HypnoBirthing® is more than just a technique; it is a philosophy and a way of giving the power and control of birthing back to where it should be - to parents. It is an education programme that will teach you techniques for relaxation using self-hypnosis, visualisations, special breathing techniques and much more. These techniques together with the philosophy and support of the programme will eliminate or greatly reduce the need for pain relief in childbirth.

 

With HypnoBirthing®, you will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed. HypnoBirthing® will teach you the art of using your own natural birthing instincts.

 

 

 

The classes can be either in a small group or on a 1-2-1 basis.

The HypnoBirthing® Programme consists of 12 hours of carefully developed material. Classes are run either over four 2½ - 3 hour sessions as set out by the HypnoBirthing Institute.

 

They are suitable at almost any stage of pregnancy. It is never too early or late to start. The sessions give parents the opportunity to practice the techniques in between classes. “Top up' sessions or hypnotherapy sessions to deal with specific issues around childbirth are also available.

 

The classes themselves are small and have

the capacity for up to 4 mothers and their birth

companions’s

 

Included in each course:

 

 

Safer, happier, calmer birthing

 

In the classes you will learn and practice many techniques for

a safer, happier, calmer birthing experience which will include:

understanding how fear affects labour and causes pain, breathing techniques for each stage of birth, deep relaxation techniques, light touch massage, visualisations, birth preferences, and using your natural birthing instincts to birth your baby in the way that nature intended.

 

We can't promise you a 'perfect' birth - no one can - but we can promise you a much, much more comfortable and relaxed birth than you would have had otherwise.
