Let’s start with what hypnobirthing is not!
Hypnobirthing might sound a bit out there at first, but it’s really not about hypnosis in the way you might imagine.
There won’t be any swinging pocket watches or mind control tricks.
Instead, it’s a practice that focuses on relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and positive affirmations to help make childbirth a more calm and empowering experience.
It’s perfectly normal to feel sceptical, but rest assured, my courses are down-to-earth and practical, aiming to provide you and your partner with useful tools to support the birthing process.
So what is hypnobirthing?
It is rational, logical and scientific birth preparation!
My comprehensive antenatal courses equip you and your birth partner for every stage of labour, from the initial twinges to delivering the placenta.
Gain a deep understanding of contractions and the physiological processes of labour. Learn effective pain management techniques and harness the power of self-hypnosis to remain calm and in control throughout your birthing experience.
Is hypnobirthing just for home births?
Hypnobirthing is for any type of birth, It’s not just for those who want to give birth without pain relief and it certainly isn’t just about breathing techniques. I have taught expectant couples who have used all of the techniques during the following scenarios to help them stay calm and feel in control during labour:
✨Induced births
✨High-risk pregnancies (e.g. IVF, gestation diabetes)
✨Caesarean Sections
