What is Hypnosis?

Will I lose control when I am in hypnosis?

A person will only go into hypnosis is they give themselves permission to do so. Being in hypnosis does not allow another to control a persons mind. In fact a birthing Mum in hypnosis is in total control of her birth and body, she will be completely aware of her surroundings but it will not effect her ability to stay relaxed and in control.

In the classes partners will also be invited to relax and experience hypnosis but this can only be done if the partner is willing, similarly any person in hypnosis can bring them self out whenever they choose.

I am not sure my partner will want to be hypnotised?

As an experienced practitioner I am sensitive to the fact that some people may not feel comfortable being hypnotised. However once people understand hypnosis they are usually wiling to try. Even if your partner does not want to be hypnotised they can still learn how to support you during birth by attending the classes and just observing the hypnosis – remember they cannot be made to go into hypnosis if they are unwilling.
