WHAT IS HYPNOBIRTHING?

Hypnobirthing is a wonderful practice based on logic and science. It helps to prepare you for a positive and empowering labour experience through a number of ways:

​

  • Teaching you the power of the mind in pregnancy and labour, and how to work with it

  • The importance of your breath, and how to use it to your advantage

  • Understanding what is happening physically to your body during pregnancy and in labour, so you can work with your body, rather than against it

  • Working with your fears so your body and mind can release 

​

The best thing about hypnobirthing is that it is made up of simple actions, but with practice can have a huge impact on your birthing experience, making it a positive experience for you, your birth partner and your baby. 

​

Hypnobirthing works for everybody and for all types of births. It allows you to work with your body and mind, to feel calm, confident and empowered. 

​

Hypnobirthing is really special because it emphasis the importance of the birth partner's role during pregnancy and labour. Hypnobirthing focuses on giving the birth partner confidence in their role, and knowing how to support the mother during labour.
