Introduction

Hello and welcome to Together Birthing. My name is Emma, and I would like to congratulate you on the amazing journey of pregnancy. Together Birthing offers live online hypnobirthing classes to soon-to-be mothers, to make you fully prepared for your birthing day. Our services are now available to you through Hypnobirthing Brighton.
Here is a little about myself. I am a qualified hypnobirthing practitioner and hypnobirthing mum, having done my training at the Hypnobirthing Institute in 2014, and then with the Hypnobirthing Training Academy (by Jenny Mullan) in 2016.

The course that I now teach comprises 4 x 2 hour weekly online classes and includes 9 relaxation downloads and a course companion book. I came across hypnobirthing in 2013 during my second pregnancy after a difficult birth first time round. I attended the course, and the effects of it on my birth experience were phenomenal. Following my experience, I felt compelled to share my knowledge with other women, so that they too could enjoy the incredible benefits of hypnobirthing. To date, I am privileged to have worked with hundreds of mums-to-be and their birth partners across the UK.

Testimonials

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!

FAQs

What is Hypnobirthing?

To get a better understanding of what Hypnobirthing is, how it can help you, and how it works, please click on the ‘What is Hypnobirthing’ tab on our website.

Can you guarantee a completely pain-free labour and birth?

It is possible to have a completely pain-free labour with hypnobirthing, however every woman is different and this cannot be guaranteed. According to the Hypnobirthing Institute, 65%-70% of hypnobirthing women do not require any form of pain relief. There may be situations where medical intervention is necessary, but the techniques that you learn from the online hypnobirthing classes still help you stay calm and relaxed. Of the women I researched who took my course, 69% of them did not need any form of pain relief either. You can read their individual birth stories on my blog.

Why choose a drug-free birth?

Anything you ingest will be passed on to your baby. Mothers who have a drug-free birth often report faster and easier recovery periods and studies show that babies are more alert and find feeding easier. Also, you are free to move around and get into different birth positions if you do not have an epidural. Epidurals can slow labour down and often lead to further medical intervention.

When should I start the 4-week Hypnobirthing course?

The recommended time to start the 4-week course is between the 20th and 30th week

of your pregnancy. We are also able to fit you in if you are later than 30 weeks so please do still get in touch.

Do I need to practise at home?

The techniques and skills we teach during the course are acquired over time. You therefore need to practise regularly to perfect and execute them for maximum success. Regardless of what classes you take, I will be available on the phone or via email to help you along the way.

What types of people are suited to hypnobirthing?

Any woman who wants to feel more prepared and confident about birth is eligible for the course. Hypnobirthing is easy to learn and can be used for a hospital, birth centre or home birth.

Will hypnosis work for me?

Hypnosis is a simple technique that anyone can do. It is easy to learn and is designed to help you achieve maximum relaxation. You are still able to function normally and react to all that is going on around you.

Is Hypnobirthing good for my baby?

Whatever you feel your baby feels as well. When in a relaxed state, your body releases endorphins that ease the body during childbirth. According to research, children born of natural childbirth are more alert and show more interest in breastfeeding behaviours.

Do I need a good internet connection for the live online classes?

You will need a minimum upload speed of 2Mbps. Use the following tool to check your upload speed http://www.speedtest.net.

Wouldn’t it just be cheaper to buy and follow a download rather than do the live online course?

The best way to take a hypnobirthing course is online with an instructor. You have a better opportunity to ask questions and learn the techniques.
