Birth Preparation Refresher Course

Are you expecting your 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th baby? Every pregnancy and birth journey is completely unique, which is why it’s incredibly important to prepare for each one. even if you think you have a lot of knowledge or experience, there will always be new things to learn, recapping and unravelling new thoughts or feelings as a new journey unfolds. If you don’t have the time or budget for a full course, or perhaps you feel really well informed and just need a recap, a refresher can be a great option.

The importance of preparation for EVERY baby and birth is essential, if not more than the first time as it’s so easy to forget things and every journey unfolds differently. You likely have less time and energy to prepare as you are already a parent to one or more children. Perhaps it’s been a while and information or evidence has changed, perhaps you want a different experience this time round or want to safeguard having another positive experience like last time? If you have previously completed The Lemon Tree Birth Programme or completed a full 10 hour+ antenatal course then a refresher is likely a great option for you.

It’s important to reflect and debrief all the highs and lows of any previous births, in order to release any fears or build your confidence and knowledge for this birth. Or perhaps you’ve had a great previous experience and simply want to dedicate some time refreshing your memory and investing and dedicate some energy for this baby. We can work through any obstacles or blocks, refreshing your knowledge, skills as well as building on them, practicing, preparing your mind and body. This bespoke private course is designed to help you navigate the journey you’re on as you grow your family. As a mum of 2 myself, having birthed 1 baby in hospital using NHS care and 1 breech baby at home with a combination of NHS and independent care. I know only too well how different labours and births can be. We should never underestimate the unique journey of every beautiful being we bring into the world.

£255 Online from the comfort of your own home, where you can relax, and don’t need to arrange childcare, at times to suit you around other children. You can book dates and times to suit you Monday to Thursday during the day times or evenings (more limited availability). You can hook your laptop up to the TV screen and enjoy setting this time aside, dedicating some preparation time for you and your baby

£325 In Person in the comfort of my beautiful bespoke studio in South Godstone, Surrey RH9 8LB. Time together in person and particularly helpful if you wish to explore areas like biomechanics where you and your partner can practice hands on skills. 

My gift to you is a Lemon Tree Course Workbook, affirmation cards and audio tracks for relaxation, breath work etc. You will receive the most up to date copy with all the latest evidence and full course content, enabling you to read up on many topics outside of our sessions.

How do you know if a refresher is right for you? If you have not attended a full antenatal course with me before, a comprehensive course of a minimum of 10 hours education, have previously completed a short pre recorded online hypnobirthing course, an NCT course or something like Bump and Baby, I would highly recommend you book a full course with The Lemon Tree rather than a refresher as the content is extremely different and much more in depth. A refresher probably wouldn’t be sufficient. Find out more here.

If you HAVE completed The Lemon Tree Programme previously or were happy with another course, you feel that you have good knowledge etc than a refresher is ideal for you.

If you are unsure what education or support you need, feel free to contact me for a FREE of charge 15 minute clarity call where you can tell me about your previous education, experience, or pop me an e mail me and together we can explore the best option for you. 

Note: If you feel you are carrying any trauma or need to de brief a previous birth/births, it would be worthwhile doing that in advance before your sessions so we can focus our sessions on your current baby/birth and utilise our time. You can simply book a power hour or two to do this. I can also signpost you to relevant professionals if you need specialist support.
