Tonight marks the start of our November course! Behind the scenes, we're working on next year's offerings, aiming to provide an even broader range of options.

For those with a baby on the way in the near future, consider attending our Free Taster or signing up for a tailored 1:1 course.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask - I'm here to chat! Tasha x

Katie talks about the moment the midwife had to kick the chair to wake her husband up before baby came a lot sooner than expected. I laugh about how I demanded an almond croissant, a hot chocolate and a banana for my breakfast, even though I could only take a bite and a sip. (PLEASE SHARE YOUR LAUGHABLE BIRTH MOMENTS in the comments!)

Katie and I haven't had perfect births. But that's not to say that we didn't find them powerful, exciting and beautiful.

Antenatal education MUST be realistic. Walking the line between toxic positivity and fear mongering.

We were left in awe at the strength of our bodies.
We felt supported by our birth partners, who knew how to support our physiology.
We knew how to stay calm or reset with our hypnobirthing techniques.

But we also prepared for if our plans had to change. We knew how to make informed choices and do evidence-based research. We learnt medical terminology.

But amongst all the realism, there are definitely moments we laugh about. We want to help you prepare for birth so that you get to smile whilst you retell your birth story too.

October already?! 🍁 🍂 🎃

Autumn is in full swing and we are all hunkering down- but if you can brave an evening or two, consider coming to learn a bit about our Birth Prep and Hypnobirthing sessions.

At the end of October we will be running a FREEEEEE taster- where we share our birth stories and how hypnobirthing helped us.

Oh no! You've missed our FREE Birth Prep and Hypnobirthing Taster this month... but we will be back next month on

September 17th at 7.30-8.30pm at The Cherry Tree in Olney (MK46 4EB)- booking available now via Eventbrite (link in bio on Insta or on our events page on FB).

We like to create a relaxed and fun space for birthers and birth partners to come along to. You might be carrying a head full of fear surrounding the idea of birth, but that doesn't mean your birth preparation or antenatal class has to be an intimidating lecture.

If you want to see how birth can actually be funny and exciting... join us for an hour. We'd love to have you x

How painful are contractions? What does the cervix dilating feel like? Are there any natural remedies for pain in birth? How can I cope when I'm scared of pain during labour?

We've got the answers... and some of them maybe aren't the ones you were hoping for. We can't promise you a pain-free birth (although for some birthers that does actually exist). What we can promise you is that you will be informed and forearmed with a huge toolbox of techniques to help you cope on the day you meet your baby.

Some are medicated and some unmedicated forms of pain-relief- we teach that nothing should be off the cards. It's about allowing for a continuum of coping mechanisms, so whatever you feel on the day- you have options.

If your baby is born in August their birth flower is the Gladiolus.

This month at The Birth Project, we will be helping birthers and their birth partners to feel:
*secure in their understanding of the stages of labour and how the body works during birth, especially the uterus during contractions
*prepared in terms of logistics- planning the route to hospital, familiarising yourself with the birth setting (home, labour ward, birth suite, caesarean theatre)
*reassured by all the methods of non-medicated and medicated pain relief available (and the pros and cons of each)
*confident in the practise of all the hypnobirthing techniques that can keep you both of fight or flight mode- so that you can stay calm when meeting your baby.

If this sounds like the antenatal course you want to take, look at our in-person dates or attend our FREE taster for more of an insight into what we offer (dates shown). Our courses are FULL Birth Prep with Hypnobirthing built in.

If you don't want to attend a group and want something tailored to your pregnancy- just message us and we can chat!
