Hypnobirthing
Prepare yourself to enjoy a positive birth journey.
With hypnobirthing, Joan will explain how well equipped you already are, and teach you the skills to leave fear outside the birthing environment. This will help you to remain calm, confident and in control of your birth. She offers couples lots of choice with private and group classes, evenings or weekends with sessions based in Harpenden & St Albans.

Post-Natal Doula Support
It is our aim is to ease your family into your new life by offering comfort and support, whether it be practically or emotionally.
We often refer to Post Natal Doulaing as “Mothering the Mother”. This new and challenging time can bring many rewards but it can be tough for so many reasons, every mother and baby is different. Often a new mum just needs a reassuring and supportive presence and we are flexible in how we support our families. It may be that you only require a few hours here and there or you need a consistent Doula most days for a few months. Julia, Tricia and Lucy are all post-natal doulas.
