What is involved with a Hypnobirthing Course?
The full course is 10-12 hours in total. Taught over 2 hourly sessions and spaced throughout your pregnancy, in an informal and restful environment learning life-skills at such a momentous and exciting time in your lives.
I recommend starting your hypnobirthing course around about your 25/26th week of pregnancy. This allows time to fix up dates into your pregnancy which are evenly spaced, but within sight of your 'guess dates'. This means you can really focus on the practise and benefit from the result.
It will take daily practise to establish the trust and belief in yourself to enable the 'switch off' button when you go into labour.
The daily practise will become like cleaning your teeth, the more you do it, the more you will want to do it as you feel the positive changes happening in you, around you and for your baby.
It is always possible to tailor-make a Hypnobirthing course to suit you and your life style, so just contact me for a chat about your particular situation.

I am completely flexible as as to whether you want to do a full 10hr course, or a shortened course or any combination that suits you and your specific needs.
If you have already had a baby and just want to do a 'top up' to remind yourselves of the unfolding of labour.
Most couples opt for the private full course taught in their own time. It is spread throughout your pregnancy, usually 5 sessions of 2 hours, with the last session when you are 37-38 weeks.
Should you opt for a private course then these sessions are tailored very much to your specific needs whether that is an underlying concern, or perhaps you want to explore your options further, or that you feel you need extra support with planning your birth, or it could be that with your work commitments you are unable to attend any of the group hypnobirthing courses offered elsewhere.
I teach hypnobirthing for couples who choose a caesarian.
More and more Mums are choosing to have Caesarians and hypnobirthing can help keep you calm and focused as well as being more informed of the caesarian procedure itself.

Hypnobirthing is based on the work of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, an English physician who practised in London circa 1930s. He questioned why there is so much pain associated with childbirth.
He believed that fear and tension were responsible for 95 percent of the pain experienced during labour, and that it could be reduced or even completely eliminated with relaxation techniques. |
The benefits of Hypnobirthing are huge, for the mother, the partner and the baby. Making informed confident decisions, which are based on knowledge and preferences, rather than fear and ignorance, can give you a feeling of empowerment and ownership of your birth. Trusting in your body's ability as it works together and connects with your baby.

Even in the event that intervention is advised, hypnobirthing can be used to remain calm and focused while remaining part of the decision making process.
Having a less stressful entrance into the world has implications on everyone, especially, breastfeeding, bonding and sleep patterns. It has also been shown that there is less chance of tearing through antenatal preparation, deep breathing and being relaxed.
