My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Emma to prepare for the birth of our first baby. Emma’s classes were both informative and relaxing and we both feel so prepared for a peaceful, natural birth at home, thanks to our HyponoBirthing practice. If you’re interested in HypnoBirthing, I would highly recommend working with Emma.
Emily, Berkhamsted
I couldn’t thank Emma enough for teaching me and my husband the art of Hypnobirthing. Even though I ended up being induced I still used the the Hypnobirthing method and had an incredible natural birth. I couldn’t recommend Emma enough, thank you!
Louise, Tring
Emma has a warm and intuitive teaching style. She guided me through my pregnancy and helped me overcome my birthing fears and have the most empowering and rewarding birthing experience. I actually enjoyed it. For that I am hugely thankful.
Sarah, Berkhamsted
The environment was positive and welcoming. The hypnobirthing course was informative, educational and provided us with the tools to have at the birth. I feel more knowledgeable and confident and my partner is now more involved in the process. We feel excited for the birth
Clare, Watford
I just want to say a massive thank you, the hypnobirthing skills you taught us on the course were invaluable during the birth. It gave us so much confidence, the whole experience was calm, anxiety free and positive.
Jessica, Leighton Buzzard
The course was really informative and I learnt so much about birth that I never knew. It was lovely to discuss concerns and other ideas for birth with other couples. I feel a lot calmer and positive about giving birth and more confident that I can handle whatever happens during our birthing experience. I have enjoyed the relaxations so much. I am glad I have plenty of them to listen to before our birthing day.
Amelia, Leighton Buzzard
I did not have any type of pain relief at all and the sensations I had were completely bearable. Iain was also really great, he stayed in control and calm, did the soft touch massage and was generally very soothing. I put my amazing birth experience down to the hypnobirthing lessons and doing the relaxations and birthing affirmations (almost) daily, so thank you for teaching Iain and I the skills we needed to make that happen.
Penny, Rickmansworth
Just to say many thanks. Had it not been for hypnobirthing, I would have not survived! Our baby Eden was born 23rd December and using the hypnobirthing tools saved me! I got to full dilation within 3 hours of the first sign of labour and the breathing literally took the pain away like an anaesthetic would, I was surprised how powerful it was. I cannot emphasise enough the empowerment, confidence, vital knowledge and coping tools that I gained from hypnobirthing. I rarely recommend courses but this is a must for every woman. To be candid I would advise this course is taught to every mother-to-be as standard, simply to equip women with the physical, emotional/mental skills & techniques required to undergo the powerful experience of childbirth; and to access the inner strength required for such a feat!

What is Hypnobirthing, how it can help you and how it works? Learn about every aspect of hypnobirthing on our ‘What is Hypnobirthing’ page.
You can master the art of hypnobirthing through practice. The more you will practise, the more skilled you will be because it is an acquired skill. Around 65%-70% of hypnobirthing mums do not need any form of pain relief according to the Hypnobirthing Institute.
Moreover, 20%-25% require something mild, like gas and air, and only 5%-10% usually experience ‘special circumstances’ where they need medical intervention. You can have a better and positive experience through hypnobirthing.
You can move freely, go to the bathroom, walk and change positions easily throughout the labour if you haven’t had an epidural. These simple things are very important if the baby is in a difficult birthing position. Hypnobirthing decreases the need for pain relief and gives you the best opportunity for a drug-free birth. A drug-free birth is beneficial for both mother and baby.
During the 20th (after your 20-week scan) and 30th week of your pregnancy you can start the 4-week course. Please get in touch with us if you are in the 30 weeks of your pregnancy as we would still be able to offer you an online hypnobirthing class. A one-day intensive course is also offered monthly.
Yes, you need to practise at home as hypnobirthing is an acquired skill. The 4-week course enables you and your birth companion to feel fully prepared and relaxed, whereas the one-day intensive hypnobirthing course is best done a few weeks before your due date to give you the time to practise the skills. I will be available to answer all your queries via phone or email.
Hypnobirthing is opted by first-time mums, mothers who are on their second or subsequent pregnancies and want a different approach to childbirth, or mothers who just want a better or positive experience. Anyone who wants a calm and relaxed birthing experience can choose hypnobirthing.
Hypnosis is just about entering a state of relaxation and there is nothing wrong with it. You can still chat normally if necessary and be fully aware of what is going on around you.
When your body is in a calm state during childbirth it releases endorphins which are the natural relaxant of the body and are found in the placenta and umbilical cord. These help the baby to adjust to life outside the womb as well as make your birth journey comfier. Mothers who have had natural childbirth are more alert. So, hypnobirthing helps your baby.
To attend the online hypnobirthing classes you will need a minimum upload speed of 2Mbps. Check your computer speed on http://www.speedtest.net.
Live online hypnobirthing classes serve you best. You interact live with the instructor and get instant feedback on anything that you do which is useful when learning the techniques.
No matter where you are located, as long as you have a good internet connection, you take one of our classes in the comfort of your own home.
