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 preparation packed with practical, realistic tools for both you and your partner, you are in the right place.
Birth Positively's approach is all about helping you feel informed, confident and calm as you prepare for birth — without the overwhelm or unrealistic expectations.
Together, we’ll explore what you can actually expect, learn practical tools you can use during labour, and build the confidence to approach birth feeling prepared, empowered and ready for whatever comes your way.
But what actually is hypnobirthing?
Unfortunately, it doesn't involve someone clicking their fingers and presenting you with your baby- if only!
Hypnobirthing is all about understanding what’s really going on during birth — how your body works, the hormones involved, and how your mind can influence the way you experience labour.
You’ll learn simple, practical techniques using breathing, relaxation and positive language to help you feel calm, focused and more in control.
Hypnobirthing focuses on understanding how your brain and body work together, so you can start to let go of fear and worry and feel more positive, confident and excited about meeting your baby.
About Me
Hi I'm Kelly!
I am a 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 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 over 100 couples and am passionate in supporting them 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.
