – not only to avoid urgent danger.
Many classes will not prepare you for the pressure you will come under to surrender your preferences to fit into the traffic plan.
Learn to choose your route and predict your own roadworks.
The learning in the Complete Hypnobirthing and Newborn Course will help you and your birth partner to decide together about your preferred journey and to predict any bumps in the road ahead.
I will give you realistic expectations for every stage, and an ‘insider’s scoop’ on how the maternity system is set up to prioritise risk management rather than positive birth experiences.
With my evidence based, grounded knowledge, I will teach you :
- how to manage obstacles as they come along.
- What the key CHECKPOINTS are in your journey to meeting baby.
- how to advocate for yourselves if your preferred route does not go smoothly.
- how to stay on course for as long as possible.
- how to choose any genuinely necessary diversions with calm, positive authority and confidence.
” My husband attended the zoom classes and watched the videos with me, and I can just say that we both thoroughly recommend it! The course within the club is so well-structured and informative and Linda has the ability to explain things in a clear, concise and calm manner, which will make you so excited about birthing your baby. My husband also found it very helpful as he now understands what is going to happen and how to best support me through labour and birth.”
DANIELA
Most birth preparation courses will not help you question the experts.
The prevailing culture says that you can create a birth plan and try to stick to it… until a doctor says there is a risk and recommends that you do something different, then you rip up your plan, and follow the expert.
Most birth preparation courses will not tell you that many clinical recommendations are made according to charts of “standardised” births based on how things should progress at a population wide level. Other recommendations are about reducing risk of litigation.Â
But would you know HOW TO FIND OUT whether your baby is genuinely at risk or just not performing to schedule?
Learn how to make a genuinely informed choice
The birth preparation lessons within the course explain why clinical staff will automatically recommend specific paths when you reach certain CHECKPOINTS.. It will teach you how to communicate with your care providers to find out what you need to know to make genuinely informed and considered choices.
I will explain how different kinds of risk are categorised within the medical profession and how you can find out when a risk is genuinely referring to you and your baby as individuals rather than statistical risks in an overstretched healthcare system.
I will teach you :
- What questions to ask.
- What language to use.
- How to interpret expert advice to make choices you will remember without regret.
” Thanks to Linda’s course, I am now aware that I have the right to choose how I wish to give birth and don’t have to submit to pressure from health professionals who may be trying to follow hospital policy rather than what is right for me. I also have a greater understanding of the female body’s incredible capability to give birth naturally without unnecessary medical interventions, and that if interventions are needed there are choices I can make that are better for my baby, body and overall birth experience.”
SOPHIE
” You’re at 41 weeks now so we’re just going to book you in for your induction.”
” There’s an increased risk to baby if you don’t agree to this”
” You can decide against it if you wish but you will be going against our policy”
Will you know what to say if you hear these phrases from the doctor.Â
Is this what you want?
What can you do?
If something is deviating from what’s expected in pregnancy, of course you want to take any action necessary to make sure baby is ok.
But can you tell the difference between a medically necessary induction and one which is just being suggested to reduce statistical risk for the hospital?
Do you know the difference between relative risk and absolute risk and what these mean to you as an individual?Â
Do you know how and what to ask, without coming across as difficult or putting your baby in harm’s way?
Joining the Complete Hypnobirthing and Newborn Course you will learn
How to ask your doctor about the actual risk to your baby of different courses of action.
How to ensure that you are acting due to good clinical evidence and not reacting to standardised policy.
How to stand up for your needs and to ask for time and information when possible.
How to know that the choices you make are informed, and are the best decisions for you and your baby.
How to make sure that whatever path your birth takes, you will feel like you consented, understood and chose that path for yourself, for your body, for your baby.

I cannot recommend the antenatal classes enough. I dare to say, they are the best you can get in this country. With a comprehensive set of video classes, all recorded by Linda herself and all of them containing detailed knowledge about everything you need to know to get prepared for your birth, but also to get ready to become parents.
I cannot recommend this antenatal class enough and it is definitely value for money and an amazing experience.
