Welcome
We are Zoe and Maria and we are the founders of About Little Humans.
During our pregnancies, we both felt lost and overwhelmed with the amount of information around pregnancy and birth. We spent hours researching to answer questions that we had and came across hypnobirthing, which changed our lives. We suddenly found ourselves excited to give birth and we experienced the most calm and unforgettable births.
Soon after, we trained and are now Royal College of Midwives (UK) accredited hypnobirthing teachers. We have put together hours of training, research, reading of medical articles and statistical studies into this unique online course format which combines antenatal preparation with hypnobirthing and we also share with you information that we think expectant parents should be aware of. We make it easy, fun and interesting and we keep your cost low. Our Birth Ready pack includes a series of short videos that you can watch at your own time and from the comfort of your home in order to prepare for labour and birth.
We are on a mission to give easy access to every parent to important information and facts around labour and birth (even the things they don't always tell us!) and to show birth partners that their role in labour is important, how to gain control and be actively involved. We want to make your pregnancy journey an exciting one, look forward to giving birth and meeting your baby. Your little human deserves calm and confident parents.

Testimonial from Leah
"Before hearing about the hypnobirthing course offered by About Little Humans, I felt completely scared and anxious about giving birth.
I had a lot of negative feelings and kept thinking about the worst possible scenarios. I was also doubting myself and kept thinking that I would not be able to handle the pain and that I would go in asking for medical interventions straight away.
I completed the birth course and found it to be both practically useful and empowering. It provided information that I hadn’t even realised was good to have, which gave me the opportunity to discuss questions with my doctor in a much more informed manner.
The course is very informative and enlightening, I learnt things I didn't know about labour and giving birth and I felt very powerful and actually excited instead of frightened! Along with my birth partner, we practised the hypnobirthing techniques and followed Zoe and Maria's great advice for a positive experience.
In the end, my birth didn't go exactly how I planned or imagined, however I was very proud of myself for how I dealt with it and I don't think I would change it!
Both my birth partner and I felt confident and powerful and handled each step calmly and positively.
I surprised myself by how strong I was on the day and I know that the hypnobirthing course has a lot to do with that!
I highly recommend it to all women out there, who are naturally afraid and anxious.
Giving birth should be a positive and exciting experience and if you believe it, it can be!"
Testimonial from Chloe
"This birth preparation course was honestly such a game changer for Michael and me.
We loved how easy it was to follow. The short videos, broken up into bite-sized topics, made it super manageable to do together.
Even though we were planning a homebirth, I really appreciated that it covered all types of birth and interventions.
It helped me and my partner feel informed and confident no matter how things unfolded.
In the end, we didn’t get the homebirth we’d hoped for and had an emergency c-section, but I’m so glad we had the course.
It supported me through pregnancy and gave us tools to make decisions when everything changed.
Zoe and Maria are so kind and knowledgeable. They explain things in such a simple, reassuring way.
So grateful we did this!"
Testimonial from Nasia
"The mode of delivery was very easy to follow and it helped that the two instructors had personal experiences that they were drawing from in the examples they were giving.
I would definitely recommend this to first-time mums, but also to those (like me) who had a premature labour for their first child and didn’t have the opportunity to educate themselves the first time round."
