Hypnobirthing...taking the fear out of giving birth, empowering you along the way...to make informed choices based on knowledge, information and research not on fear!

Book for Hypnobirthing classes now on a One to One basis or small group classes.

Why choose Hypnobirthing?

Because you will learn how to relax, have fun and learn a lot too!

When the word "Hypnobirthing" first came out a few years ago, many midwives wondered what it was all about, thinking it was a new craze...but really it has always been around it's about going back to basics! Many midwives are amazed at how calm and focused Hypnobirthing mothers and their birth partners are during established labour!

I cannot promise you the perfect birth experience, no one can, however together we can work towards the best birth for you, which often turns out to be better than you could have hoped for and in a more controlled and relaxed manner.

During the Hypnobirthing classes you will learn:

Anatomy & physiology of birthing during labour and birth
The role of hypnosis and how this helps labour and birth
The role of fear in the birthing environment and how to eliminate it
Relaxation, massage and visualisation techniques.
How to be confident and assertive with your care givers
How to design your birth preferences sheet (birth “plan”)
How to keep calm and in control of the situation
Birth partners will be aware and comfortable with their role
Plus much, much more!
