Hypnobirthing
A complete birth education programme, that teaches simple but specific self hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques for a better birth using the easibirthing® method.
The technique is much more than just self hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth.
You'll discover that severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labour and how to release the fears and anxieties you may currently have about giving birth, and how to overcome previous traumatic births.
The sessions will let you discover and experience the joy and magic of birth - rather than the horrific ordeal everyone else seems hell-bent on telling you about. Most importantly, you'll learn how to put yourself back in control of your birth – and work with your midwife or doctor to have the experience you want.
What does it involve?
Using hypnosis doesn't mean you'll be in a trance or a sleep. Rather, you'll be able to chat, and be and in good spirits - totally relaxed, but fully in control. You'll always be aware of what is happening to you, and around you.
