Based in Shipley, West YorkshireAbout this EventBorn Ready: Confident Birth Prep with Hannah (5 star experienced Birth & Postnatal Doula) - www.thepracticaldoula.co.uk✨Looking for birth prep that feels real, useful, and all about YOU?✨You deserve antenatal support that centres your autonomy, protects your choices, and leaves you feeling calm, confident, and ready. My group course is designed to help you trust your body, understand your options, and navigate the system without losing your power. It’s relaxed, straight-talking, and judgement-free because you are the expert of your body and your baby.Who this is for:You want more than a checklist, you want context, clarity, and confidence.You’re ready to make informed decisions that feel right for you (not just what’s “usually done” or "policy").You want your partner to feel equipped and involved so you’re both on the same team.You want tools you can use on the day: breath, comfort measures, mindset anchors, and advocacy skills.You value a supportive space where your plans, preferences, and instincts are respected.You want to connect with other local parents to be and build your village or support.What you’ll learn:How birth actually works: The physiology of labour - what your hormones and body are doing, how perfectly they work and how to support them.Comfort, breath & mindset: Practical Hypnobirthing techniques for each phase of labour: positions, touch, heat/cold, breath patterns, and focus tools you can actually remember.Informed choice, not pressure: Understanding benefits, risks, and alternatives so you can say “yes,” “no,” or “not right now” with confidence.Navigating the system: How to communicate with your care team, ask good questions, and hold boundaries without confrontation.Partner power: Tangible ways your partner can support you physically, emotionally, and as your advocate so you both feel calm and connected.Birth environments: Home, Birth Centre, Labour Ward or Theatre - How to create safety, privacy, and oxytocin wherever you are.Plans & pivots: Crafting preferences that are flexible and values-led, so if plans change you still feel held and in control.The golden hours & beyond: Immediate postpartum, feeding, bonding, and support for the early days with Bingley's very own Infant Feeding Specialist, Rea Halstead - The 'Titwitch'. Because birth is a beginning, not an ending.The vibe:Expect a warm, down to earth & relaxed space where questions are welcome and nothing is “silly.” We’ll keep the science digestible, the tools practical, and the tone empowering. This isn’t about being a “good patient.” This is about remembering that your voice matters and your choices are valid. Your body, your baby, your choice.Format & what’s included:4 group sessions each packed with 2.5hrs of evidence based agenda free information.Clear handouts summarising key tools and decision-making frameworks.Guided breathing & comfort practice you can replay at home.Partner prompts so your supporter knows exactly how to help.Exclusive access to a Whatsapp group during the course for those “just checking” questions and useful links/resources and community building.An automatic support village so you can feel held and supported all the way and beyond.Outcomes you can expect:A grounded understanding of how birth works and how to support it.A toolkit of practical hypnobirthing techniques for comfort, breath, and mindset.Confidence to make decisions that align with your values without second-guessing yourself.A partner who feels prepared, useful, and steady.A values-led, flexible birth plan that protects what matters most to you.A calm, connected approach to the early days with your baby.Partners are welcome (and actively involved)Your partner or chosen support person is invited to attend and participate. They’ll learn exactly how to offer physical comfort, how to advocate kindly and clearly, and how to keep your birth space calm and oxytocin-friendly. You’re a team, let’s make sure it feels like one.My approachI believe that when you understand your body and your options, you make decisions with clarity, not fear. My role is to offer evidence-informed information, practical tools, and unwavering respect for your choices. You won’t be told what to do. You’ll be supported to do what’s right for you.Accessibility & inclusivityThis course welcomes all birthing people and families. If you have specific needs (sensory, mobility, language, previous trauma, religious/cultural preferences), let me know—I’ll adapt the space, pace, and materials. Your safety and comfort are a priority.What people say:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"We booked antenatal classes with Hannah over the 3rd trimester, really informative, chilled and mega empowering. I didn’t book for Hannah to be at the birth (she was fully booked - rightfully so) but had a lovely birth anyway, because I was so confident going into it, and armed with all the knowledge from our sessions! 12/10 Fully recommended"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"We signed up for Hannah’s doula course without having much of an idea of what to expect, but benefitted hugely from her advice, insights and support. The sessions are well thought through, and provide information in a friendly and easy to understand manner. Less scented candles and whale song (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) and more practical realities on what questions you need to ask, what decisions you need to be prepared to make…If you’re looking for someone to give practical tips on how to manage (and thrive in!) your birth journey, then we couldn’t recommend Hannah (and superstar midwife Rhea!) highly enough."If you’re not sure whether this is the right fit, send me a message. I’m happy to chat about your plans and what you need.Because birth isn’t something to “get through.”It’s something you deserve to feel powerful in. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/shipley/born-ready-birth-prep-with-the-practical-doula-june-3rd-10-17th-24th/100001987609318978 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 235, max: 235, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Shipley - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Kirkgate Centre - **lat**: 53.8338547 - **long**: -1.7796314 - **full address**: Kirkgate Centre, 39A Kirkgate, Shipley, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Born Ready - Birth Prep With The Practical Doula - June 3rd, 10, 17th, 24th - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/76e24e3b2ac86bdcffc1bf06a0fe1dd7f2b325b45fc131940b68de74cad5fd95-rimg-w1000-h480-dcefdfc8-gmir.jpg?v=1776346406 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Born Ready - Birth Prep With The Practical Doula - June 3rd, 10, 17th, 24th being held? - **A:** Born Ready - Birth Prep With The Practical Doula - June 3rd, 10, 17th, 24th takes place on Wed, 03 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 03 Jun, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Kirkgate Centre, 39A Kirkgate, Shipley, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Born Ready - Birth Prep With The Practical Doula - June 3rd, 10, 17th, 24th? - **A:** Tickets for Born Ready - Birth Prep With The Practical Doula - June 3rd, 10, 17th, 24th are priced at GBP 235 per person.
