Private Antenatal Workshops

Sometimes a group antenatal course isn’t the right fit. Perhaps the timing doesn’t work, you’d prefer a more personal experience, you have specific questions you want answered, or you simply want the undivided attention of someone with real birth experience. That’s exactly what a private antenatal workshop with me offers.

I’m Vicki Wilkinson, a practising birth doula and antenatal teacher with over 12 years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of parenthood across Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire. My private workshops are completely tailored to you, your due date, your birth preferences, your questions, and your anxieties - delivered at a time and pace that suits you.

What we cover

Each private workshop runs for approximately three hours and can be shaped around whatever matters most to you. Topics can include:

Where you’d like to give birth and what your options are, your birth rights and how to navigate the maternity system, comfort measures in labour including natural and medical pain relief, creating your birth environment, hypnobirthing and breathing techniques, the role of your birth partner, what happens if your birth doesn’t go to plan, postnatal recovery, infant feeding, newborn care, and newborn sleep including creating a safe sleep environment.

If there are topics you particularly want to focus on, or things you’d rather skip just let me know when you get in touch. This is your session.

What’s included

• A three-hour bespoke workshop for you and your birth partner
• Electronic handouts and videos to keep after the session
• Access to my birth planning template
• Space to ask every question you’ve been storing up

Investment £180 per couple

Ideal to book from around 28 weeks of pregnancy, though I’m happy to work around your timeline if you’re closer to your due date.

How it’s delivered

Private workshops can be delivered in person at your home (within 20 miles of NN4) covering Northampton, Towcester, Daventry, Brackley, Buckingham, Milton Keynes and surrounding villages. If you’re slightly further afield, please get in touch as I may still be able to help. Sessions are also available online via Zoom, which is ideal if you’re based further away or simply prefer the flexibility.

Is a private workshop right for you?

A private workshop might be the perfect choice if you’ve missed the window for a group course, you’re expecting twins or have a more complex pregnancy, you’ve had a previous difficult birth experience and want dedicated space to process that and prepare, you want something more flexible than a fixed weekly course, or you simply prefer a more personal, one-to-one approach.
