Hypnobirthing

 

PLEASE NOTE: APRIL IS CURRENTLY ON MATERNITY LEAVE UNTIL 2017

Do you want to connect with your instincts and enjoy this journey into motherhood? Prepare for your birth calmly and positively? Connect with your partner and prepare for the birth of your baby together? Then keep reading!

 

Hypnobirthing is a two day antenatal education programme which prepares both mind and body for birth. Everything you and your partner need to prepare for birth in one course.

 

Women really are awesome! However, many women don’t realise how important it is to prepare both their mind and body for the birth of their baby and early motherhood.

 

The focus of the course is ‘mind body preparation’. Giving birth is a marathon and you need to be prepared for it emotionally and physically. Let’s face it; you wouldn’t decide to run a marathon tomorrow with no training! Well, it really is the same with birth.

 

But by using Hypnobirthing and techniques you will feel confident, empowered, well informed and completely prepared for your baby’s birth.

 

The course is well balanced and will not only mean you are more likely to have a natural birth but you will be well informed and able to keep your mind open if special circumstances arise. This means, no matter what path your birth takes, you will feel, calm, positive and in control.

 

It offers partners the chance to understand the birthing process and learn how they can play a vital role. (Yes, you really are important too!) With the natural progression of the techniques and home practice, both you and your birth partner will become more connected. This really is a vital part of the process and can make all the difference to your birthing day and the early days of parenthood.

 

During the course you will learn:

 

• How burning witches started our cultural fear of childbirth (honestly!)

• Hormones and how awesome they are!

• Calm breathing techniques

• Emotional changes during the birthing process

• Tools and techniques for banishing fears and anxiety

• Creating your birth space and protecting it

• The physical birthing process

• Birth breathing to birth your baby with ease

• Active birth positions and exercises

• Massage techniques (The best bit!)

• Rebozo techniques for optimal foetal positioning

• Birth partner’s role – yes you are really important!

• Informed decision making

• What happens on the day – no need to panic
