What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a set of tools and techniques which make birth a more pain-free and enjoyable experience. It is based on science, a philosophy and a mindset which means that your birth will be more simple, gentle, and calm, whichever path your birth journey takes. It is a pain relief technique whereby women use a blend of self-hypnosis, relaxation, breathing techniques, active birth, and preparation to allow them to overcome pain, and where birth partners offer an important supportive role, so that each couple can look forward to their birthing day with expectation and excitement. It is, quite simply, better birthing.

Arrival time is 9.30am on the first day for a tea/coffee reception. Hypnobirthing with Jackie will be 10am-4pm, with an hour lunch break. The rest of the evening is yours to do with what you like. Indulge in a massage, have a long bath, go for a walk or chat with the other couples on the course. Dinner will be served in the evening, which is the perfect opportunity for you and your partner to reflect on the day.
Day Two
Breakfast will be served on the second day and the Hypnobirthing with Jackie will continue at 11am- 5pm, again with an hour’s lunch break. After this, the day closes- unless you decide to treat yourself to another night’s stay of course!
The perfect overnight stay for mums and dads-to-be to get away from it all and really indulge in a calm and luxurious weekend to connect with each other, and prepare for your imminent adventure into parenthood.
Before and after, you can enjoy the hotel’s: fine food; comfortable accommodation; indoor swimming pool and massage treatments. The Grove Hotel is situated 5 minutes’ walk from a beautiful sandy and sparse beach, so you can explore the North Norfolk coastline, too.
“Jackie’s birthing knowledge is invaluable. She led us towards giving our baby Freddie the best start possible, with the most beautiful calm, controlled birth. The weekend itself was blissful; award winning food, a swimming pool and right next to the beach. Perfect.” - Sarah Tyler
