A Calm Space is a childbirth education, yoga and hypnobirthing practice in Witherlea, Blenheim, run by Andi Stringer. It is a one-stop shop for childbirth education, yoga and hypnobirthing courses, with hypnobirthing in Blenheim and online across New Zealand. The website describes prenatal yoga and mums and bubs yoga, and the Positive Birth Program, which uses deep relaxation, visualisation, massage, breathing, self-hypnosis and evidence-based information about birth. We hear Andi is taking a break from teaching hypnobirthing in 2026, and the website invites people to email about future offerings.
Customers describe the hypnobirthing course as transformative, giving knowledge, confidence and a deep sense of empowerment. Partners and parents say the course gave them a great deal, and one says the birth they had hoped for went as they wished, with the support they had prepared for. Customers also praise the yoga classes, the calm space and the knowledgeable instructor. Reviews mention the community of women in prenatal and mums and bubs classes.
