About
Workshops
and Courses
Beyond Midwives have arranged workshops individually for those unable to commit to a set course, or would like to spread their antenatal education over a longer period at convenient times.
If you can commit to a set course, the full antenatal course will cover everything you need to feel confident and prepared for baby’s arrival. The mini courses offer the opportunity to focus on the area you want to learn more about.
All workshops will be led and taught by specialist midwives with an understanding of the care and options you will receive. Once you have visited Beyond Midwives for a workshop or course, our midwives will be available to answer any questions and offer advice. Additionally, a booklet to refer back to will be provided.

Workshop
Give Birth without Fear workshop
Hypnobirthing is very popular and can be very effective. We didn’t want to offer a service already widely available and not suited to everyone. We discovered an alternative to hypnobirthing. A method developed in Sweden aiming to become a globalised movement. The method is called ‘Give Birth Without Fear’. You can research the founder, Susanna Heli. Her book about giving birth without fear is a recommended read.
