Welcome to the Home of 5* Hypnobirthing and Antenatal Courses in Folkestone and Hythe
If you’re looking for down-to-earth, evidence-based birth prep packed with practical, realistic tools for both you and your partner, you've come to the right place!
A Birth Positively course includes the stuff you actually need to know. Each course will leave you feeling informed, confident and calm — having released feelings of overwhelm and left the fear of the unknown well and truly behind you.
Together, we’ll look at what to expect, learn practical tools you can use during labour, and build the confidence to give birth feeling prepared, empowered and ready for whatever comes your way.
But what actually is hypnobirthing?
Unfortunately, hypnobirthing doesn't involve someone clicking their fingers and presenting you with your baby- if only!
Hypnobirthing is an approach to birth. It is about understanding the impact your mind can have during labour and how to use this to your advantage! Hypnobirthing also explores how your body works, the hormones involved, how your partner can help and how to navigate the current maternity system.
You’ll learn simple, practical techniques using breathing, relaxation and positive language to help you feel calm, focused and more in control. It's amazing what just a little practice can do to completely change the way you feel about birthing your baby.
Hi, I'm Kelly
I'm an experienced hypnobirthing teacher and mum of 3 living in Hythe, Kent.
When I was first pregnant back in 2013, I was so scared of giving birth. I'm a massive wimp when it comes to pain and don't like feeling out of control so understandably the thought of birth was absolutely terrifying to me.
But then I discovered hypnobirthing and it changed everything!
Now? I can't get enough of birth! I've worked with close to 200 women and their partners and am passionate in supporting them to achieve a positive, empowered and brilliant birth experience, no matter what happens on the day.

Venue
Just like when you give birth, environment is key to help you feel calm, relaxed and comfortable.
That's why Birth Positively has a stunning a course venue for you - my Coastal Home Studio in Hythe, near Folkestone, Kent.
With comfy sofas and stunning views of the sea, my studio is the perfect place to begin your antenatal education and to start building friendships with other local parents-to-be.
Spaces are limited to allow for questions and discussion away from a larger group.
Community
Looking after a baby is wonderful and rewarding, but can also exhausting and isolating. Having the option to head out for a coffee and meet up with like minded people is invaluable when you have a new baby on your hands.
Every month Birth Positively hosts Bump and Baby Social Events to enable you to do just that! Free to anyone who has booked a course with Birth Positively, these socials are the ideal way to start building your village and gaining vital support, laughs, coffee ( and someone to hold the baby whilst you enjoy it!)
Kelly ran the sessions in a warm, relaxing, fun and informative way; I immediately felt at ease talking about the pregnancy and upcoming labour.
Kelly is brilliant at explaining the birth process in such a relatable and relaxing way... she puts you at ease and fills you with confidence that regardless of the birth outcome or situation you will manage it and stay in control.
I love Pregnancy Relaxation class.
Each session flies but by the end I feel rejuvenated and relaxed. Kelly is so tuned into everyone's needs and no question is too simple or silly.
