As a location for group classes, Rotherham is very accessible from all areas of South Yorkshire (Barnsley, Doncaster and Sheffield) Wakefield, Chesterfield, Worksop and North Nottinghamshire. It has excellent motorway links to both M(1) and A(1).
For private classes, I am willing to commute to homes within a 45 minute drive away from my home in Rotherham. This radius covers the following areas:
- South Yorkshire, including the boroughs of Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Sheffield, Chesterfield and North Derbyshire
- Wakefield, Castleford, Pontefract, Huddersfield and other parts of West Yorkshire
- Worksop, Bassetlaw, Mansfield and other parts of North Nottinghamshire
- and Gainsborough in Lincolnshire.
If you would prefer it or if you live further afield than this and want to do classes privately, we can arrange for me to teach them at my comfortable home or make arrangements on an individual basis.

Course Costs & How to Book
Birth Freedom HypnoBirthing® courses are deliberately provided at very reasonable rates to make them affordable to as many expectant mums as possible whilst maintaining the highest quality of both teaching and course materials provided.
Course fees per couple*:
£ 195 group fee
£ 295 private course fee
*Course fees may sometimes be slightly higher to include fuel costs incurred if the mileage travelled by Clare to teach classes at a private or requested group venue is significantly greater than to attend a locally-based venue. Contact Clare to confirm whether this would apply.
Course fees should be paid in full by cash or cheque at the start of class 1.
To Book a place on the course for you and your partner, please contact me at Birth Freedom→ or use the Sign up for Classes button located near the top of this webpage. I am happy to discuss any particular needs or concerns that you may have, finalise start dates with you and forward a course enrolment form to you for completion prior to the course.
PLEASE NOTE: I would never deny anyone access to the benefits of HypnoBirthing due to genuine financial hardship. For anyone serious about doing the HypnoBirthing course who feels they are unable to do so due to genuinely limited financial means - special rates and/or payment methods may be negotiable. If you feel that this situation applies to you please contact me in total confidence to discuss this further.
I am fully committed to equal opportunities and value diversity and inclusion. My aim is to make my classes as accessible to everyone who wants to do them. If you or your birth companion have a special need, including a disability that requires reasonable adjustments to be made to the way that I provide my classes, please contact me in confidence to discuss further.

Course Content
HypnoBirthing® is so much more than just a childbirth or antenatal course.
It is a complete birth and parenting preparation and education programme for mums-to-be and their birth partners.
I find that often people express surprise at just how comprehensive the course is. It equips mums and their birth partners not only with everything they need to experienmce and enjoy a relaxed, much more comfortable and easier labour and birth but also to enjoy a calm, confident pregnancy while creating a secure, loving and deep bond with their baby both pre-birth and as a newborn.
The course combines the following elements :
- In-depth teaching and education on
The practical and logistical elements of birth preparation and planning; enabling you to make clear and informed choices and decisions about the kind of birth that you want for yourself and your baby
The importance of pre-birth parenting, bonding techniques and your baby's conscious awareness in the womb
The full physiology of labour and birth - so that you understand exactly what happens and why at each stage during pregnancy and from the onset of labour through to the birthing and early parenting of your baby
- In-depth tuition and coaching on the full range of HypnoBirthing® tools and techniques to support you fully during each stage of labour and birth.
Think of these as your personal toolbox of techniques, which you can freely select from throughout each stage. They include
- Instant and deep relaxation techniques, including self-hypnosis and fear release methods
- Visualisation techniques
- Three Special Breathing techniques to help you work effectively with your body during labour (between and during surges) & birth
- Massage techniques to aid relaxation and facilitate birthing
- Natural Induction methods to initiate labour and to restart labour naturally if it should stall or weaken
These are combined with education and tuition on the following to prepare the body for birth
- physical exercises
- correct posture and
- nutritional guidance
- In addition, you and your birth partner will view fascinating films of real-life UK HypnoBirths which very importantly, will help to convince you that you, your partner and baby can also have a very positive HypnoBirthing experience.
