One for mum-to-be at the start of pregnancy
The Better Birth Companion is a personalised virtual five-step toolkit for parents-to-be, aiming to train the body and mind for labour. Coming from well established Natal Hypnotherapy founder Maggie Howell, this book will be ideal for mums looking for a more relaxed birth with less intervention. Buy at the start of pregnancy instead of spending nine months brooding upon the prospect of potential pain at the end of it.
The incredibly popular and world renowned obstetrician, Michel Odent, says:“This book is more than a guide book. It is a book about human nature with the Natal Hypnotherapy techniques helping to undo thousands of years of cultural conditioning.”
When you finally find yourself sitting in the birthing suite at the start of the roller-coaster of childbirth, you will be glad you read the techniques for deep relaxation and breathing. If you manage to get this right, those final pushes at the end will hurt a lot less.
The ‘Better Birth Companion’ includes book ‘Effective Birth Preparation – a practical guide to a better birth’ (£8.99) and a ‘Birth Preparation’ CD (£11.99)

One for their first day at school
No youngster can fail to be delighted at featuring in their very own storybook. The Back to School with Peppa Pig is a personalised book where children can join Peppa Pig and her friends as they go to school. Ordered online, parents just add their child’s name and then personalise the illustration including personal appearance and whether the setting is a school, nursery or playgroup. Parents can even add a personal message for the first page.
