  • HypnoBirthing is a tried and proven technique, as well as a philosophy that guides and prepares a woman to birth their baby comfortably and calmly.

  • HypnoBirthing is designed for all types of birth, including caesarean sections. At its heart, HypnoBirthing is founded on the belief that birth should be a calm and positive experience, regardless of how it unfolds. The tools and techniques you learn throughout the course: breathing, visualisation and self-hypnosis are just as effective in a theatre as they are in a birth pool, helping you stay relaxed, present and in control however your baby arrives.

  • You will be educated on the physiology of birth–what happens, why and how mother’s bodies have been created to give birth by design; and how fear is the cause of tension and pain in birthing.  

    You will also be taught a toolbox of simple techniques including special breathing and visualisation to help them stay relaxed, and calm during the birthing experience - and beyond.

  • Unlike traditional antenatal classes, which focus primarily on the practical elements of birth and baby care, HypnoBirthing places equal emphasis on the psychological preparation for birth. Through self-hypnosis, breathing and visualisation techniques, parents learn to release fear and tension the two factors most responsible for prolonging labour and increasing the need for pain relief.

    HypnoBirthing also prepares parents for the life-changing transition into parenthood, equipping them with the mindset and tools to make informed, confident decisions about their birth.

  • I think it’s good to be close enough to your due date so information is fresh in your mind, but early enough into your pregnancy to give you time to practice so between 25-30 weeks. If you’d prefer to start earlier, you’re welcome to join after your 20 week scan.

  • Everyone is different, but research has shown that the mind can only learn so much at one time, and because repetition and practice is key to learning it makes sense for the course is taught over four to five sessions, rather than a weekend, or an afternoon or morning.

    Parents I have taught have told me that completing the course over a longer period has allowed them time to absorb and put into practice what they’ve learnt.

    Couples find the course an incredibly bonding experience, and tell me they look forward to having a moment in their week, where they can connect as a couple, and bond over their baby.
