Frequently Asked Questions ❓ — Antenatal Classes South London

Q1. What antenatal classes do you offer?
I offer two bespoke antenatal courses tailored to your needs:

  • The Balance Course consists of two 90-minute sessions focusing on breathing techniques, hypnobirthing visualisation, and birth preparation. This is ideal if you want a focused, condensed programme.

  • The Birth Wisdom Course is four two-hour sessions covering everything from the physiology of labour to partner support, infant feeding, and newborn care. Both are available face-to-face or online.

Q2. Where do the antenatal classes take place?
In-person classes are held in the comfort of your own home anywhere across South London, including but not limited to Sutton, Merton, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. Online sessions are available to families anywhere in the UK, making my expert antenatal education accessible wherever you are.

Q3. How much do antenatal classes cost?
The Balance Course is £160 for two sessions and the Birth Wisdom Course is £440 for four sessions. All classes are one-to-one and completely tailored to you, meaning you get personalised attention that group antenatal classes simply can't offer. If you're unsure which is right for you, book a free chat with me to talk it through.

Q4. Do your antenatal classes include hypnobirthing?
Yes. hypnobirthing breathing techniques and visualisation practices are woven into the Balance Course, and can also be incorporated into the Birth Wisdom Course. Rather than treating hypnobirthing as a separate add-on, I integrate these evidence-based techniques naturally so you feel genuinely equipped to use them during labour.

Q5. Who are your antenatal classes suitable for?
My antenatal classes are suitable for all parents; whether this is your first baby or you're adding to your family, and whether you're attending as a couple or on your own. Every course aims to be tailored to your individual circumstances, birth preferences, and any specific questions or concerns you have.

Q6. What is the difference between your Balance Course and Birth Wisdom Course?
The Balance Course is a shorter, more focused programme centred on hypnobirthing, breathing, and mindset for birth which is perfect if you've already done some preparation or want something concise.

The Birth Wisdom Course is more comprehensive, covering the full picture of labour, birth, and the early days of parenthood.

Q7. When should I book antenatal classes?
Most parents book their antenatal classes between 20 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, allowing enough time to absorb and practise what you've learned before your due date. However, I can work flexibly and accommodate later bookings where possible — so don't hesitate to get in touch even if your due date feels close.

Q8. Why choose a one-to-one antenatal class over an NHS or group class?
NHS antenatal classes are valuable, however, are often limited in time and can't be tailored to your individual needs. My one-to-one classes mean every session is built around you — your birth plan and preferences, your concerns, your questions. As a Senior Registered Midwife and Doula with extensive clinical experience, I bring a depth of knowledge that goes far beyond a standard group class setting.
