Can anyone recommend a course/practitioner in London? I'm based in South London - Crystal Palace, so anywhere around there would be ideal or somewhere central. I wanted to attend Katherine Graves's 2 day course in August at st Thomas's but it's full.

Thank you! x

There are a few in South London.

Have a search on the East Dulwich Forum - I have seen recommendations for a couple of practitioners on there which will be fairly local for you.

UCH offer hypnobirthing course, it is fabulous and I felt very relaxed and prepared for the birth. Also, since it is offered and approved by UCH, there are no clashes with hospital guidelines. I am not sure how it works if you give birth in a different hospital though, but if you can still take thid course, I highly recommend it.

Thanks everyone, I'll have a look - I'd sort of given up as it's going to be an issue to find someone to look after my daughter whilst we attend a course. Some private sessions in our home would work so I'll try that route if it's not a lot more than a group course. Might have to just stick to books and CDs like last time...

I just completed course with Hollie from Lyndon Hypnobirthing. She's based in East Dulwich so not too far from where you are and I really enjoyed it, it was a really fun, relaxed class and i definitely feel much more relaxed and prepared for birth ( although am a few months away from giving birth yet so can't report on how it helped me!) The website is www.londonhypnobirthing.co.uk/ if you're interested.
