The Benifits of HypnoBirthing®

• Shortens the first stage of labour by several hours
• HypnoBirthing® eliminates or greatly reduces the need for painkillers
• The shorter labour and fewer drugs leads to more rapid postnatal recovery for mum and better start for baby.
• Promotes special bonding of mother, baby, and birthing companion
• Maximise the possibility of a chemical free birth
• Creates a more integral role for the birthing companion.
• Returns birthing to the beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended

HypnoBirthing® was developed 15 years ago in the U.S. and is a childbirth method that uses hypnosis to eliminate pain and fear from the birthing experience.  Pioneered by Marie Mongan, an American hypnotherapist who combined Dr Grantly Dick-Read's (an English obstetrician and founder of the Natural Childbirth Trust) and her own knowledge as a hypno-anaesthesiologist to create "HypnoBirthing®".

How Does it Work?
Through classes reinforced by audio and video programs, pregnant women learn to achieve deep relaxation by practicing methods of visualization and self-hypnosis. These techniques are also taught to birth companions, who learn to help deepen and support the birthing mother's level of relaxation during birthing. By learning techniques to manage the tension caused by fear and anxiety, the labouring mum approaches the birth feeling calm, confident, aware, and in control.

What you will learn:

• Everything you need to know to know to achieve a safer, easier, and more comfortable birth.
• To explode the myth that pain is a necessary accompaniment to labour.
• How your body is naturally designed to conceive, nurture, and birth your baby with ease and comfort.
• To create your body’s own natural relaxant, the only safe labour enhancement.
• Natural ways to bring your body into labour without artificial chemical induction.
• How you and your birthing companion can create a birthing environment that is calm, serene, and joyful rather that tense and stressful.
• Gentle birthing techniques that allow you to breathe your baby into the world without the violence of hard physical pushing.
• To use your natural birthing instincts to birth your baby in a way that most mirrors the way nature intended
