Now in its twentieth year, HypnoBirthing® is a complete antenatal education. Classes are intended to help you have the most natural comfortable childbirth possible, using easily learned self hypnosis, breathing and relaxation techniques. Self hypnosis brings you into a state of relaxed concentration, just like when you are totally absorbed in something, like a good film or book. You are awake and aware of what is going on around you but you have become completely focused and have ‘tuned out’ the distractions.

Many highly successful athletes use similar techniques and refer to the state of mind that self hypnosis brings as being “in the zone” or “in flow”- i.e. relaxed and completely focused.

-Here are some of the things you will learn in HypnoBirthing® classes.

-Techniques which can shorten labour considerably.

-How to release any fears you might have about childbirth…regardless of where those fears came from.

-How to bring about your own easy start to labour with simple, natural techniques which can be used if you go beyond your “estimated due date”

-How to greatly reduce the need for any pain medication.

How to be confident and informed when dealing with the medical staff – when to question, what to ask and when it’s time to let them take charge.

-How to use a simple massage technique to reduce your risk of needing an episiotomy.

-Special breathing techniques that actually help the birth.
