HYPNOBIRTHING

HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that babies can come into the world gently, in an atmosphere of calm and joy.

I love HypnoBirthing for how it prepared me - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually - for a relaxing, comfortable and empowering birth experience. Through a program of deep relaxation, special breathing techniques, visualisations, affirmations, and education, HypnoBirthing returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby safely and gently.

“Where the mind goes, the body follows”

The HypnoBirthing Advantage

  • Helps to change any limiting thought patterns you have around birth and your ability to birth your baby

  • Often reduces the need for chemical anaesthesia, episiotomy, and other interventions

  • Shortens the thinning and opening phase of labour by hours and allows the birthing mother to utilise the natural pulsations of her body to breathe her baby down to the crowing stage

  • Brings the mother, the baby, and the birthing partner together in a wonderful prenatal, perinatal and postnatal bonding experience

  • The birthing partner is an integral part of the birth experience, not an observer

  • Gentle birth leads to easier emotional and physical postpartum recovery

  • Birthing is returned to a safe, beautiful and peaceful experience
