Ruth Sabrosa trained with Maggie Howell in 2011 and taught Natal Hypnotherapy to hundreds of couples before developing her own course. She qualified as a hypnotherapist in 2016 and used her skills and knowledge as a Mother, Birth Companion, Hypnotherapist and qualified Hypnobirthing instructor to create her own complete Hypnobirthing course. It can be taken at any time during pregnancy and is the perfect complement to other antenatal classes you may be attending or it works as a stand alone workshop.
