The Right Course

For You

The complete course will prepare you & your partner for birth, ensuring you both feel confident in your roles, which is essential in these modern times. Your birth experience matters, and you need to be able to walk into it feeling well prepared and knowledgeable about the process. This online course is designed to help you and anyone who supports you to feel ready, no matter what type of birth you are planning.

‘Discover your North Star’ is a course to help you take a slightly deeper dive into your personality style, fears and beliefs in general. This will enable you to identify what areas you may need to work on to ensure your birth is not sabotaged by other peoples fear or misgivings. When you know ‘why’ you want to give birth in a particular way, you can then begin to develop your own philosophies and guiding principles – and learn how to deeply trust your body, your baby and your instincts. 

My hypnobirthing course is for anyone who is looking to learn the skill of relaxation and self hypnosis as a birth management method. The tools and techniques you gain from the course will support you throughout the remainder of your pregnancy, in preparation for labour. As you use them, the daily practice of self hypnosis becomes more effective. Once you know how to breathe and relax at a moments notice – you can access this technique at any time throughout your life. 

Private 1-2-1 sessions are incredibly valuable, and the best option for so many, as they offer time with me talking specifically about whatever you want to know about pregnancy, birth and parenthood. Bookable by the hour, I am happy to cover all aspects of birth preparation, and if applicable – debrief a previous birth and talk about preparing siblings for the new arrival. I can also discuss  postnatal support – which includes feeding & sleep issues.

‘I learnt more in 1 hour of Sallyann’s class than I did on the entire NCT course we took 3 years ago. After a difficult birth first time, we knew we wanted to re-visit antenatal education to feel more prepared. We were so grateful to Sallyann for the information she shared. It is so easy to understand – and very empowering.’

‘Thanks so much for a great course. Tom and I really enjoyed learning hypnobirthing, and we both feel well prepared for our birth and how to navigate the maternity system. I feel Tom is particularly knowledgable now and ready to support me with confidence.’

‘I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the antenatal preparation sessions. It’s hard to describe what a difference it made to us both on the day. I knew Alicia’s wishes inside out and felt confident in my ability to support her. It was an incredible birth and we are in awe of our baby girl. We really are so grateful to you.’
