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

What partners say ….. “I did not think a day about pregnancy would go as fast or be as relaxing.” "I have learnt more about how to relate to J's feelings, to manage my concerns." "The hypnosis is wonderful. Talking through mind maps was a real help too." “An excellent workshop that I would thoroughly
recommend for both men and women - particularly good for men as it
really can engender confidence and clarify the man’s role in proceedings. ” What mums to be say ….. “Barbara was a fantastic trainer, already feel 10x more confident about labour than I did first thing this morning! Will definitely recommend to friends and family.”“I believe I can do this!” “I have finished the course feeling calmer about the birth, and I feel I have the tools now to make it a more positive experience.” “I'm so glad we did the workshops and found
Natal Hypnotherapy- it will make a massive difference to birth, and life in
general." |

“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. ”