LORETTA
My husband was really reluctant to consider Hypnobirthing and attending antenatal classes, but with Linda’s knowledge, advice and warm and inclusive personality he quickly came around and found the experience really positive!! The amount of information and knowledge Linda has is just amazing, she is so reassuring and really makes you feel that you can ask her anything. She treats each couple as though you are her most important clients and provides support in between classes and onwards. I also particularly loved the online materials which I could keep revisiting!!
CHLOE
Have we met?
Hi, I’m Linda
I’ve supported more than 700 births during more than 30 years of practice both within the NHS and independently.
That experience makes me perfectly placed to help you:
- to navigate the healthcare system
- to stand up confidently and ask for what you need.
- to choose and protect the most positive birth experience for you and your baby.
If you are looking for practical, grounded clinical knowledge AND someone who will help you fight for the birth that you want.
You don’t have to choose – you CAN have both!
What previous parents have wondered?
Why do I need this course?
Being prepared is the best thing you can do for you and your baby.
You can’t control how a birth will progress. Every woman and every baby is different. Things don’t always go to plan.Â
- But you CAN understand your body and its capabilities and prepare as well as possible.
- You CAN predict what you might be recommended, persuaded or pressured to do.
- And you CAN decide how to ask, research, refuse or consent to any of those things.
You can’t control which way your pregnancy and labour path might turn, but you can feel in control of yourself, your emotions and your choices as you walk your path.
How does the content compare to other antenatal classes?
There is no comparison.
This content in the Complete Hypnobirthing and Newborn Course covers so much more.
Whilst in person classes might give you a chance to meet and chat with other couples, this is not the time to compromise the content of your antenatal classes and there are so many other ways to meet other parents through online forums and postnatal groups.
The course is constantly updated as new evidence emerges, so it is never behind the times, ensuring you get the best information out there.Â
How does it work?
Once you sign up you get immediate access to the course and all its evidence based materials. All this content is available on laptop or mobile with an app (available on both IOS and Android) so you can listen or watch whilst out walking, or sitting waiting for your appointments!
When should I sign up?
You can start the pre-recorded section of the course from as early as 12 weeks if you wish.
The first module is really helpful in early pregnancy if you are feeling anxious as it explores the subject of hypnobirthing . You have 12 months access, so you can go back over the materials time and time again during your pregnancy.
If you’ve only just spotted this programme and you are  in your 3rd Trimester, don’t worry! All the content is readily available, so it’s perfect if you need to binge-watch and get yourself prepared in a very short time.
I have lots of questions and I think a face to face course would be better?
Face-to-face courses generally only last a few weeks whereas with this course you have access to the content before and after baby is born.Â
I'm booked for a planned C-Section / It's my second baby ....is it still suitable?
100% yes!
The beauty of the Complete Hypnobirthing and Newborn Course is that it’s suitable for all. No matter whether it’s your first baby and you’re not even sure what hypnobirthing is, or your third baby is on the way, this course shows you the innate power that you have in your possession to achieve a Positive Birth. Â
The lessons within the club will show you how to feel totally prepared for the realities of childbirth. Whatever direction your pregnancy, labour and birth takes, you will be able to remain confident and in control.
What if I sign up and don't like the programme?
I promise that by the time you complete this programme you will feel more positive, confident, relaxed and even excited about giving birth!

Evidence based resources, downloads, recordings and scripts to use in your home, your birth and beyond.
Lessons to take you from birth preparation right through early parenthood, with nothing left out.
“This is my first pregnancy and I was feeling vulnerable about the unpredictable nature of childbirth. I was seeking a depth of detail and information that NCT simply isn’t geared to provide. Their course content was not sufficient for me to fully understand intervention or make thoroughly informed decisions and communicate them effectively, and I had no real awareness about coercion and how to combat it.
This is not just the kind of information you could find in a book, it is underpinned by Linda’s real-world experience and sprinkled with fascinating anecdotes from her accomplished career. It is this unique combination that elevates her course from a purely learning experience to something much deeper and empowering”
