What is Hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing is a form of pain management which can be used during birth, and teaches a mixture of relaxation, visualisation, breathing techniques, and self-hypnosis skills.

The aim is a shorter, more comfortable, easier labour, with less need for intervention or pain relief.

Hypnobirthing is suitable for all births and can help you to have a more positive experience.  

How does Hypnobirthing work?

Hypnobirthing focuses on preparing you for birth by reframing the representation of labour from a painful and difficult experience to a more positive one.

Women's experience of labour pain can vary in intensity; but fear, tension and anxiety can worsen it and the mental and physical activities practised through hypnobirthing can reduce any fear or anxiety you may have around birth.

How can I help you?

I have used hypnobirthing myself and know how much of a difference it can make to birth. I know how it feels to hear other peoples horror stories and seeing births on T.V. and in movies (We've all seen one born every minute!) and how much it can impact you in preparing to give birth yourself. I was anxious at the thought of going into labour and not knowing what was happening, and that's when I decided to try hypnobirthing.

Hypnobirthing gave me and my husband the knowledge and tools to enable us to have a relaxed and positive birth, and I want to share that knowledge with other mums to be. I will provide you with the techniques to enable you to have a more positive birth experience, with whatever type of birth you are hoping for, be it a home birth, natural birth, caesarean birth and everything in-between!

I am passionate about helping women during their pregnancies to be more calm and confident when it comes to their birth options and I will offer you support and advice right up until the birth of your baby and beyond.
