What is HypnoBirthing®?
HypnoBirthing® is a complete childbirth education programme which teaches simple but tailored self hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques.
HypnoBirthing® is much more than just self hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth.
- With HypnoBirthing® you’ll learn why labour hurts and why it doesn’t have to. Pain does not have to be an accompaniment to labour.
- You’ll learn to release any anxieties or fears you have about giving birth and learn how to overcome previous traumatic births.
- HypnoBirthing® allows you to discover the magic of giving birth rather than the horror stories so frequently shared whether you want to hear them or not!
Most importantly HypnoBirthing® allows you to be in control of your birth rather than handing over your birth experience to medical professionals.
HypnoBirthing® does not mean that you will be asleep, in a trance, or in any way absent from your birth experience. You will be able to chat and will be in good spirits, totally relaxed, but fully in control and in tune with your birthing body.
HypnoBirthing does not require any particular belief system or any prior knowledge or experience of hypnosis. Some mums (and more particularly their husbands!) have been very sceptical at first – until they experience it for themselves.
In fact the more sceptical they are the more evangelical they are when they discover the power of HypnoBirthing®
Imagine welcoming each surge and even smiling, as your baby comes closer to you. Imagine feeling relaxed and peaceful, free of the fear and tension that prevents your birthing muscles from working in the way nature intended them to.
