Hypnobirthing can never guarantee any type of birth, including one that is pain free. Although many mothers find that when they use their hypnobirthing tools to ensure they are calm and relaxed, they are comfortable, and sensations they feel are manageable.

Nope! There will be no hypnotising! In my courses we use hypnotherapy methods, which is simply a talking therapy to send positive messages to the subconscious mind.

Yes!
Hypnobirthing is suitable for all births. All the techniques will be valuable in keeping you calm and relaxed. When planning a caesarean birth, there are a whole host of options and considerations to think about and a specialist caesarean course can support you with this.

It is strongly encouraged for birth partners to join the course. Many partners are often very sceptical when they start a hypnobirthing course, and that’s fine! They soon realise the integral role they play in birth as your advocate and continuity of care, and it gives them the tools and confidence to do so.

There are lots of brilliant hypnobirthing books available, however nothing compares to a full comprehensive hypnobirthing course. You can ask as many questions as you like, and also have opportunities to practise techniques, together with your birth partner. You will have access to my support via telephone/text and email for the duration of your pregnancy.

The ideal time to start a course is at around 20 weeks of pregnancy. This gives you lots of time to practise the techniques you will learn on the course. That being said, it is never too late to start and it will always make a difference!
