Have a look inside ⤵️
Compiled by industry powerhouse Linda McNeill, this hypnobirthing home-study handbook and digital course is highly acclaimed by both midwives and fellow hypnobirthing experts.
With over 10 years of hands-on experience and 1000s of positive birth stories under her belt, Linda has finally put her knowledge into an easy-to-digest package that will help even the most anxious mum get birth confident.
There's nothing too 'woo' - just practical advice, clear instructions to follow and guided relaxations to enjoy. At the end of the course, you'll understand how to get the best possible birth experience.
You'll also find invaluable advice about what your options are if your birth doesn't go according to your birth plan, as Linda has included lots of sections on navigating your choices within the NHS (and you can take the book with you to hospital!).
How do you learn best? By reading, writing things down or by watching videos?
Because you'll get all three. Use the handbook how it works for YOU.
What you get in the home-study Hypnobirthing Handbook and Digital Course:
- A full-colour, complete, fully-illustrated Hypnobirthing course in a beautifully presented, written book.
- A complete, easy-to-follow digital course accessed through the QR codes throughout the book (lots of videos to watch and audios to listen to).
- Lots of areas to make notes, and a full pregnancy journal to complete and cherish as a keepsake (not everyone likes to journal - but if you do, it's there!).
- It's like Linda is your personal instructor. She'll be there to help you feel relaxed, empowered and confident - even in hospital where you can take the handbook and listen to the audios or watch videos on your phone.
- Watch yourself lose the fear and become a whole new confident you about your body, your baby and your choices. You got this!

Six video tutorials accessed through QR codes in the book, take you through your positive birth tools (including breathing techniques, massage for labour and birth, active birth positions, relaxation techniques and more) and a full 1.5 hour antenatal class, fully explaining what happens during labour and birth, how it feels and what you and your birth partner can do to make it calm, comfortable and positive. (You got this!).
Video content in total is a little over 3 hours.
6 gorgeous relaxation tracks and confidence-boosting audios
Six downloadable tracks to help overcome anxiety and build confidence for birth. The audios vary In length but the average listening length is 20 minutes.
- A 3 month journal
This is so awesome! There are activities and opportunities to journal through the handbook – you start at the beginning of the book by taking time to reflect on your pregnancy journey so far and what worries and wishes you may have about your birth. The second half of the book is a 3 month journal, carefully designed to help you keep on track with your Hypnobirthing, work on your mindset and keep you feeling confident and positive until your birthing day. Yes!
- Pregnancy relaxation class
A special bonus treat! An hour-long pregnancy relaxation class to help you switch off and start prioritising your own self-care. Bliss!
Is this really a complete Hypnobirthing course?
Yes! This course contains everything you need to prepare for your positive birth. You learn at your own pace, in your own home. You can use this as well as or instead of an NCT course.
Is this going to be hard work?
The Hypnobirthing Handbook has been carefully designed so that is totally accessible, easily digested and most of all super engaging.
Your birth prep will feel fun and interesting and hopefully relaxing and enjoyable.
How much is delivery?
It's free!
How long will it take me?
The course is carefully designed to make learning Hypnobirthing simple and fun.
The Handbook is split into 4 sections and each section can be taken a page at a time.
It is designed to be self-taught over 4 weeks, with pauses and prompts built in BUT you can take it as fast or slow as you like depending on your time-frame.
Can I gift this?
Of course! The handbook arrives beautifully presented in a book box with a ribbon. You can leave a gift note in the checkout and choose to add the birthing fragrances if you wish.
This makes a fabulous gift to an expectant mother - there's nothing out there quite like it!
When should I start?
It is never too early or too late to start preparing for your positive birth (I’ve taught someone at 42 weeks pregnant before!) but I would say the optimal time is around 20 weeks pregnant.
You then have time to embed and enjoy the techniques and fully use the 3 month journal included in The Hypnobirthing Handbook.
If you are further along do not worry but get going as soon as you can.
The Hypnobirthing Handbook is also about helping you have a positive pregnancy as well as a positive birth so let’s do this!
I've already studied hypnobirthing. Will this still help?
Absolutely! You will be familiar with lots of the content which will give you an amazing head start. But you'll also find lots of info about dealing with the NHS, your options in hospital, and audio tracks to download and relax to.
Lots of women choose to buy this after their first birth for an extra boost.
I'm doing a Hypnobirthing course elsewhere. Will this still help?
Yes! The Hypnobirthing Handbook will build and enhance the knowledge you are learning elsewhere. And this isn't just about hypnobirthing - it's the complete picture, including how to navigate the NHS.
It will give you the added benefit of having a resource to take with you when you birth, extra videos and audio downloads to increase your tools and the journal to keep you beautifully on track and mentally strong.
We've had a lot of feedback that the sections on your options when you're in hospital are really helpful (eg if you're told you need an induction or a C-Section). So take the handbook with you!
I'm having a planned C-Section. Will this still be useful?
The Hypnobirthing Handbook will still help you if you are preparing for a c section as the skills are all transferable, however it is not specifically aimed at c section parents.
I have a different version of the Handbook specially designed for C Section parents which is due to be published soon.
Do drop me a message if you want to have access to the preview version.
I'm not in the UK. Is this for me?
The Hypnobirthing Handbook has been designed specifically for UK parents. It explains and delves into the NHS to help you navigate a busy and sometimes complicated system and get the BEST birth for you.
So much of the Handbook would still benefit those outside the UK but it has been written for those birthing within the NHS.
