Hypnobirthing and Massage Retreat in Beautiful Beechworth

Pregnancy is such a beautiful and special time in a couples life, take the opportunity to fully emerge yourself in a weekend of embracing together the new life growing within, as you prepare yourselves for your beautiful babies arrival.
The beautiful, picturesque town of Beechworth boosts gorgeous shops, (including a divine baby boutique you won’t be able to resist!) Cafes, beautiful walks and waterfalls, amongst many other attractions.
Make the most of your time here whilst you attend your own personal Hypnobirthing class and indulge in an hour long massage each. Take this time to relax, whilst you gain knowledge and confidence for your birthing day. My hope for every couple is that they will leave Beechworth feeling relaxed, empowered, inspired and prepared for their beautiful birth. 

Cost of Retreat – $620

Retreats include: Private Hypnobirthing Class (A 12 hour course that can be delivered over 2 or 3 days depending on your plans for your weekend)
A luxurious 60 min pregnancy massage for the mama to be
A 60 min relaxation or deep tissue massage, tailored to the needs of the birthing partner
If you have friends who are also expecting a baby and would like a weekend away together, the class can be delivered to both couples at reduced rate.
Beechworth is the home of many wonderful, talented professionals who I can highly recommend to make your weekend that even more special……

Accommodation

I highly recommend Cascades at Beechworth; the location is superb, right of the edge of the beautiful gorge and very close to town. The family who runs the accommodation is a beautiful, local family in Beechworth, who know the area as well as anyone in town. I have complete trust you will be very well cared for.
For information and bookings go to www.cascadesatbeechworth.com.au
There is obviously plenty more accommodation and activities in this beautiful town of Beechworth; these are just some of my favourites. If you need any more information on Beechworth please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will help where I can.
I do recommend that if you are choosing to do some extra activities apart from your Hypnobirthing course and massage, that you stay for at least 3 days, as to make the most of your time here and not feel rushed.
