What if birth could be, calm, enjoyable and empowering? Well it can, no matter what type of birth you choose.

 

Hypnobirthing is about harnessing your own abilities, to reach a deep state of relaxation. Providing you with skills & techniques to achieve physical and emotional relaxation, in a nurturing and safe way. Over the duration of the course we will look at your view of birth, and the reality of what really happens, giving you plenty of practical knowledge as well as the confidence to make informed decisions about your birth choices. As with anything, you must be invested and have the desire to work towards the confident empowering birth you dream of, so I ask that outside of our sessions you listen to the recordings, read your affirmations and trust yourself! The hypnobirthing course I deliver follows The Calm Birth School syllabus and provides a complete antenatal preparation course, we'll cover so much in our time together.

You can expect to leave our sessions not only with techniques that will help during labour & birth, but also an understanding of the physiology of birth and how you can take ownership of your birth process. We look at your thoughts surrounding birth, and removing any fear ahead of your labour, this is particularly helpful if you have anxieties or worries about how things will unfold for you. It is helpful to discuss the optimal birth environment and the physiological process to help you understand what is really needed for a positive birth experience.
