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.

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!

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

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.

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!

By applying pressure to certain areas of the hands and feet, reflexology can help to ease aches and pains all over the body. Pregnancy results in back pain, swelling and other unwelcome ailments in many women. Reflexology can often be a natural way to solve these.

You can learn about every aspect of hypnobirthing through our ‘What is Hypnobirthing’ page.
Birth is influenced by many factors and some of them are beyond our control. Any other form of pain relief is not needed for around 65%-70% of hypnobirthing mums, and something mild like gas and air is required by only 20%-25% women according to the Hypnobirthing Institute. I carried out a study on women that I taught for 2 years and found that 69% of them did not need any form of pain relief. Special circumstances where medical intervention is required are experienced by remaining 5%-10% women usually, according to the Hypnobirthing Institute. Even if they were induced, or ended up with a caesarean hypnobirthing still helped them enormously during the whole process. You can take insights from the individual birth-story experiences on my blog.
You can move freely, go to the bathroom, walk and change positions easily throughout labour if you give birth without an epidural. It is important, especially if the baby is in a difficult position for birth. By staying connected with their birthing bodies mothers can breathe the baby down better and faster. Some studies have shown that the birthing time and the chances of other interventions such as forceps and vacuum extraction are increased by an epidural. It should also be kept in mind that any drug ingested by the mother may affect the baby as well. There is a faster recovery in mothers after drug-free childbirth. Hypnobirthing reduces the need for pain relief and is the best opportunity for a drug-free birth.
You can start the 4-week online hypnobirthing class between the 20th (after your 20-week scan) and 30th week of your pregnancy. We can usually still fit the course in for you if you are later than 30 weeks so please do get in touch.
Hypnobirthing is best suited for those who want to feel more prepared and confident about birth. These hypnobirthing techniques are helpful for both home births and hospital or birth-centre births.
Yes, because hypnosis is about entering a state of relaxation and there is nothing strange about it. You will still be fully conscious of what is going on around you. You will be able to chat normally if necessary. Self-hypnosis is an acquired skill which can be improved with practice.
Hypnobirthing is helpful for your baby as your baby feels exactly what you feel, so every time you become stress-free and calm, your baby will enjoy the same calmness in your womb, as the body’s natural relaxant endorphins are released.
A minimum upload speed of 2Mbps is required for the live online classes. You can check the upload speed of your computer with http://www.speedtest.net tool.
You can find many downloads on the market but they are not as effective as a live interactive online hypnobirthing course when you have an instructor to give you feedback and to answer your questions.
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.
