HypnoBirthing

HypnoBirthingÒ is a complete antenatal program that can enable the birthing mother to have a calm, comfortable and natural birth. It returns the art of birthing to the mother, so that she can summon her natural birthing instincts and birth her baby safely and easily. HypnoBirthingÒ classes focus on teaching and practicing techniques that assist in a calm and comfortable birth. The techniques used include; breathing, visualization, anchoring and self-hypnosis. These classes also empower individuals and couples by giving them essential information so that they can make appropriate choices leading up to, during and after the birth.

Using HypnoBirthingÒ can dramatically reduce; the length of first stage labour, the use of pain relief medication and the need for episiotomy. Babies who are born to mothers who use these techniques tend to; be calm, feed easily, and sleep well. This process promotes bonding between the baby and the birthing couple and also gives the birthing partner an integral role during the birth.

This is an informal, inspiring and empowering course that enables pregnant women and their birth partners to feel excited about the birth of their baby and helps them achieve a fear-free, calm, comfortable and positive birth experience.

You can read comments and experiences of couples who have recently been on our HypnoBirthing Course on our Client's Comments page.

What is it?

You will learn how to reach a deeply relaxed state through gentle breathing, light-touch massage, guided imagery and visualisations. By choosing to be in this naturally induced state of relaxation you will be working with your body’s own natural pain relieving hormones to ensure a comfortable birth experience. With HypnoBirthing, you will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.

This group course is taught in five weekly sessions of 2.5-3 hours. The course is really informal and good fun. It is also a lovely way to meet other couples.

Testimonial

It has been almost 5 months since I had my baby girl. I have since met a lot of mothers and heard a lot of stories about birth. After my experience with Hypno –birthing, I would just like to say that i would strongly recommend the classes to all pregnant women.

The workshops are very relaxed but also very informative and structured, filled with educational videos and comprehensive handouts
.
I knew what I was signing up to but my partner was very sceptical. Now he acknowledges its benefits and was happy with the guidance and structured approach, overall he enjoyed the whole experience.

Personally, the course gave me the invaluable knowledge of what is possible and what choices I had when it came to the birth of my child and that it emphasised the point that every woman should have peaceful and respectful environment in which she can bring a child into this world.

My birth was calm and undisturbed, with little intervention by medical staff, I got the water birth I requested and was able to bring my daughter into the world in harmony with the rhythm of nature.

My daughter Matylda is a very happy and easy going baby and as her first minutes in this world very peaceful, she is a calm and easily content baby.

Onie, thank you very much for all the excellent class and the experience and confidence it gave me!
