Let’s start by dispelling the myth that hypnobirthing is all about hypnosis.
Hypnobirthing is logical, gentle and profound. It will empower you to nurture yourself during pregnancy, to relax, and to trust your body and your baby. The programmes will teach you and your birth partner simple but specific deep relaxation, massage, and breathing techniques for a better birth. You’ll find no mumbo jumbo, sitting cross-legged and hippie chanting here! Instead, you will learn scientifically-proven relaxation techniques, coupled with expert information.
Whereas some more traditional antenatal courses prepare you for birth by providing you with information, what I see lacking time and time again are the techniques to support a calm birth. It’s a bit like a recipe which gives you the ingredients but misses out the method!
The combination of deep relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and visualization combined with positive thoughts and language will reduce your fear, stress, and anxiety resulting in a much calmer, comfortable birth.
You and your birth partner will learn how to put yourselves back in control of your birth. You will be equipped with the tools to navigate the twists and turns of your labour and birth in a way that leaves you feeling calm, confident and relaxed.
Hypnobirthing doesn’t promise you a ‘perfect birth’, but it will give you the ‘best birth on the day’ for you and your baby, and you will be leaving my workshops or birthing programme with the ability to create a positive birth experience
So first things first. If you have landed on my website looking for an old style run of the mill hypnobirthing course, one that promises a ‘perfect birth’ if you do as I say, then this is the wrong place for you!
I want your pregnancy journey to be as amazing as it possibly can be, whilst acknowledging that life can throw us curve balls sometimes, so I want you to know how to handle those too.
Why my courses are different
Although I’m trained in several different hypnobirthing methods, I’ve chosen to follow The Wise Hippo approach. That’s because The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme is easy to learn, very effective and I’ve had excellent feedback from my clients, so I know I am recommending the very best programme to you!
