What is Hypnobirthing?
You may be surprised to hear that you enter a state of hypnosis at least once a day without you even realising it so hypnobirthing really isn't as whacky and whoo as it sounds.
​
It's not about giving birth in the woods with the trees swaying and the deer grazing next to you..... Although that does sound lovely.
Hypnobirthing is about giving you the knowledge, tools, support and the confidence to have a positive birth regardless of how you plan to give birth.
The techniques you will learn in my classes are all versatile so can be used even if you are having a caesarean section or being induced.
​
Maybe you shared your happy and exciting pregnancy news with your family, friends and possibly your work colleagues and heard nothing but negative birth stories in return? So annoying isn't it!Have those negative stories, TV programmes or films featuring labour or images on birth made you worried about your own birth?
​
Would you like to learn some techniques to help you have a positive labour, regardless of how you plan or end up giving birth?
Maybe you would like to learn how to release any fear or anxiety surrounding the birth of your baby, or may you would like to simply learn more about the process of labour and how you can relax your mind and body.
Would you get married without planning for
the best day ever? NO!
Would you go on holiday without planning it first?
NO!
So the same applies for birth. The biggest moment
in your life is when you welcome your new baby
into the world so it definitely deserves some
thought and some planning to.
There are so many benefits from hypnobirthing, not just for mum-to-be, but for baby and
birth partners to.
In both of the classes I run I will teach you:-
​
-
The basic physiology of birth
-
The positive belief that giving birth can be the most wonderful experience
-
To look forward optimistically to a gentle, safe, calm comfortable and stress-free birth
-
How to release any fears that may in some way be associated with childbirth
-
How to relax deeply and quickly using breathing techniques, visualisations and deep relaxation
-
How to stay calm, relaxed and in control throughout your labour
-
How to promote the production of your birthing hormones
-
How to prepare your birth preferences so that you can be better informed and be aware of your options
-
The knowledge and power to navigate birth should you require intervention or assistance
-
Positions to help you birth your baby more easily and comfortably
-
Breathing techniques that work with your body to maximise your body’s own natural expulsive reflex.
and so much more ….
If this sounds like something you would like to know more about please do get in touch as I would love ​to chat to you.
​
The birth of your baby isn't something you need to fear. It should be the most powerful and rewarding day of your life and I will provide you with the techniques to over come these feelings of anxiety.
