WEEK BY WEEK

A step by step guide on what will be covered during each session. To commence at any time in pregnancy, you are never too late to start but I have recommended starting around 26 weeks, the longer you practice for the easier it is to use your hypnobirthing techniques during your pregnancy, birth & beyond.
