Get in touch to book
This workshop is for expectant parents who want to feel informed, empowered and supported as they get ready to meet their baby. Partners are part of it from the first minute: you book as a couple, and you learn together.
A positive birth is defined only by you. Whether you are planning a vaginal birth, a caesarean, a home birth or a hospital birth, with or without pain medication, this workshop helps you:
8 hours of in-person group training with a hypnobirthing instructor and midwife with extensive experience in hospital and homebirths, and a birth and postpartum doula. Workbook and refreshments included.
A private Telegram community, occasional one-off Zoom calls for group support during pregnancy, birth and beyond, and an extra online class to prepare for your postpartum.
The whole workshop is trauma informed.
Choose one of the following Saturdays (8 hours):
28 November 2026, Shannon
23 January 2027, Limerick City
6 March 2027, Shannon
24 April 2027, Limerick City

€190 per couple.
Special prices if you bring a friend or another couple, come solo, or the full fee is a barrier for you. Just ask.
The workshop is just the start. Very soon we will be launching weekly two-hour classes, such as creating your birth vision board, writing your birth affirmations, or creating a trauma-informed birth plan and postpartum plan with our support, with more to follow. Get in touch if you would like to hear when they begin.
