What HypnoBirthing Teaches
We're here to help you have a much more comfortable and relaxed birth than you may have had otherwise
HypnoBirthing is designed with a structured but informal class format that teaches about the physical, emotional and mental aspects of birth. You will learn:
- A toolbox of techniques that can be applied to meet and manage the sensations of labour as opposed to relying on pain medication
- Why your body does what it does, as well as how
- Breathing techniques that actually work with your birthing muscles to efficiently birth your baby
- How to reduce your risk of needing an episiotomy with a stunningly simple massage technique
- How to be confident and informed when dealing with medical staff: when to question, what to ask, and when it’s time to let them take charge
- How to release any fears you might have about childbirth so that they don’t have a negative impact on your birthing experience
- How to bring about your own natural start of labour with simple techniques should you go beyond your estimated due date
- How birth partners can be of help at every stage of labour and be your advocate for the birth that you wish for as a family
- Most importantly, you’ll learn how to relax and stay calm and in control, regardless of what’s happening around you, in whatever setting you choose
