• Hypnobirthing is an approach or mindset to pregnancy and the birth experience which teaches breathing and relaxation techniques.

    The understanding taught throughout the hypnobirthing enables the women to address and overcome any fears.

    This will increase confidence in themselves and their bodies’ meaning they will feel calm which will help the birth experience to be more comfortable. Hypnobirthing is suited for all birth experiences – homebirth, induction, caesarean.

  • You’ll learn everything you need to know about labour, birth and the immediate period after birth. This includes the options available to you and your birth partner.

    A variety of techniques will be taught such as breathing exercises, deep relaxations and visualisations - all forming a toolkit to help you during your birthing experience. Upon completion of the course, you will have an appreciation of how the mind and body work together.

  • You can start hypnobirthing classes at anytime after 20 weeks pregnant. Most women start classes between 26-32 weeks as they have a good amount of time to practice the techniques. Its never too late to start classes, women can still benefit from two or three weeks of practice.

  • No, its your birth and your choice. It is great to have one if there is someone with you for support physically and emotionally. This can be a partner, family member, friend or a professional birth partner for example a doula.

    We actively encourage birth partners to be involved in hypnobirthing to teach them how to support you throughout the birth experience and understand what is happening, but the decision is up to you.
