Welcome to Romsey Relax. I am a hypnotherapist, hypnobirthing practitioner, and former midwife. I've been running birth preparation (trained by the NCT) for 20 years.  

I offer private hypnobirthing courses in your home, or somewhere nominated by you. I can run this as one or two full days (for example 10am - 5pm) or half days. If you have attended my courses and are expecting your next baby, you might like a half day refresher or an evening relaxation session. 

In the past I have run group classes. Although I don't schedule these regularly I can run a course in your home for several couples.  

If you'd like to discuss birth preparation, hypnobirthing, or anything related, I'm happy to chat on the phone. It may be that a different format would be better - as my classes are 1-1, I can include any elements from my NCT antenatal training, midwifery knowledge, hypnotherapy and hypnobirthing.

N.B. I am a former midwife- I am no longer practising, so any clinical information should be discussed by your NHS or private midwife.  

Please see the pages on the left for birth stories, from women and couples who have attended my courses.

 Zana Parker and I ran the popular Pregnancy Relaxation Hour sessions at New Forest Birth Centre,pre-COVID. Although we are no longer able to do this, it is possible to get together with a few pregnant friends and I will come to your house.   Email me Barbara4c@yahoo.com

Testimonials...I will be happy to put you in touch with couples who have attended my courses so you can ask any questions.

Mother-to-be  expecting third baby

“I’m still ecstatic after the birth, and although it was hard work, I wouldn’t call it painful…   I’m so glad I found out about Natal Hypnotherapy and went on the workshop, it made such a difference to the labour and my life in general as you can use it elsewhere. ”
