Hypnobirthing is no hocus pocus, my course is a complete birth preparation course packed full of up-to-date, evidence-based research. Hypnobirthing classes equip you with a complete “toolbox” of practical hands-on techniques and tools as well as a wealth of knowledge that is an absolute game changer for pregnancy and birth. From the first twinge to birthing the placenta - I've got you covered.
What happens during hypnobirthing classes?
There are no swinging pocket watches, dacing around a fire under a full moon or any weird stuff like that! My hypnobirthing classes are logical and combine evidence-based research with practical tools and techniques that will support you with any worries or fears about birth, how to manage pain, help you navigate maternity services so you can have the birth you want and to leave you feeling empowered, excited and incontrol of your birth.
"When you change the way you view birth, the way you birth will change"
Marie Mongan
Hypnobirthing is based on the mind-body connection - where the mind leads, our bodies follow. Just like when we experience stress we can tense up and experience physical symptoms in our body; if we fear birth, our bodies also respond to our thoughts and beliefs. If our beliefs are negative and fear-based, our bodies are less like to relax and we will go into 'fight or flight mode'. This 'fight or flight' response spikes our bodies with stress hormones which inhibit our birthing hormones from working and prevents us from relaxing.
When we can't relax during birth, we experience greater pain and this can also slow labour down - this is something we don't want.
Hypnobirthing will help reframe your beliefs around birth, teach you techniques to relax during contractions or if having procedures during labour. On my course, I teach your birth partner on how to support you to do this throughout pregnacy and during birth - so they feel confident and empowered and you can rest knowing your birth partner is there supporting you and protecting your birth space.
Types of hypnobirthing classes
You can choose private 1:1 classes in your own home in person or via Zoom with me. Alternatively, you may choose my group hypnobirthing classes that I host from Stride Clinic in Sandbach, Cheshire. This is a brilliant way to meet other parents who will be due at a similar time to you and is a fabulous way to make 'mum' and 'dad' freinds.
Hypnobirthing classes can...
Be used in ALL types of birth - from c-sections to home birth and inductions to procedures
Be used (and become more important) if plans for or during birth change
Gives you practical tools and techniques that support your mind, body and physiology during contractions or if you feel fearful or anxious during pregnancy and birth
Remove the fear of the unknown about birth
Help you explore options for birth so you can make considered, well thought-through decisions that feel right for you
Help you understand your birthing body and how you can support it during pregnancy and birth
Empower and support birth partners so they have a positive birth experience too
Research has shown that when we make informed decisions that feel right, we are more likely to experience birth as a positive experience
