What is HypnoBirthing®?

HypnoBirthing® is a must for any woman seeking a gentle, safe, normal and natural birthing method for herself and her baby. It is a complete birth education programme, that teaches simple but specific self hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques for a better birth. HypnoBirthing® is much more than just self hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth.

With HypnoBirthing®, you'll discover that severe pain does not have to go hand in hand with labour. You'll learn how to release the fears and anxieties you may have about giving birth, and how to overcome any previous traumatic births allowing you to experience the joy and magic of birth - rather than it being the kind of dreadful experience many people seem all too eager to tell you about.

HypnoBirthing® doesn't mean you'll be in a trance or a sleep. Instead, you'll be able to chat, and be and in good spirits - totally relaxed, but fully in control. You'll always be aware of what is happening to you, and around you.

You don’t need any particular belief or even previous experience. Some of our mums (and especially their husbands!) have been very sceptical at first - until they experience it for themselves. Most importantly, you'll learn how to remain in control of your labour and birth - rather than blindly turning your birthing experience over to medical staff unnecessarily.

All the above means that mums enter their labour and birth experience peacefully, confidently, calmly and fully in control – totally equipped to ensure the birth they want.
