Our weekly antenatal classes in Herne Hill, South East London, help you and your birth partner feel calm, confident, and well-prepared for birth.
In a relaxed setting, you’ll learn how to manage fears, understand your body in labour, and use your mind and hormones to support a positive birth experience.
Friendly and inclusive, these classes support all birth choices - from home to hospital, induction to caesarean - and offer a chance to connect with other expectant parents and get excited for your baby’s arrival.
Realistic, evidence-based hypnobirthing & birth education for every birth journey.
Hypnobirthing is an antenatal practice that helps you prepare for birth. Far from the ‘airy fairy’ connotations the name implies, it’s about getting informed, learning how your mind-body connection can either support or stall your birth, and understanding your options fully.
In class we’ll dive into how your nervous system responds to fear, how to calm it, and how to work with your physiology to support your hormones.
We live in a culture where birth is often portrayed as dramatic, traumatic, and medicalised. We’re bombarded with horror stories, emergency scenes on TV, and language that makes us feel like birth is something to fear.
Many people walk into labour believing they just need to do as they’re told and hope for the best. And sadly, that’s often where trauma starts.
Hypnobirthing flips that!
Saying goodbye to stereotypes…

Your birth coach
hi i’m steph!
I became a Hypnobirthing teacher after realising how powerful it is to understand both how birth works and how the system works too.
first-hand experience
When my own birth went far past my due date, I faced pressure and fear-based messaging, but because I’d prepared, I was able to stay calm and in control.
Practical support
My teaching is evidence-based and grounded in physiology, hormones, birth rights, NHS systems, and decision-making—nothing airy fairy, just real info and practical tools. The Bold Birth Coach is here to offer honest support and help build real community.
get to know each other
“Pregnancy and early parenthood can feel isolating. That’s why I’m passionate about creating space for parents to connect—because building a local community around this work feels just as important as the teaching itself.”
