What is HypnoBirthing?

HypnoBirthing Is an antenatal class that teaches you and your birth partner simple relaxation and breathing techniques to make your birth easier, calm and more comfortable,

You will learn how to use your own natural birthing instinct and discover that birth can be a calm, relaxing and empowering experience.

HypnoBirthing does not require any prior experience of relaxation techniques or beliefs.

Birth Partners become central to the birth process and help you stay calm and focussed using the techniques you have learnt together.

HypnoBirthing techniques can be used in any birth setting, Mums have birthed their Babies at home, in Stroud Maternity Unit, St Pauls Maternity Unit Cheltenham, Gloucester Orchard Centre as well as Birth units in Hereford and Worcester.

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a feeling of relaxed concentration, just like when you have driven a familiar journey and when you arrive you realise you have been on auto pilot or when you are reading a good book, you're awake and aware of what is happening around you but you tune out all distractions.

They are both examples of hypnosis

You will learn how to enhance your own natural ability during the course.
