COVID RESTRICTIONS NOTICE

Due to covid restrictions my face-to-face antenatal classes have been replaced with an online version.
These have proved very successful over the year and cover all the same content as my in-person classes.
(There is also a reduced fee for the online versions.)

Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Classes

Birth can be a positive experience.

Pregnancy and birth can be times of worry and anxiety for women. In the current situation of Covid-19 the anxiety around is palpable. As face to face hospital classes are cancelled and partners cannot be with the labouring women all the time it is even more important that women are informed going into labour and birth.
I am ready to offer my classes face to face as soon as restrictions allow. In the meantime I am doing my courses on Zoom. These courses are interactive and I keep the classes small so all the learners needs can be met. If you are interested please fill out the booking form as normal or you can call or email me with any questions - sarah@birthlogic.ie or 087-9625544

Who am I?

I am a midwife and antenatal teacher, a hypnobirthing teacher, a mother (my name is Sarah McCann and I'm a bit of a 'birth junkie!')

I am currently working in a Dublin maternity hospital and I have experience in all 3 Dublin maternity hospitals. I trained as an antenatal teacher with the parent support group - Cuidiu and I have been teaching antenatal classes for 14 years. I trained as a hypnobirthing teacher with Judith Flood on a Royal College of Midwives approved hypnobirthing course and I have been teaching hypnobirthing for the hospital for the last 5 years. I am also a mother to 4 grown ups!

I am passionate about birth and assisting women to have a positive birth experience. In order to have this I believe that women and their partners need to prepare, have access to evidence based information and trust their care providers.

Partial or full refund

As I am a midwife many health insurance policies allow for a partial or a full refund for my classes, depending on the policy.

Interesting articles, audio clips etc.

Some lovely feedback about my hypnobirthing course: "This course has made a huge difference to my outlook on the birthing journey. I thought it was something to get over and done with, a necessary evil, but now it feels much more like an experience that will be challenging but fulfilling. The role of the partner was really informative and I feel reassured that my partner will have sucn an integral role to play. That's very comforting to me. Thanks Sarah"

I've been asked countless times to do recordings of the scripts that I read out in class and finally........Thanks to my son Ross - he recorded me reading the scripts and has uploaded them. Thank you to Judith Flood for permission to upload the recordings of her scripts. You can find them at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe2y35RE5KyyQtxwwCjBNUg
