Happy New Year!
So as we turn our back on 2020, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who have helped to make this year more…
Bloom Hypnobirthing
Helping you forget your fears, trust your instincts and give birth with confidence.
Hello you! Are you thinking about Hypnobirthing in Norfolk?
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am so so glad you are here. I imagine you’d like to find out just what hypnobirthing is all about? Maybe you’ve had friends who’ve done a course, or seen something online and wonder just what on earth it is and – more importantly – how it can help you to have an incredible, positive birth experience?! Perhaps you’re anxious after hearing scary birth stories, or you’ve had a difficult previous experience and want to avoid history repeating itself? Rest assured, whatever has brought you here – I am here to help you.
I’m Charlotte, a mum of three, qualified Maternity Nurse, self confessed birth obsessor and hypnobirthing teacher providing group and private hypnobirthing classes in and around Norwich, Norfolk. I am proud to hold a Diploma in Katharine Graves Hypnobirthing, approved and accredited by the Royal College of Midwives and the training of choice for the NHS. I’m also trained in the acclaimed ‘Biometrics for Birth’ methods and can inform mothers to be of the importance of movement during pregnancy and labour to help encourage their baby into optimal position, to assist with the progress of labour.
I truly believe that it is the right of all women to give birth with confidence, calmly and free from fear. Many of us just don’t know how (we don’t learn this stuff at school right?) but I want to change that. I advocate knowledge, choice and respect for women and endeavour to support women to have a positive and empowering experience, whatever that might look like for them.
Please feel free to read my story to find out more about who I am and how I came to teach hypnobirthing. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you to achieve the wonderful, positive, life affirming birth you and your baby deserve. Charlotte x
What is Hypnobirthing
Hypnobirthing is an in-depth and evidence based birth preparation that benefits all parents, experiencing any kind of birth, in any kind of setting. My course equips you with the tools you need to be able to give birth in the most positive way possible. In doing so, you are ensuring the best start to your new family life for you, your partner and importantly your baby. Hypnobirthing offers so much, to both mother and birth partner. There is nothing strange, nothing ‘out there’, its simply logical, factual information that every expectant parent should receive. For a full run down of exactly what hypnobirthing is and how it can help you prepare to meet your baby please follow the link below.
The course
One-to-one sessions
I offer private, bespoke one to one sessions for you and your birth partner within the comfort of your own home. Please see the course page for more information on the course structure and availability.
Group sessions
Group classes are a brilliant chance to get to meet other parents who are expecting at a similar time to you, to make new friends and to prepare for birth in a friendly, supportive and informal environment.
The Positive Induction Course
While induction of labour is something that should be very carefully considered, some women do have a genuine medical need for an induction. If you have decided that an induction is what is right for you and your baby I firmly believe that you can still have a positive birth experience and have specifically designed this course to help you achieve that.
The Gentle Caesarean Course
Many women choose an elective caesarean where there is good reason that this is the safest method for their baby to be born. Deciding to give birth via c-section is a strong and courageous decision, but can be fraught with worry, fear and stress. I have devised a course tailored to alleviating those fears and helping you feel powerful, calm and confident as you bring your baby into the world.
Stories
Charlotte is such a lovely and approachable person which makes the course so enjoyable! Her knowledge and support has been greatly appreciated by both myself and my husband.
Holly & Thomas
‘Meeting’ Charlotte gave my partner and I the most incredible birth experience of our first baby…better than we could ever have imagined!
Annie & Richard
You literally made our dreams come true with this birth. Thank you.
A & R
I’m a natural people pleaser so one thing I have gained on this course is the confidence to put my views across with all knowledge I have gained.
Georgia & Ashley
Our birthing experience was incredibly calm, positive and empowering and I honestly can’t thank Charlotte enough for the knowledge and confidence she gave us to bring our daughter into the world. Thank you thank you!! Xxxx
Florence & Kane
Thank you so much Charlotte, this was all made possible because of you. You gave me the confidence to have a home birth and the knowledge to feel strong enough not to be bullied into something I didn’t feel comfortable with.
Kitty
I managed to labour for 20+hours with your hypnobirthing and a tens machine.
I am so proud of myself and how I focused on your pack before birth!! Without hypnobirthing I don’t think I could have done it!
Karina
Can honestly say hypnobirthing helped us so much (THANK YOU!). We managed to stay at home using up breathing to cope with surges, creating a safe space at home and knowing what we’d learnt from the course gave us the confidence to lead the whole process along with the support from the staff at the MLBU.
Anna & Sam
My partner and I opted for one-to-one hypnobirthing sessions with Charlotte and we’re so glad we did! Charlotte made us feel comfortable and relaxed right from the first session and the course was really well structured to walk us through hypnobirthing techniques.
Alan & Charlotte
Cannot believe I haven’t written this recommendation earlier. How I forgot I do not know. I cannot recommend Charlotte enough, she is a one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. She welcomed me into each session with a warm smile and a check on how I was personally before moving on to educate myself and my partner on all things hypnobirthing.

Update on Dates!
*Inwardly cringing as I post potentially sales-y post!* So, on checking my calendar this morning I was pretty damn chuffed, and a tad surprised, to see that I’m fully booked…
