Pick ‘N’ Mix birth preparation and hypnobirthing workshops to help you to prepare for your birth, your way!
Here at New Birth Club we understand how overwhelming it can be when embarking on antenatal & birth and preparation.
We also understand that each family is unique and there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to pregnancy and birth preferences.
Which class shall I enrol on? NHS classes? NCT? Hypnobirthing? It’s a real head f*ck!!
Don’t bury your head in the sand when it comes to your birth preparation…

Any questions that come up, simply drop us an email & we’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have following the completion of your workshop!
