HypnoBirthing gives you a toolbox of techniques which puts you back in control of your birth rather than turning your birthing experience over to your doctor or midwife.
With HypnoBirthing, you won't be in a trance or asleep but will be fully aware of what is happening to you and around you. You will be in full control, able to chat, relax or whatever you choose.
HypnoBirthing allows you to experience birth in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevent your birthing muscles from functioning as Nature intended them to.

Why is HypnoBirthing so good?
Here are some of the things you’ll learn that are not covered in most antenatal classes.
-
Breathing techniques that actually help the birth (and it's not the panting that most people think they have to do. Why would anyone want to hyperventilate during labour?)
-
How to significantly reduce the need for medication
-
How to reduce your risk of needing an episiotomy or tearing during childbirth
-
How to be confident and informed when dealing with medical staff - when to question, what to ask and when it's time to let them take charge
-
How to release any fears you might have about childbirth
-
How to bring about your own easy start of labour with simple, natural techniques, if you go beyond your "due date"
-
How to relax and stay calm and in control, regardless of what’s happening around you.
HypnoBirthing is a specifically structured antenatal programme that teaches you about the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of birth. You’ll learn why your body does what it does, as well as how it does it.
-
Significantly fewer surgical births*
-
High number of comfortable natural births with no technological assistance*
-
A high rate of success in assisting breech-presented babies to turn into appropriate birthing position with the use of posture and hypnosis*
-
Highly energised mums in good spirits following births that are calm and gently
-
Once you’ve learned the techniques for this birth, you can use them again and again for future births.
You can use the techniques to help calm and relax yourself any time you feel stressed out - at home, at work, during interviews, social situations etc.
What you'll learn through HypnoBirthing is how you can confidently approach a safe, easier and more comfortable natural birth.
We can't promise you a 'perfect' birth - no one can - but we can help you have a much more comfortable and relaxed birth.
