You can read all the details about the complete Hypnobirthing process on my ‘What is Hypnobirthing’ page. It includes the methods, the benefits, and a lot more.

A lot of things need to be considered regarding the whole childbirth process. Hypnobirthing is a skill that needs to be worked on. The more you practise in the time between your online hypnobirthing classes, the better it will be. Statistically speaking, according to the Hypnobirthing Institute, about 65%-70% of mums who deliver via hypnobirthing techniques do not need any pain relief. The remaining 20%-25% need only air or gas. Lastly, 5%-10% are the mums who face special circumstances and require medical intervention. Although many of these mums have testified that hypnobirthing still helped them and made it a lot easier to cope. You can read about their amazing stories here.

Epidurals might feel amazing but they come with a lot of side effects and complications. In most cases, mums who get an epidural can’t move around and even face trouble changing their birthing positions. Furthermore, research proves that getting an epidural can prolong the birthing time and increase the probability of external interventions such as vacuum extraction and forceps delivery. Mums who have had drug-free birth often mention having an easier and faster delivery and quicker recovery. Most importantly, whatever the mum ingests, the baby gets affected by it. So, it is better to prioritise a natural birth. 

After having your 20-week scan and before your 30th week of pregnancy would be an ideal time to begin this course. It’s OK if you’re a little further along than 30 weeks, up to 38 weeks in fact, and I would be happy to fit the course in for you.

I would definitely advise you to practise as much as you can in the time between classes and up to your birthing day because hypnobirthing is an acquired skill. So, it is only as effective as you make it. The 4-week course gives you ample time to be fully prepared, confident, and relaxed as you near your delivery day. f you feel like asking me anything regarding the courses, don’t hesitate to reach me on the phone or via email.

Hypnobirthing is a process with ample benefits. It is ideal for anyone who wants to feel at ease and have confidence about going into labour and delivering a baby. Most of the time, mums expecting for the first time tend to turn to hypnobirthing to calm their nerves and get rid of fears regarding pregnancy. Second-time or subsequent mums, on the other hand, might turn to hypnobirthing as a more pleasant alternative to their previous childbirth experience. In addition, mothers looking to deliver vaginally after a caesarean delivery can find solace in hypnobirthing techniques that can help them tackle their fears regarding vaginal birth. 

There is a lot of stigma regarding hypnosis so it is important to establish that it only refers to entering into relaxation. You’re never under any trance and you’re always aware of what goes on around you. You can chat and continue to function as you normally do, just with a calmer mindset. You can learn and improve your self-hypnosis skills throughout the duration of the 4-week online hypnobirthing course. It should be mentioned that there is a lot more to my online hypnobirthing classes than just self-hypnosis; they expose you to a whole philosophy and new-found approach to childbirth.

Babies and mums both can definitely benefit from hypnobirthing as it increases the chances of having a drug-free birth. Moreover, the calmer you are during labour, the better it is for the baby as it will feel the same sensations as you from within the womb. 

When you’re relaxed, your body releases natural relaxant chemicals called endorphins. These are also found inside the placenta and umbilical cord. These endorphins might help to accustom the baby to life outside the womb and make the journey more pleasant for it. According to research, babies who are born naturally tend to be more responsive and show enhanced interest in breastfeeding habits such as massaging the mother’s breasts

Yes. You might find a lot of downloads on the market to help you with your relaxation techniques. However, they won’t give you the same experience as a live interactive online course. My curriculum ensures that you’ll learn all the important techniques for childbirth and develop a deep understanding of the whole process, asking questions whenever you want.
