Your Partner in Pregnancy Care

Hypnobirthing, in a nut shell, is birth preparation. Why prepare for birth? We put time, money and effort into preparing and planning for holidays, birthday parties and weddings. Why not birth? You only get one chance at your birth, and you will never forget the day your baby comes into the world.

In order to have a positive birth, free from worry and anxiety you must first understand how your amazing body actually works in birth. It's not something that is taught in school, which is crazy to me! 

You have also probably heard many negative birth stories or watched them in movies. Woman on their backs, screaming in pain. For starters, laying on your back is actually not a very good position. Not only is your baby trying to get uphill slightly, not using gravity to your advantage, you also can't allow your coccyx to move and create more space for a baby to get out! It takes tools and time to undo all this. This is why part of Hypnobirthing is working on your mindset.

We also use breathing techniques and self hypnosis, this is just being really really relaxed and in the moment. The reason this really works for birth is that when you are relaxed and calm, you feel less pain. Not only this, but if your birth should veer off the plan, which can happen, you are more able to deal with whatever comes. You are able to make a good, clear, objective decision about your birth that is right for you and your unique family. 

My aim is to help you and your birth partner to feel like an amazing team. To feel confident in making decisions about your birth, and to come away with loads of tools to use during labour, helping you to feel confident, calm and excited to welcome your little baby!
