Wellbeing Courses

Throughout the year we run several FREE courses that speak to specific aspects of creating good mental wellbeing. These courses are all designed to equip you with a better understanding of how each area might affect your wellbeing and to provide you with a toolkit of actions that can best support you in creating good habits and managing your emotions.

All courses run intermittently throughout the year and are dependent on funding. This page will be updated with course dates and how to book.

Here what we have going on and a taster of the type of thing you can expect from our Wellbeing Courses.

  • Hypnobirthing course for May 2024 run over 3 Saturdays here at the Elephant Rooms in Draycott.

    Why choose Hypnobirthing to prepare for a positive birth experience? The main premise is based around hypnosis as a form of pain relief (a very effective form of pain relief). But hypnobirthing is about so much more than that. In my course, we cover...

    • Breathing and relaxation techniques
    • Hypnosis sessions for mum and partner
    • Self-hypnosis skills for labour and birth
    • Practical comfort tips
    • Letting go of fear
    • Managing stress levels
    • Induction
    • Physiology of birth
    • Importance of hormones
    • Positive affirmations
    • Practical tools and techniques for birth partners
    • Birth planning and mind mapping
    • Your rights and options in childbirth
    • Positive birth videos to boost your confidence

    Whether it's your first baby, second or sixth baby, hypnobirthing can help you prepare for a positive birth experience - whatever that looks like for you! We cover all the options and consider how you can navigate the maternity system and how to advocate for yourself and your birth preferences.

    This course is friendly, informal and is an opportunity for you to meet other parents who are expecting at a similar time to you. The course is 9 hours in total - 3 sessions of 3 hours over 3 weeks. The dates for this course are:

    Saturday 11th May 5-8pm - Session 1:
    The Power of The Mind

    Saturday 18th May 6-9pm - Session 2:
    Positive Birth Physiology

    Saturday 25th May 2-5pm - Session 3:

    Please note the different times of each session. Each week we'll include a tea and snack break (drinks and snacks provided). If it happens to fall on a time you'd normally be eating a meal, feel free to bring food along with you!

    Please bring a yoga mat and anything else that will help you to feel comfy and relaxed, for example a pillow and blanket, some fluffy socks. Course booklets are provided, you may wish to bring a pen to make some notes alongside.

  • We all face challenging situations but we can learn to overcome them and find a sense of being in control. This course will provide you with a collection of mind-body-spirit practices that will awaken and empower you. Tapping, finger holds, Tai Chi and more are all effective techniques that can help relieve stress, anxiety and pain, allowing you to achieve a sense of peace and equilibrium when you most need it.

  • Each day will only ever be as good as the previous night's sleep, so it’s important to learn how to cultivate optimal conditions for the perfect night of rest. This course will cover awareness, breathing, the body and self care, so that you can preserve and protect your mental and physical health and in turn, improve your quality of life.

“We are hard-wired to connect with others, it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.”
