Hypnobirthing

Giving pregnant women the confidence and techniques for a controlled, easier labour and childbirth

I offer courses in hypnobirthing using the easibirthing® method. Each course comprises five sessions of an hour and a half which are tailored for pregnant women and their birthing partner, whether that’s a husband, wife, relative or friend.

Giving birth should be one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives. Childbirth is a natural physiological process that a woman’s body is fully equipped for. Each birth is unique, and easibirthing® is about empowering you to manage your individual experience, not fear it.

I can teach you to use self-hypnosis, relaxation, visualisation and breathing methods to prepare your mind and body for a natural birth. Learning hypnosis techniques for pain management skills will help you build your trust in your body so you enter labour feeling calm, confident and in control.patek philippe fakes watch

The course will help you maintain a state of deep relaxation, a feeling of control over the process and help you develop a positive attitude.

The easibirthing® method seeks to enable you to have the active birth you want. So, whether you are planning a home birth or birthing in hospital, this training is designed to suit you.

Parents who feel empowered by using these techniques have reported a more positive birthing experience which has enabled a stronger bond between mother, partner and baby.

easibirthing® is completely safe and will have optimal benefits from 20 weeks gestation.

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HYPNOBIRTHING?
