Venues
The weekend workshops are held mostly in Wimbledon, unless it says otherwise, in a light, airy, purpose built studio above the Café where you can reserve a table for lunch on the Saturday. Travel connections are good as it is a reasonable stroll from Wimbedon tube and mainline station (or 4 mins walk from the nearest tram stop) and 5 minutes walk from South Wimbledon tube on the Northern line.
Gooseberry Bush, 115 Kingston Road, London, SW19 1LT
Have a look at the website for a glimpse of the studio and details of what else is on offer. www.gooseberrybushcentres.com
Private workshops are held either in Southfields, Wandsworth, or in your own home.
Workshop dates All whole days run from 9.30 – 4.30 pm, evenings from 7.00 – 10.00 pm, other times for private one-to-one sessions by arrangement. (If I come to you then there may be a small charge for travel and parking.)

How much does it cost?
Each workshop costs £110 per booking, £220 for both days. Birth partners attend for free. Private one-to-one workshops are priced at £175 for an individual workshop, usually over two evenings. In response to requests for top-up sessions prior to the birth I am now offering a private two hour slot for £60.00. The Chelsea and Westminster workshops, booked through the Hospital, are £190 (slightly larger group).
You will receive a CD of your choice from the extensive Natal Hypnotherapy range on booking one day’s workshop and a copy of Maggie Howell’s book, “Effective Preparation for Birth” when booking both. At £220 for both days, including the CD and book, this is a really affordable way to prepare for the birth of your baby.
NB I am currently sending out a FREE copy of the Natal Hypnotherapy “Pregnancy Relaxation” CD to those booking both workshops at the same time.
What do I need to do now?
You can give me a ring if you like as I can answer any queries you may have, on 07718 629445 or you contact me via the form below. Once you have decided which workshops you want to attend I will send you a booking form and further details.
After payment has been received you will receive an email confirmation with more details of the course timings, the venue and how to get there, what to bring, what to wear. You will also receive a pre-course questionnaire for you to fill out and return to me. This will be treated with complete confidence and will help me ensure that all your needs are met on the course.
Two weeks prior to your course, you will be contacted again by me to confirm all details and to discuss any specific concerns or issues
You will receive your free CD and book at the workshop or I will post out depending on how early you book. SO many women leave it too late – don’t wait for a last-minute panic!!
