Hypnobirthing with Nurture & Wild
Taught plainly, in person, with a small group, due when you are.
Or privately, at a pace and format that suits you.
A group and a private session
I almost didn't do hypnobirthing myself, because I didn't understand the value of it. What changed my mind was learning what's actually going on. Your nervous system, hormones and body all work together in labour, and there's good evidence about how fear and tension affect that.
The real work in hypnobirthing is how you let your body get on with it. You learn how labour actually works, what your body's doing and what helps it along, and what your options are if things don't go the way you'd pictured, so you can stay clear-headed and make decisions in the moment instead of going blank. The calm comes from understanding what's happening to you. That understanding is what makes the change.
In Person
You learn this in person, over two Sundays, in a small group of women due around the same time as you. So much hypnobirthing now is a video library or a set of audio tracks, the kind you download early on, mean to get through, and never quite open, because birth still feels a long way off until suddenly it doesn't.
Supportive
A small group with a real date in the diary is a steadier, more useful thing than working through it alone on the sofa at 11pm. You turn up, you do it, it's done properly, and you've done it with people rather than alone.
Together
Most birth courses ask both of you to clear the same evenings for weeks. Here, you learn first, with the time and space to take it in properly. Then, closer to your due date, your partner joins you for a private session, a focused one-to-one on exactly how to support you on the day. It's included in the course, and we find a date that suits you both, when you'll actually use it. That way you're not carrying the whole thing into the room on your own.
Steady
I don't wave you off at 38 weeks. You can message me throughout. And I run the baby classes here too, so some of the women beside you now you'll meet again a few months on, with your babies. The person who helped you stay steady in labour is the same one holding the babe later while you get a cup of tea.

Come on your own. Places are limited to keep the group small, so your space is held as soon as you book.
Dates Upcoming
6 & 13 September 2026, for November to January babies
29 November & 6 December 2026, for February to April babies
Prefer it just the two of you
Some couples would rather do this privately, on their own dates. The private course is eight hours as standard, entirely one-to-one, with the same practical teaching as the group course and more room to spend time on whatever matters most to you.
Because it's just the two of you, it shapes around your circumstances. That might be preparing for a planned caesarean, coming back to hypnobirthing for a later baby, or something particular you want to work through, and the hours can stretch a little where a situation calls for it.
£365 for the standard course. We sort the dates, and anything bespoke, by email, so we can talk through what you need first.

Or an evening to try
The Birth Workshop, Prenatal Pilates & Hypnobirthing with Anna and Aimee
Your body is designed for birth. This evening teaches you how to work with it.
Two hours on a Thursday, the two of us teaching together. Anna takes the body and preparation. Aimee takes how labour works and how to stay clear-headed in it.
Between us you get the full picture, what's happening in your body approaching and during labour and what you can actually do about it.
Anna will take you through grounding and prenatal movement, the practical mechanics of how to move in late pregnancy, and pelvic floor work that makes such a difference and so rarely gets explained properly.
Aimee brings positions that help labour along, how to manage contractions as they build, and how to keep thinking clearly so you can make good decisions on the day.
One evening, and you leave with practical things you can use and a steadier head about the whole thing. You're welcome from the first and second trimester up to 36 weeks (contact us if closer to your due date)
Thursday 16 July, 6 to 8pm at Graft , Kings Heath. Evening nibbles provided
Emily
"I can't recommend Aimee enough. Thanks to her I had the calm, semi-natural birth I wanted. She tailored the course to us, told us things we weren't aware of, and made us aware of our rights, which gave me the confidence to say no to things I didn't want. The recordings helped me sleep beforehand, and during contractions I put my AirPods in and zoned out. The midwives couldn't believe how well I was handling it. She gave us phrases that helped, too: a contraction is only a minute long, you can do anything for a minute, see them as waves. My birth didn't go to plan and I was induced, but I still got through it on gas and air, which is apparently rare. I put that down to Aimee"
Louise
"Because of your teaching I felt confident enough to make my own birth decisions. Thank you for the knowledge, and the confidence to question."
Yasmin
"Words will never be enough to express how grateful we are for all that you did to help prepare us for the birth of our little one. The 1:1 session you designed for us gave us all the skills we needed to create the birth experience we dreamed of."
