Leeds is a great area to have baby, with so many amenities and lots of other young families you can connect with.
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.
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!

All the information about Hypnobirthing, how it can help you, and how it works is on our ‘What is Hypnobirthing’ page.
Hypnobirthing is an acquired skill, meaning that its success depends on the amount of practice you put in during and after the course. According to the Hypnobirthing Institute, around 65-70% of hypnobirthing mums do not need any form of pain relief. Some 69% of my own students over a 2 year period did not need any form of pain relief during labour. The Institute also confirmed that 20-25% required something mild like gas and air, whilst 5-10% experienced ‘special circumstances’, and required medical intervention. My students who experienced special circumstances disclosed that hypnobirthing still really helped them. You can read more about individual birth-story experiences on my blog.
Mothers who birth without any drugs are more able to move about freely than those who give birth with an epidural. Mothers can give birth faster and easier as they feel more connected with their bodies. On the contrary, the use of epidurals can prolong labour time and increase the chances of other medical interventions like forceps or vacuum extraction. Parents should note that any drugs ingested by the mother also affect the baby. Hypnobirthing increases the possibility of a drug-free birth and reduces the need for pain relief.
It is advisable to start the course between the 20th and 30th week of pregnancy. For those later than 30 weeks, we can still fit the course in for you up to 36 weeks.
Absolutely! Self-hypnosis is an acquired skill that is most effective when learned with enough practice time between your weekly classes.
Hypnobirthing is for those that want to be fully prepared for birth. They could be first-time mums without experience, mothers on their second or subsequent pregnancies who want an alternative experience or mothers who want to have a vaginal birth after Caesarean (VBAC) Hypnobirthing techniques are useful for home births and hospital or birth-centre births.
Self-hypnosis can work for you or any other person interested in learning the skills and techniques. It is simply about being in a state of relaxation to help you stay calm and in control. You will be fully aware of the happenings around you and able to communicate with others if necessary. Self-hypnosis can be learned easily and improved throughout the duration of your course.
Hypnobirthing is also very good for your baby as much as it is for you. Whenever you are calm and relaxed, your baby will feel similar sensations. The endorphins are your body’s natural relaxant and are released when the body is in a calm state during labour. The same endorphins are also found in the placenta and umbilical cord, which helps the baby adapt to life outside the womb. It also helps your baby remain calm, alert and active.
A minimum upload speed of 2Mbps is ideal for a live online class. You can run a test on your computer to check your upload speed with this tool http://www.speedtest.net.
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.
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.
