What is hypnobirthing and how can it help you?

Hypnobirthing provides a practical and logical approach to birth. It will enable you and your birth partner to release any fears you may have surrounding birth and replace these fears with a calm confidence. The course I offer is made up of different elements including practical information, deep relaxation scripts and "tools" such as breathing and visualisations to help you relax; that, when put together, and practiced, can make a huge difference to your pregnancy and birth. 

Benefits to you, your birth partner and your baby.

You; hypnobirthing will enable you to work with your body and embrace the fact that it is naturally designed to give birth. It will leave you feeling empowered and prepared to birth your baby. Hypnobirthing will give you the tools to remain calm during your labour and, if a woman is calm and relaxed, as nature intended, the muscles in the uterus will work more effectively. 

Your birth partner; hypnobirthing will enable your birth partner to feel incredibly involved in the run up to and actual birth of your baby. A birth partner can use the tools they have learnt during this course to make the mother feel safe and secure, which will in turn raise her oxytocin levels during labour. A birth partner who is well informed and knows their importance and role is a massive asset to the room. 

Your baby; hypnobirthing will benefit your baby long before it enters the world. This course will connect you as a couple through shared learning and practice which will in turn, create a strong connection for parents to their baby. The calmer the mother is throughout pregnancy and labour, the calmer she is likely to be in recovery leading to baby feeling calm and settled.
