Hello!
I’m Felicity and I am delighted to welcome you to Fearless Mama, the home of Hypnobirthing in Guildford, Surrey. My mission is to support parents in preparing for the most positive birth experience possible, regardless of how or where they meet their baby.
When I became a Mama myself, I was frustrated and saddened by stories of parents taking antenatal classes that had prepared them only for a certain type of birth. If, or when their birth veered away from that image, parents were left feeling like they had somehow failed (which was incomprehensible to me!)
Whatever birth you choose to have, or end up having, the day you welcome your baby should be an empowering and positive experience. So, whether you are hoping for a home birth, or hospital, one without pain relief, or with all the pain relief available, I will work with you to remove the fear and unknown from childbirth and empower you to take control of your birth experience, no matter what twists or turns you might face on the journey.
There is no such thing as a perfect birth, but I promise to support you no matter what type of birth you hope to have (or end up having), and what you will learn in my classes will be instrumental in ensuring a positive experience no matter how you meet your baby.
It's common to be be skeptical about antenatal and hypnobirthing classes, but once you attend a session with me you will very quickly see that this is not about surrounding yourself with candles, fairy lights and incense, it’s about equipping yourself with knowledge and confidence.
Many of my clients hear about Fearless Mama through word of mouth and recommendations which is amazing for me as I am so passionate about what I teach. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to hear the announcement of a new arrival, from parents who feel nothing but positive about their birth experience.
Benefits Offered By My Antenatal Classes
- Understand the physiology of birth (or the abdominal birth process.) When you understand what is happening, and feel calmer about it, things often go smoother.
- Equip yourself with tools to work with your body, rather than against it.
- Prepare yourself and your birth partner to make informed decisions and navigate unexpected turns (which some courses do not include).
- Feel informed about your options and rights and how to use evidence-based information to make the right decisions for you and your baby.
- Feel happy, relaxed and in control for your birth (and beyond!)
Why Choose Me For Antenatal Classes?
- I deliver a complete birth preparation course, preparing you for whatever route your birth might take.
- This is not your average Hypnobirthing class; I ensure you are equipped for unexpected twists and turns and that you feel empowered to navigate these.
- I am incredibly passionate about ensuring you feel positive about your birth experience, even if that birth looks different to what they had originally envisioned.
- I offer in person course in Guildford, Surrey, but also offer very flexible Zoom sessions for parents that are further afield.
- You’ll receive complementary access to an incredible suite of antenatal and postnatal information (inc a monthly Zoom session) to help you navigate beyond birth
- My support does not end once the course is over. I am here and available for you to contact to ask questions, or discuss any worries you have, right up until your baby is born. (I find a lot of parents get in contact as they approach 40 weeks , so offer an optional call at around 37 weeks to help you navigate the decisions you will be presented with around ‘due dates.’)
