Your birth, Your body – Free Masterclass & MP3
This free masterclass is designed for English-speaking women giving birth in the Netherlands. In less than an hour, you’ll understand how your body works during the birthing process.

What you’ll learn in the masterclass
In this time together, we cover what actually happens in your body during labour, not the clinical version, but the version that helps you stop fearing it. We talk about the role of your nervous system, why tension makes labour harder and how to work with your body instead of against it. I share my three golden tips for a calm, conscious birth, and you’ll leave with a clear sense of what hypnobirthing is and whether the full course is right for you and your partner.

This hypnobirthing masterclass is for you if..
You’re pregnant in the Netherlands and feeling uncertain about the birth system here. You want to feel genuinely prepared, not just informed. You’re a little (or a lot) afraid of birth and want to understand where that fear comes from. Your partner wants to support you but isn’t sure how. Or you’re simply curious about hypnobirthing and want to try before you commit to a full course.
What others say
“I was able to relax through it very well with the help of the scripts and the anchors and was very relaxed. We are really incredibly grateful for everything you taught us and all the materials we got. It has been such a nice experience, and the fact that I have not been scared or nervous for a second is really great. All the practice has definitely been worth it.”
— mother, Utrecht
“The birth process went very consciously, with a lot of calm. With reflection, space to make my own choices and more of a sense of control. Thank you so much for this.”
— mother, Utrecht
About Marise
I’m Marise, a complementary therapist and certified Hypnobirthing Teacher, originally trained in the UK. I’ve been supporting women and couples through pregnancy and birth in the Netherlands for over ten years, in English, Dutch, and everything in between.
What makes this course different: it’s built for the Dutch birth system. Home birth, midwife-led care, the role of the kraamverzorgster, what to expect when things don’t go to plan, it’s all in here. Because knowing your environment is part of feeling ready for birth.
