What is Hypnobirthing?

HypnoBirthing uses simple self hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques preparing you for a birth in which you will feel in control, calm and relaxed.

The Mind and Body Hypnobirthing offers so much more than hypnotherapy, providing you with a full antenatal programme. .

With HypnoBirthing, we will help you understand the connection between the mind and body and that pain does not have to accompany labour
We will teach you how to let go of fears and worries that you and your partner may have about giving birth, and how to overcome previous traumatic births.
You will feel in complete control of your own birthing experience, trusting in your body.

Furthermore, HypnoBirthing doesn't mean you'll be in a trance or asleep. The aim of Hypnobirthing is to allow you to feel relaxed and calm during labour and the birthing process.

A question that most Mum's to be ask is whether they have to have prior experience in mindfulness, meditation or hypnosis; in short - absolutely not. HypnoBirthing doesn't require any particular belief system, or prior experience. Some of our mums (and especially their husbands!) have been very sceptical at first - until they experience it for themselves.

Helen’s approach to Hypnobirthing focuses on letting go of fear, anticipation of pain and anxiety and learning to trust your body and the experience of birth.

In the present day, thanks to media, television programs, negative birthing stories and the like. The word, ‘birth,’ automatically brings with it negative emotions and feelings; those of worry, anxiety and fear.

When I ask expectant mothers to tell me the first word that comes to mind when I say birth, the one that is most commonly listed...pain. This is what I will change...

I will change painful to powerful.

"We teach women that they can trust in the natural process, the momentum of birth and in their bodies."

I want to empower mothers to know that their body is doing exactly what it was programmed to do.

Through my course, I will show mothers that their body is the most wonderful and clever invention, which is completely capable of and designed for childbirth. It is only through feelings of anxiety, fear stress that we interfere with this natural process. “ learn more...

One final and important note to make is that Hypnobirthing is not about having a 'normal or perfect birth.’ There is no set of rules or boundaries that must be followed in order to have a ‘successful’ birth. To hypnobirth is about having a positive and empowering experience in which "no-one fails.” One rule to always follow: ‘baby knows best.’

When it’s time for your baby to be born, you can be fully awake, involved and empowered by the experience.
