Hypnobirthing – The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme

Liz teaches The Wise Hippo Hypnobirthing Programme, a practical, down-to-earth course that uses self-hypnosis, breathing, and deep relaxation techniques to help expectant parents feel calm, confident, and in control during labour and birth.

The core philosophy is centred around achieving the right birth on the day—whatever that may look like for each parent and baby. While the programme equips you with the tools for a positive, calm birth experience, it also helps you stay grounded and empowered if your birth plan needs to adapt on the day.

Liz offers the course in two formats:

  • A full 4-session programme

  • A compact 2-session version (a popular choice for busy parents)

Ideal for:
✔️ First-time or returning parents
✔️ Reducing fear and anxiety around birth
✔️ Building calm and confidence through practical tools
✔️ Preparing partners to feel involved and supportive
✔️ Navigating unexpected changes in the birth journey

Baby Massage Instruction

Baby massage is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years, grounded in the power of gentle, nurturing touch. Liz offers a 5-week course that teaches caregivers how to confidently massage their baby in a calm, supportive, and baby-led environment.

Each week, caregivers learn how to massage a different part of the baby’s body—culminating in a full body routine by week five. Organic sunflower oil is provided (if suitable for the baby’s skin), and sessions are always guided by the baby’s comfort. Feeding, soothing, and breaks are welcome to ensure a peaceful experience for both parent and child.

Massage supports a baby’s physical, emotional, and social development by encouraging bonding, stimulating circulation and digestion, and promoting relaxation and trust. Caregivers are given handouts so they can continue the practice at home.

Ideal for:
✔️ Strengthening parent–baby bonds
✔️ Supporting sleep and relaxation
✔️ Soothing colic, wind, and teething discomfort
✔️ Enhancing motor skills and coordination
✔️ Building communication and emotional connection
