Hypnobirthing Training in the NHS
At The Little Birth Company, we’re proud to offer Hypnobirthing Training specifically for NHS midwives—because when midwives feel confident in supporting calm, empowered birth, every family benefits. This training gives midwives a reinforced appreciation of the physiology of birth, the importance of the mind–body connection, and practical tools that help create a safer, more positive environment for all birthing people, not just those choosing hypnobirthing. Families feel more listened to, more in control, and better able to navigate their options, leading to reduced fear and improved birth experiences across the board.
For midwives, the training enhances communication skills, boosts professional confidence, and supports a more peaceful working environment. For the unit, it promotes a culture of compassion, continuity, and evidence-based care—strengthening outcomes and supporting staff wellbeing.

We understand that every service is unique, which is why we offer bespoke training packages designed around your needs. Whether you’re looking for a full Hypnobirthing Teacher Training programme or a more flexible approach, we can work with you to create a package that suits your team, your goals, and your service.
Our Introduction to Hypnobirthing Workshop is priced at just £125 (including VAT) per midwife, based on a minimum of 10 attendees. Book for 10 midwives and we’ll gift an extra space for free. For smaller groups, we are happy to discuss alternative options.
Full Hypnobirthing Teacher Training
We also offer our full Hypnobirthing Teacher Training, with costs available on enquiry. Some Trusts choose to offer the resulting Hypnobirthing classes to families for free, while others use the programme to generate additional income for the unit. Once trained, it’s entirely up to your Trust whether Hypnobirthing classes are delivered, or if the focus is on ensuring midwives are fully equipped to support families who wish to use Hypnobirthing within your service.
We’d be delighted to have an informal chat to explore how we can support your team and create a bespoke package tailored to your service’s needs.
The Little Birth Company has been phenomenal
“We received training with The Little Birth Company just prior to Covid restrictions. Our unit already provided other forms of hypnobirthing but we found that they were becoming out dated and were too restrictive in how they had to be delivered for the changing demographics of our service user’s needs. The service we have received from The Little Birth Company has been phenomenal from our first enquiry to the training day and following on from this with post training support and the support for the women that we are supporting. Both Wendy and Melissa who provided the training were warm and friendly and made the class relaxed. It was a very informative day and everyone left feeling confident and excited about being able to expand our hypnobirthing service within Ayrshire and Arran and being able to offer a service that would fit with the needs of the women and families of Ayrshire and Arran.
The new restrictions caused by Covid put a temporary halt to our progress with our hypnobirthing service. However we remained passionate about the need to supply this service and sought ways that this could be provided. In June 2020 we commenced providing online hypnobirthing classes within Ayrshire and Arran. As midwife hypnobirthers have increased in confidence in the use of the technology then the availability for the classes has increase and we have provided various length sessions based on needs that we would have been unable to provide with other forms of hypnobirthing. Out with this we are also able to provide 1:1 face to face sessions for women who are unable to attend on line. This flexibility has meant that we are able to provide hypnobirthing to a larger proportion of women. Previously we had a strict referral criteria for hypnobirthing however we have been able to relax this and in November 2020 we introduced “self-referral” for this service.
The feedback we have received from the women and families has been very positive and some women have preferred the class being online as it is easier to fit around family demands”.

Shared hypnobirthing techniques with us
“Thank you so much for facilitating the day, the staff really enjoyed the session.
The day was sensational. Wendy & Melissa were great at keeping us all engaged and bridging the gap between what we know and what is shared with women. It felt very open and we appreciated the way the facilitators were able to share the hypnobirthing techniques with us. Thank you also for the bag of goodies. We look forward to booking another course in the future”.
Hypnobirthing Workshop Feedback
“I wanted to thank you again for a fantastic training session last week! I had the honour of caring for a couple who were hypnobirthing yesterday and the course really helped me to support them. I put the affirmations you sent up on the wall with twinkly lights, turned off the main lights and put a sign on the door saying “we are hypnobirthing, please keep the noice and interruptions to a minimum. Thank you”.
We even got the CTG reviewed from outside the room on the big screen in the handover room and doctors round was politely asked to be performed outside the room as all was normal. I stayed late to support through second stage and they had a beautiful delivery.
Thank you for giving me the tools and confidence to truly support this couple with thie birth wishes.
Keep doing what you are doing!”
