If you take HypnoBirthing classes you DO NOT need to take any other prenatal class.  Our content exceeds that found in most other classes.

Class Scheduling

Classes are offered in both private and group settings.  Group classes are limited to 4 moms who may each be accompanied by 1 or 2 support persons.   Private classes are arranged to mutually accommodate our schedules while maximizing your learning.

You may take a class at any point during your pregnancy.  If your schedule permits, beginning your class near the beginning of your third trimester is ideal.

Private class fee           $500+HST
Group class fee             $275+HST

$100 deposit secures your spot.  Balance is due at the beginning of the first class.  Cash, cheque and PayPal accepted.

Book your class by calling 289-237-1596 or send an email to info@hypnobirthinghamilton.com

Focus on what you can do, and then do it with all your heart.       -- Lois Wilson

Upcoming Group Classes

All classes are held at a Hamilton west mountain location with easy access to the LINC and 403.  Address provided upon registration.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are interested in a group class but none of the below suit your schedule, or a class is full, please contact me.  Additional classes can be formed if sufficient interest exists. Also, if only one or two of the dates of a series doesn't work for you, these classes can be made up privately for a small additional fee. If there is room in another group class that's running in the same timeframe as yours, you may also make up missed classes by attending an alternate series at no additional charge.
