Book a free clarity callThe problem with most hypnobirthing training
So many training courses look glossy or promise a "business in a box". When you scratch beneath the surface you'll find
❌ little or no effective hypnosis training
❌ misunderstanding of hypnotic language and self-hypnosis
❌ limited psychology or mindfulness integration
❌ people left unsure of how to adapt when birth takes a different path
❌ hypnosis techniques taught that are contraindicated for pregnancy
Most hypnobirthing classes are antenatal classes with some breathing and visualisation and one or two audio tracks.
This is why people come to me after doing other courses. This is a psychological preparation course for birth NOT an antenatal class with massage, rebozo or light touch breathing.

The Mindful Hypnobirthing Difference
This is not just another teacher training. Here’s what sets it apart:
✅ Ethics first — evidence-based, safe, professional, RCM-accredited
✅ Mindfulness and Hypnosis — integrated awareness practices unique to this course
✅ Psychology you can trust — depth that appeals to therapists and health professionals
✅ Adaptable for all pregnancies and births — VBAC, induction, caesarean, breech.
✅ Small cohort, big support — I only train 40 practitioners a year, so you’re never lost in a crowd
✅ Trauma-informed - awareness of techniques that can activate trauma in pregnancy and during birth.
Pricing
Some people tell me I should charge more. But I keep my fees at CPD level because this training is about professional growth, not inflated costs.
I want this course to remain accessible to doulas, midwives, hypnotherapists, and talking therapists who are serious about their practice. I'm dedicated to raising the profile of these tools to improve the experience of pregnancy, birth and the first year.
Yes, some courses charge £1,000–£2,000 or more. But I can’t in good conscience do that when you can train to be a fully qualified hypnotherapist or coach for not much more.
It’s professional, ethical training designed to give you skills for life.

Secure your space for 2025Louise - Mindful Hypnobirthing teacher
Louise is a successful practitioner in Dundee, Scotland for many years. She's a fantastic teacher and has worked hard to build up a great reputation within her area.
Hear what she had to say about the course and her experience of the journey.
Why practitioners choose this training
"As a clinical psychologist I wanted a course that fitted alongside my style of working and was grounded in evidence."
"I trained with another provider and this was entirely different. It was a much more comprehensive approach to hypnosis and so many more tools".
"I loved that this was about real skills I could use with parents straight away."
"Sophie is profoundly generous with the tools she teaches, some of the biggest birth influencers have trained with her and built success on the work she has done with them."
Small numbers.Big Support.
I only train up to 40 practitioners a year. That means:
- You'll get direct support from me
- Your questions are always answered
- You'll feel part of a community of serious like-minded professionals
- There are resources for just about anything. And if they don't exist I have the skills to create them.
Hypnosis isn't rocket science. But you do need to understand what is really is, the evidence that supports it, and how you can adapt aspects of hypnosis specifically for pregnancy and birth. Also importantly, how to keep your clients dafe. With this you will be able to add hypnosis to your portfolio or start a new business entirely.
“I would just like to commend you on designing and running such a really fantastic course! It really has empowered both of us. Most of our fears about birth have disappeared already.
I can’t thank you enough for the techniques you have given us. We have recommended you to our friends. The birth of our son is a day we remember every second of and will cherish forever. Thank you.”
I discovered Mindful Mamma after looking after a primip in labour who appeared to be doing hypnobirthing but without any complicated techniques.
She coped brilliantly with a long difficult labour and claimed it was due to her class. Over the next couple of years I realised I could almost predict who had prepared with Sophie's techniques - they were so calm and coped well with whatever labour threw at them.
I really believe it is the most useful Birth preparation available. It suits all types of people and all intrapartum situations. It also has the added bonus of teaching life skills which are invaluable in those early days of parenthood.”
