HypnoBirthing

Written by Catherine Anderson

HypnoBirthing® combines self-hypnosis with powerful relaxation, breathing and visualisation techniques to help prepare your body to create a calm and natural birth.

Although HypnoBirthing involves specialised relaxation techniques it is much more than just self hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth. HypnoBirthing is a complete antenatal course.  I combine all of my experience in other therapies to offer excellent emotional support to my clients.

I have had two amazing HypnoBirths myself so my workshops are given with the benefit of personal experience. I know the powerful effects of  either being frightened or being calm and relaxed. It is possible for mums to watch my children’s births on dvd.

It is an absolute pleasure to be part of a couples pregnancy in this way and I will always go that extra mile for my clients. I have also had the privilege of being present at several births and have witnessed the power of HypnoBirthing.

The official HypnoBirthing Institute based in America, which was founded by Marie Mongan trained me. HypnoBirthing has spread across the world and has rapidly been gaining respect from the medical profession. I have facilitated study days to student midwives in the local hospital.

With 12.5 hours of HypnoBirthing both you and your birthing companion have the opportunity to completely trust in the mothers ability to give birth. You will be able to communicate effectively with the medical staff and will know how to get into deep relaxation and breath effectively throughout your pregnancy and birth.

The result

1. Calmer happier babies

2. Bonding between mother, baby and  birth companion

3. A more relaxed and comfortable birth

4. Easier adjustment to parenthood

5. Feeling empowered and in control
