Hypnobirthing classes in Brighton: what to expect

What formats are available in Brighton?

Two main options cover most parents: a group course (usually 4 × 2.5-hour sessions across two weekends, small cohort) or a private 1:1 course in your own home. There is also a 4-hour Intensive for parents in the final weeks of pregnancy who want a focused top-up.

Where do classes happen?

Group courses are held at small local venues — quiet spaces that suit the relaxed, conversational format. Private sessions happen in your home, anywhere in Brighton and Hove. Either way, the format is evening- or weekend-based and works around most work schedules.

What will I actually learn?

Each course is built around The Calm Birth Method — the proven techniques of hypnobirthing without the fluff. Across the sessions, you will:

• Learn breathing techniques for every stage of labour
• Understand what your body is doing during contractions and why
• Build a flexible birth plan that reflects your preferences
• Practise guided relaxation and visualisation with take-home MP3s
• Discover the specific, practical role your birth partner plays
• Explore your rights and how to advocate for your choices in hospital

How much does it cost?

Group Hypnobirthing Course: £250 per couple. Private 1:1 Hypnobirthing Course: £400 per couple. Intensive Antenatal Class: £180 per couple. All prices include course materials, MP3 recordings, and ongoing WhatsApp/email support until your baby arrives.

How far in advance should I book?

Most Brighton parents book when they are around 20-28 weeks so there is time to practise the techniques. Classes do fill up — especially ahead of busy birth months — so it is worth getting in touch earlier rather than later, even just to be on a waiting list.
