You’re here because you want more than just a birth. You want an empowering experience—one where you feel confident, strong, and fully present. You can picture that moment of holding your baby for the first time, but right now, you're unsure how to make that vision a reality.
I know how it feels to want a serene, positive birth but still carry doubts. After all, we live in a world where horror stories about birth are passed around like casual gossip. Even the media paints childbirth as a dramatic, chaotic event that leaves us feeling more terrified than inspired.
But There’s Good News: You Can Rewire Your Mindset
This is where my Group Hypnobirthing and Antenatal Course in Berwick-upon-Tweed comes in. It’s more than a simple Hypnobirthing class; it’s a transformational journey with you firmly at the centre. We’ll confront those fears head-on, replace negative images with empowering ones, and give you tools to feel calm and in control.
I designed this course because I’ve been in your shoes. My first birth left me feeling powerless and uninformed. But after a life-changing, empowering home birth with my second baby, I knew I had to share the magic of Hypnobirthing with other women. And trust me, you deserve to feel that magic too.
What Makes This Course Different?
I’m Ellie Waddington, founder of Belle Mama Hypnobirthing and Positive Birth. I’m passionate about natural birth and the power of the female body, but I also believe in preparing for every eventuality.
Unlike many other courses, I don’t sugar-coat things. We talk about pain, how to manage it, and why it doesn’t have to be feared. My approach is friendly and empathetic, but I’ll also give you the accountability you need to stay committed to your Hypnobirthing practice.
When you work with me, I stay by your side until your baby arrives. You won’t just learn techniques; you’ll have ongoing support, pep talks, and a teacher who’s invested in your birth story.
What Will I Learn?
During this 4-week group Hypnobirthing course held at Bab’yama Wellness Hub in Berwick-upon-Tweed, you and your birth partner will gain the knowledge, tools, and techniques to help you feel calm, confident, and in control — no matter what path your birth takes.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How Your Mind Affects Your Body in Labour: Discover how fear and anxiety can slow labour down — and how to break the Fear-Tension-Pain cycle so your body can do what it’s designed to do.
Powerful Breathing Techniques: Learn simple yet effective breathing methods to help you manage discomfort, stay calm, and keep your body relaxed throughout labour.
Deep Relaxation Techniques: Master practical tools like guided relaxations and visualisations to help you stay grounded and calm — both during pregnancy and in the moments that matter most.
How to Work with Your Body During Labour: Understand what’s happening in your body at each stage of birth, and how you can move, breathe, and respond in a way that supports your body’s natural process.
Creating Your Ideal Birth Environment: Learn how to set up a calm, positive space — whether you’re giving birth at home, in a birth centre, or in hospital — to encourage your birth hormones to flow and labour to progress smoothly.
How to Make Informed Decisions: We’ll cover the decision-making tools you need to feel confident making choices about your care, so you always feel in control.
Building a Birth Plan That Works for YOU: Learn how to create a flexible birth plan that reflects your preferences while preparing you for every possibility.
The Role of Your Birth Partner: Your birth partner will leave feeling confident in their role, knowing exactly how to support you with practical techniques and emotional reassurance.
This course is packed with practical, down-to-earth advice that prepares you for any kind of birth — whether you’re planning a home birth, a hospital birth, or something in between.
By the end of the course, you’ll feel calm, informed, and ready to meet your baby — equipped with the tools to handle whatever twists and turns your birth journey may take.

In a Nutshell, Hypnobirthing is about learning how to relax during birth using a combination of breathing, visualisation, guided audios and a full antenatal education.
You can learn more about what Hypnobirthing actually involves here.

Honestly, the earlier the better. The more time you give yourself to prepare and master these techniques, the more chance you have of a positive birth experience. In general I tend to recommend that you start learning Hypnobirthing between 20-30 weeks...but you can benefit from the techniques at any stage of pregnancy.

Hypnobirthing is not pain relief, and it’s never pretended to be. Hypnobirthing is a mind set, an attitude. It’s about managing and focusing. After months of practising my hypnobirthing, I had the most wonderful, calm home birth with my daughter. Thanks to the skills I learnt on the hypnobirthing course I invested in, I would describe the sensations of labour as powerful and intense rather than painful. But pain is subjective. And while I can’t guarantee you a pain free birth, I can guarantee that you’ll enter birth with the tools to conquer anything.
-
I strongly recommend that your birth partner learns the tips, tricks and techniques in this course too. During the course, you’ll learn essential techniques for birth partners to support the woman in labour. Plus, if the birth partner knows and understands the Hypnobirthing techniques, they can remind you during labour to keep using them if you start to lose your mojo a bit.

All pregnant women and their birth partners will benefit from this course whether they’re first time parents or 2nd or 3rd time parents.
