Birth and having a baby is a life-changing experience but the thought of it can be filled with stress, anxiety and fear. Especially if you’re pregnant after loss or infertility or you’ve had a previous traumatic birth.
It’s important that you feel calm, confident and empowered (yes, it’s possible!) so that your mind and body can work as effectively as possible during birth and recovery.
Birth Anxiety ➡️ Baby Calm is a person-centred approach giving you the knowledge, techniques and guidance to do just that.
It’s not antenatal course, but tailored sessions to prepare you for birth and having a baby. I bring together the best of antenatal & postpartum education, hypnobirthing and mental health as well mentoring you & your birth partner. The sessions will be tailored around your needs and anxieties, so rather than me teaching you; we’ll be discussing the topics you’ve requested in a holistic and family-focused way.
By the end, you’ll both feel prepared for your birth and your recovery as well as having solid foundation to work together as a team.
By the end of these sessions you'll know how to...
🌸 Be confident about how birth and how your body works
🌸 Breathe effectively to reduce pain & shorten labour
🌸 Release your inner fear and feel calm throughout labour
🌸 Teach your body how to actively relax
🌸 Stay in control no matter what the situation brings
🌸 Feel confident about your recovery & starting life with your newborn
You'll also...
🌸 Have a confident birth partner who can support you at every stage
🌸 Learn to speak to your midwife and make choices that are right for you
🌸 Know what to expect in the 4th Trimester with you & baby
🌸 Get continuous support from me AFTER the course until 12 weeks Postpartum
So How Will I Help You Get There?
We’ll start with an initial 30 min chat and discuss what topics you’d like to explore, any specific questions as well as any anxieties you may have.
Following that, I’ll send you a plan of sessions, which are usually every fortnight for 60-90min each (on zoom); however this can be tailored to your situation if time isn’t on our side.
Here are some of the most common topics I explore with clients in our sessions:
🌸 The birth process & birth physiology
🌸 Birth choices
🌸 Role of the birth partner/s
🌸 Aromatherapy & natural pain management
🌸 Hypnobirthing & breathing techniques
🌸 Communication with healthcare professionals
🌸 Preparing to breastfeed
🌸 Postnatal planning & recovery
🌸 The 4th Trimester & what to expect from a newborn
I’m currently fully booked, but if you would like to have a chat about going on my waiting list, get in touch and let’s chat.
What do my previous clients have to say?
“Just completed the Birth Fear to Birth Calm course and it was amazing! We were so anxious and unprepared for the birth of our 1st baby, but the course and working with Manisha has helped both my husband and I to feel much calmer and better prepared. Lots of great content in the course, including really useful and practical information on using aromatherapy. Thank you Manisha! “
” Manisha is a great Hypnobirthing Instructor. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Manisha made my husband feel at ease and very much part of the Birth plan. Classes were enjoyable which made learning a pleasant experience. Looking forward to working with Manisha after the birth of our little one.”
” We had private 121’s with Manisha and she was able to explain everything in a way that helped me visualise the experience of birth on a whole new level and give me the confidence to take control. Whilst we didn’t know it at the time of the course, the current situation caused a few things in our birth plan to become unavailable to us – however, with all the technique I had learnt, it meant I could still have a fantastic birth and was able to deliver naturally w/o pain relief. It was such a positive experience and I’m confident that this course went a long way to support that. Would definitely recommend! “
