HypnoBirthing®
Feeling anxious about birth? HypnoBirthing® can change that. By working with your body's natural ability to give birth calmly and comfortably, it transforms fear into confidence, to help you feel prepared, empowered and in control.
HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method
HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is based on the simple premise that birth is a natural, normal and human experience and women’s bodies are created to conceive, nurture and birth.
Developed by Marie Mongan, the founder of the HypnoBirthing Institute in 1985, HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method is considered the original HypnoBirthing approach that all courses have been inspired by. It is taught in over 40 countries worldwide.
What will I learn?
The full HypnoBirthing® course covers everything you need to feel confident and prepared. You'll explore the body's natural birthing physiology, learn self-hypnosis, breathing and visualisation techniques, and develop a birth plan that truly reflects your wishes.
The course is taught privately across four weekly classes of two and a half hours
