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!
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!

As an acquired skill, hypnobirthing relies on the level of practice put into what has been learned.
A pain-free labour is possible with hypnobirthing, however every mum is different. The Hypnobirthing Institute found that around 65%-70% of hypnobirthing mums don’t need pain relief. Similarly, 69% of my students over a 2 year period didn’t need pain relief during labour. Furthermore, the Institute found that 20%-25% only require mild aids such as gas and air, and only 5%-10% experience ‘special circumstances’, and require medical intervention. My hypnobirthing students who experienced special circumstances said that hypnobirthing was still of great help. Read more about individual birth experiences on my blog.
Mothers who birth naturally walk and change positions easily throughout labour. Mothers typically give birth faster and easier when they are connected with their birthing bodies. According to research, using epidurals prolongs labour and raises the likelihoods of further interventions. Parents should note that drugs ingested by the mother can also affect the baby. A drug-free birthing experience is more helpful to both mother and child. However, in cases where medical intervention was necessary, mothers can still benefit from the tools and techniques learned through hypnobirthing to stay positive, calm and in control.
The period between the 20th and 30th pregnancy week is the best time to begin. However, if you are over 30 weeks, please do still get in touch especially if you are up to 36 weeks, as I should be able to still fit you in.
Yes, you do. Self-hypnosis and deep relaxation are usually most effective when learnt with adequate practice time in-between classes for absolute success. This will help fully prepare you and your birth partner as you await your birthing day.
Hypnobirthing is for everyone wanting to feel prepared and more confident about birth. That could include first-time mums, mums on a subsequent pregnancy, or mothers who intend to have a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC). This technique is useful for home, hospital, or birth centre births.
Self-hypnosis works for anyone. It is just about entering a state of relaxation. You are still aware of your surrounding environment and can chat normally if needs be. Self-hypnosis can be learnt and improved throughout your course, and the period after your course.
Hypnobirthing is not just about learning self-hypnosis. It is actually an entire philosophy and approach to pregnancy and childbirth. Self-hypnosis is also helpful for relaxation after childbirth.
Hypnobirthing is very good for babies. Your baby feels what you feel, which means every time you become relaxed and calm, your baby will enjoy the same calm sensation. During childbirth, endorphins can only be released when your body is in a calm state, which then helps your baby to relax and comfortably adapt to life after the womb. Research shows that babies born naturally are more active and interested in breastfeeding behaviours.

The interactive online courses that I teach help you learn important techniques for birth and give you a good understanding of the skills necessary for a successful birth. The best way to take a hypnobirthing course is live 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.
