The antenatal course for an amazing birth experience on your terms — wherever in Spain you are.

Do you recognise this?

• You lie awake at night, and the word that keeps circling is "tearing." It doesn't help that the expat Facebook groups are full of it. Someone describes their stitches, another types "episiotomy," a third shares a story that makes your stomach drop — and there's no one nearby to put it in perspective. No mum, no sister, no midwife friend down the road to say "it wasn't like that for me." Just you, at midnight, clenching as you read, half wanting to know everything and half wanting to slam the laptop shut and pretend you never asked.

• You're doing this far from home, and some days the loneliness hits hard. Your mum is a half day travel away. Your best friend can't pop round with biscuits and a hug. The people who'd normally carry you through something this big are all in another country. And when you picture actually going into labour, there's a quiet panic underneath it all: "Who is really going to be there for me? Who's in my corner when it matters most?"

• The Spanish maternity system feels like a maze — and one that keeps steering you toward things you didn't ask for.Back home you'd have known roughly what to expect. Here, you're not sure what a matrona does versus an obstetra, whether you'll even meet the person who delivers your baby, or what a "plan de parto" is worth if no one reads it. And on top of the confusion, every appointment seems to add another intervention "just in case" — talk of inductions, monitors, drips, of being "allowed" to do things. You came in wanting a calm, gentle birth, and you walk out feeling like you've signed up for a medical procedure you don't fully understand.

• You smile and nod in appointments — and then panic in the car park. Your Spanish is "ordering-a-coffee" good, not "discussing-foetal-monitoring-during-a-contraction" good. And the thought terrifies you: that in the most important moment of your life, you won't understand what's being said, or won't be able to say what you need. Being voiceless in that room — unable to ask, to refuse, to be understood — is the fear that keeps creeping back.

• You know you want a natural, calm birth — you just have no idea how to actually make that happen here in Spain. You've read the books. You believe your body can do this. But "trust your body" feels like a lovely slogan that nobody has translated into real steps for giving birth in a Spanish hospital. How do you stay calm when the system runs a certain way? How do you hold your ground, in another language, in an unfamiliar system? You want a plan, not a mantra.

How would it be for you if...

…the word "tearing" no longer made you flinch?
Imagine understanding how your body opens for your baby — and having the breathing and positions to work with it. You scroll past the scary posts and think, calmly, "That's not the only way it can go."

…you didn't feel alone for a single moment of this? Picture a small group of women who get it, in your pocket the whole way — and a partner that is prepared to be your calm, capable advocate. Held and supported, even miles from home.

…the Spanish maternity system finally made sense — and worked for you, not on you? Imagine walking into every appointment knowing who's who, what your rights are, and which interventions are routine versus truly necessary — steady, informed, and back in the driving seat.

…the language barrier simply stopped being a barrier? Picture the key Spanish birth words at your fingertips, a birth plan that speaks for you when you'd rather breathe than talk, and a partner ready to step in. Calm and in control, even when the Spanish is flying around you.

…you had an actual, step-by-step way to birth naturally — in Spain? Not a slogan — a toolkit. Your breath, your mind and your environment working together to keep you calm and in control, and a plan that fits the Spanish system. "Trust your body," finally backed up by real steps.

Video soon to come

This is what is included in the HypnoBirthing Group Course:

• 5 live online sessions of 2.5 hours, once a week over 5 weeks, via GoTo Meeting — where I walk you through everything from the breathing techniques to how the Spanish maternity system actually works, all from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are in Spain.
• The full HypnoBirthing Institute workbook — relaxation scripts, hands-on exercises, affirmations for both mother and father, natural pain-relief information, a birth partner guide, breathing techniques and more.
• Downloadable relaxation audios, to practise your breathing and visualisations any time, day or night.
• A goody bag of supportive products, posted to your door before the course begins — your tools ready and waiting.
• The complete Birth Plan Pack — bilingual birth preference templates, the full numbered options list in Spanish and English, and a formal bilingual letter for your care provider. We go over it together in the course, and I answer your specific questions live, so you're clear on every choice.
• The BRAINS decision-making tool — with the key questions translated into Spanish — so you can actually use it in the room, in the moment, with your Spanish care team.
• My expat information handout — clear, myth-busting guides to the things that trip parents up in Spain: birth hormones and the oxytocin loop, your due date, waters breaking before labour, "big baby" warnings, vaginal exams, and understanding induction.
• WhatsApp and email support from me — throughout the course and right up to 2 weeks after your baby arrives, so you're never left with a scary question and no one to ask.
• Deliberately kept small — never more than 4 couples, so there's real time for your questions, your worries and your story. A proper live class, not a video you watch alone.

• No travel. No parking. No "where's the venue?" stress. Just you, your partner, and a cup of tea on the sofa — preparing for birth in the very place you'll feel most relaxed.

After this 5 week program you will:

>> Understand your body so well that the fear of tearing loses its grip — with the breathing and positioning tools to support a gentle, gradual birth, and the perspective to let the scary stories go.

>> Feel genuinely supported, never alone — with a prepared partner who knows how to advocate for you, and a group of women who have your back.

>> Know the Spanish maternity system inside out — and how to stay in charge of it — confident about who does what, what to expect, which interventions are routine versus necessary, and how to keep your birth on your terms.

>> Have the language tools and birth plan you need to be understood and respected, even when your Spanish runs out.

>> Hold a clear, practical plan for a natural, calm birth that actually works in Spain — your trust in your body finally matched by real, usable steps.

Investment 

€347,- per couple.

For five live, intimate sessions (never more than 4 couples), the full HypnoBirthing Institute workbook, downloadable relaxation audios, a goody bag posted to your door, the complete Birth Plan Pack, the BRAINS tool with the key questions translated into Spanish, my expat information handout, and WhatsApp + email support right up to 2 weeks after birth.

Put it next to the things you'll happily spend on for your baby — the pram, the cot, the tiny outfits they'll outgrow in weeks. This is an investment in how your baby comes into the world, and in how you remember that day for the rest of your life. That memory stays with you forever.

Why opt for the HypnoBirthing Group Course?

A small, personal group. Never more than 4 couples, so there's room for your questions, your worries and your story. You're a person here, not a number.

You won't be doing this alone. Over five weeks you'll sit alongside other expat parents facing the very things keeping you up at night. Hearing someone else voice your exact worry is powerful — you realise you're not "the only one," and you learn from each other every week.

Support that doesn't stop at the last session. You can reach me by WhatsApp and email throughout the course and right up to 2 weeks after birth — because so many of the real questions come after the sessions, when you're back in that appointment room or holding your newborn at 3am.

Truly interactive — even online. This is a live class. We practise the techniques together, talk things through in real time, and I answer your questions as they come up. Nothing like watching a pre-recorded video alone. And because you're at home, you practise your relaxation in the very environment where you'll be calming yourself throughout pregnancy.

Born-in-Spain knowledge, from someone who's lived it. This isn't generic hypnobirthing — it's birth preparation built specifically for expat parents navigating the Spanish system.
