Hypnobirthing
Coming soon! I am re-training with The Birth Uprising and will soon be able to offer Hypnobirthing courses. I will provide 1-to-1 private sessions and group courses, both online and in person.
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a scientific, evidence-based antenatal education course that provides you with the knowledge, tools and mindset to achieve the birth that you want.
Your brain is an incredibly powerful tool that you have already subconsciously programmed to view and approach birth in a certain way - and in our current day and age it's not likely to be a positive one. Hypnobirthing will educate and re-train your brain with science and evidence based research to change your mindset for the better. You will be empowered and prepared to make decisions around your birth, and you'll be prepared for any eventuality. Hypnobirthing can reduce pain during labour, speed it up, and leave you feeling positive about the birth that you had.
It's science, nothing more.
How?
Hypnobirthing uses a variety of tools including breathing techniques, affirmations, relaxation scripts, anchors and relaxation techniques to let your body relax and birth. You will have a deep understanding of how they work, and the science behind it.
Whether it's a homebirth or planned caesarean, you will feel confident, relaxed and empowered.
What?
You will be armed with knowledge on not only the physiological side of birth , but also the psychological and how the two are deeply connected. I'll educate you on your birth rights, and give you tools to help you make decisions that are right for you and your family.
The course will also include:
-
A goody bag
-
MP3 relaxation scripts
-
Digital handbook
-
A private Whatsapp group (if you choose the group course) for support and socialising with other parents
-
The Birth Uprising's digital pack to refresh your memory from the course
-
A pre-recorded video on introduction to breastfeeding
When?
The key to hypnobirthing is regular practice - your brain needs time to be able to access the space of relaxation - if the first time you practice the techniques is when you're in labour they're not going to work, labour is not the time for your brain to try something new! It needs to feel like second nature to you. There is no perfect time to take the course, but most start at some point between 20-30 weeks gestation. That doesn't mean you can't take the course in week 39, but it might not be as effective for you.
Where?
It's up to you! Private 1-to-1 sessions are in your own home or online, and group sessions are either online or in person (location TBC).
