Why Hypnobirthing?

HypnoBirthing is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentility, calm and joy. Birthing should not be an excruciatingly painful event, when a mother is properly prepared physically, mentally and emotionally she will be able to remain deeply relaxed during birth and experience a comfortable often pain-free birth. HypnoBirthing classes are antenatal classes, which prepare couples for a calm, comfortable, joyous birthing experience. The classes involve a small number of couples in a comfortable home environment. Totally different from normal antenatal classes the focus is on understanding birth and empowering couples to chose the birth they really want. The key to a positive birth experience is preparation of the mind and body, Hypnobirthing teaches women how to stay deeply relaxed and in control of their birth, reducing the need for pain relief and intervention, making birth a positive empowering experience, better for Mum, Dad and Baby.
