1-2-1 'BIRTH READY' SESSION.
If you're unable to make one of my group sessions or maybe you just prefer to have an antenatal session all to yourself then a one to one is the perfect alternative. Join me at our Tewkesbury venue at a date and time to suit you, for 3.5 hours of labour and birth preparation for yourself and a partner
(if applicable you are very welcome to attend on your own).
Sessions are designed to provide you with all the tools you need to feel fully informed, prepared and ready to birth your baby with confidence.
Refreshments are provided and at the end of the session take home a gorgeous goody bag filled with beautiful birth related goodies!

See booking link for further information about booking a 1-2-1 session.
Our sessions are suitable for anyone expecting a baby and their partner/birth partner (although you are very welcome to attend on your own). You are able to come along at any stage of pregnancy but we recommend attending some time between 26 and 38 weeks.
Research shows that being informed about the physiology of labour (knowing exactly what's happening to your amazing body and why) and understanding the choices available to you (what are my options?) means you are more likely to feel you have had a positive birth experience. A fab reason to invest in yourself and prepare for your birth.
The full 10 hr group course is made up of 2 x 5 hour sessions, run over two weekends. Courses run regularly so you are sure to find dates that fit with you. If you would like to attend a 1-2-1 'Birth Ready' session you can book for a date and time to suit you- sessions last 3.5 hrs.
There will be no boring classes at Tewkesbury Antenatal. Sitting and listening to a teacher talk for the entire course is never inspiring and most definitely boring!
I know how valuable your time is, so I want you to get the most out of your sessions.
I guarantee the sessions will have you.... interacting with the other parents in the group; encourage you to draw on the knowledge you will be surprised you already have; give you the opportunity to explore different viewpoints (all opinions are valid and worthwhile) whilst benefiting from tailor made visual resources designed to inspire and make your learning fun.
Attending a group can be a daunting experience, that's why sessions are held in a relaxed homely environment in the Walton Cardiff area of Tewkesbury. There are no hard seats or cold halls to sit in, only comfy chairs and a cosy space. Everything is aimed at ensuring you feel comfortable and well and truly taken care of over the 10 hour course.
(For further venue details please see booking page)
Groups are made up of 4 or 5 local couples/pregnant mums (maximum) all expecting babies around a similar time to you. Not only are antenatal sessions a fantastic source of information but they are also the perfect way to make connections with other local parents, a ready made circle of support as you welcome your new little one into your lives! (One to one private sessions are also available to book)
Tewkesbury Antenatal is created and run by a local Tewkesbury practitioner for local parents.
The sessions are run by myself- Deborah Hannam, a qualified and experienced doula and antenatal practitioner. Having gained my Birth & Beyond degree with the NCT, I have been supporting parents through pregnancy and running antenatal sessions for Gloucestershire families for the last 8 years. In my role as a doula I am privileged to be able to continue that support, being by a parent's side during birth, ensuring they feel safe, supported and cared for throughout their labour and as they welcome their baby into the world.
