The Advantages of HypnoBirthing®

Although HypnoBirthing involves specialised relaxation techniques it is much more than just self hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth. In fact following a course in HypnoBirthing is a complete childbirth education.

Classes involve an education in the physiology of childbirth including the natural hormonal changes during the different stages of labour. We will cover but not dwell on the special circumstances in which intervention maybe required. We encourage active birthing and you'll be pleased to hear that HypnoBirthing complements the positions for birthing you may learn in antenatal yoga classes.

Why HypnoBirthing is different to other childbirth education classes:

  • Our philosophy is that severe pain does not need to accompany childbirth
  • Releases the fears and anxieties you may currently have about giving birth
  • Visualisations as well as videos of wonderfully peaceful births, will gradually replace any negative images of birth
  • We teach a specialist massage technique to promote the release of endorphins during birthing
  • Creates a special role for your birthing partner who will learn how to protect the Mum and her birthing environment
  • Teaches breathing techniques for different phases of labour that help the birth progress easily and naturally
  • Massively reduces the need for any medication at all
  • Reduces your risk of needing an episiotomy during birth with a simple massage technique
  • Be confident and informed when dealing with medical staff
  • Bring about your own easy start of labour should you wish to do so with simple, natural techniques
  • Heathy eating habits during pregnancy
  • Most importantly, you'll know how to relax and stay calm and in control - regardless of what's happening around you

    • In short, HypnoBirthing allows you to experience birth in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the birthing muscles of your body from functioning as Nature intended them to. Learn to trust your body!

    Plus, as well as the classes themselves, you'll receive a text book "HypnoBirthing : A Celebration Of Life", an affirmations and relaxation CD set, and weekly handouts, all included in the price.
