What is HypnoBirthing®?

Teaching techniques for a safe, relaxed, more comfortable and calm birthing through guided imagery, visualisation and special breathing.

HypnoBirthing® is taught worldwide and has been in existence for over 18 years. A complete birth education programme, it teaches the basics of how natural birthing unfolds and is carried out over 5 x 2.5 hour classes. At the heart of the teaching is the principle that a relaxed birth is a rewarding birth. Simple but effective self-hypnosis, relaxation and breathing excercises are taught. HypnoBirthing® does not mean that you will be in a trance or asleep. Rather you will be able to chat and be in good spirits—totally relaxed but fully in control. You will always be aware of what is happening during your birth.

 

Birthing companions are a very important part of HypnoBirthing® success.

 

However, if your partner/husband cannot attend all the classes and/or help you practice or attend the birth, your mother, sister or friend can also be your birthing companion. Whoever you choose, and we strongly recommend it’s the father if at all possible as it helps build a strong relationship with the child, they must attend all the classes and the birth.
