Why Hypnobirthing Exists
Hypnobirthing is an option for your childbirth education, which is designed to help expectant parents relax more during pregnancy, helping to lower fear, tension, and anxiety. Instead using hypnobirthing, you will gain better control, focus, and a closer connection with yourself, your partner, your body, and your baby.
The one-on-one hypnobirthing sessions with me, evolve and adapt with your pregnancy, helping you build confidence and focus on your birth vision. Many parents find the ongoing support comforting, with sessions available up to 38 weeks if preferred. My courses are often chosen by parents alongside other larger group courses such as Bump and Baby or NCT for a more personal and nurturing approach.
What to expect;
Reducing Fear and Anxiety: Hypnobirthing aims to alleviate the fear and anxiety often associated with childbirth. Using logical education, releasing worries in a space held by me and practicing relaxation techniques. When we understand the mind, body connection it helps parents to feel more in control and less fearful of the birthing process.
Promoting Relaxation: My course teaches you deep relaxation techniques that can help reduce stress and tension during pregnancy and labour. This increase in confidence and relaxation can lead to a more comfortable and efficient birthing experience for all.
Empowering Parents: Hypnobirthing courses with me, encourage you as parents to take an active role in your birthing experience. It provides you with a deeper knowledge about the birthing process, learning things you wouldnt have been told before. Helping you to have the tools to make informed decisions and choices so you feel empowered during labor.

FAQS
Does Hypnobirthing really work?
Yes, it really does work! During labour, your body produces a wonderful natural hormone called oxytocin, we call it the love hormone. Oxytocin is what is released during lovemaking and also this same hormone helps progress your labour (they say what gets baby in, gets baby out!) Stress hormones affect the production of oxytocin and can make your labour longer but, hypnobirthing can help you manage stress hormones, such as adrenalin, and reduce anxiety, which leads to a calmer birth. We give you and your birth partner the skills to cope and tools that will benefit you during labour and birth.
Can I use hypnobirthing in a labour ward?
You can use Hypnobirthing however and wherever you give birth – in a hospital, labour ward, theatre, birth centre, or at home. Mothers are relaxed it has been shown to make labour shorter and the need for drugs and interventions less likely. If interventions do arise then hypnobirthing is said to help the healing as there is less tension in the muscles and tissues, this in turn aids the bonding process with your baby.
Does the course cover post birth?
Yes, my course covers an introduction into mindful breastfeeding, how to prepare in the best way which you can read more around here and what to expect. We discuss how relaxation can benefit you at this time as hypnobirthing benefits you after birth too, with some evidence showing that it can lower the chance of postnatal depression. It can increase confidence, lower anxiety and allow you to move on with your postpartum more clearly and freely with the tools learnt.
Can i use Hypnobirthing with a Cesarean?
This is SO important. Let’s clarify, we aren’t using hypnobirthing techniques just for the preparation of what is considered ‘a natural birth’ as we cannot fully prepare for our birth outcome. We are taking all of the tools and skills learnt as they will benefit any circumstance and will help you to create a positive experience. I work with a lot of couples who are preparing for a cesarean and or just want to be calm and relaxed no matter how they birth. I concentrate on explaining your rights as parents and helping you to understand your choices with where you decide to give birth and how you wish your birth to be.
Will it guarantee a particular birth?
Practising hypnobirthing does not mean unexpected things won’t happen. A birth free from medical interventions or complications can never be guaranteed. However, learning to relax and stay calm will absolutely help you feel more in control during labour if things don’t go to plan and having a clear understanding of the physiological women’s body will also assist
