Practising as a Midwife for 20 years I always noticed women who managed to stay calm and relaxed through birth seemed to have much shorter and easier births. Subsequently, through my training as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and HypnoBirthing Educator I soon understood why remaining calm, and relaxed is so important in achieving the empowering, positive birth experience women long for. Through a combination of relaxation and breathing techniques, self hypnosis and visualization a HypnoBirth Course enables women and their birth companions to experience a calm, relaxed birth followed by the positive memories which will be remembered for the rest of their lives.
