What is Hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing is a powerful, evidence-based approach to childbirth that focuses on creating a calm, relaxed, and positive birth experience. It combines deep relaxation techniques, guided visualisation, breathing exercises, and affirmations to help you manage pain, reduce fear, and feel empowered throughout labour.

Through hypnobirthing, you’ll learn how the mind and body work together in labor, using the power of positive thinking and natural instincts. Instead of viewing birth with anxiety or fear, hypnobirthing allows you to embrace the process with confidence, trust, and serenity.

Hypnobirthing is much more than “just a bit of magical breathing” (if only that’s all it took!). It’s a complete mindset shift. The power of approaching your birth positively and feeling informed is massive. Life-changing even. Since starting out on my own hypnobirthing journey, and then becoming a teacher, I’ve been amazed to discover the power our minds have over our births and how much you can do to stack the odds in your favour.

With hypnobirthing, you are encouraged to trust in your body’s natural instincts, knowing that every birth experience is unique and that your journey can be both peaceful and empowering. By practicing hypnobirthing, you’ll be able to deeply relax, conserve energy, and release the hormones necessary for a smooth and efficient birth. The techniques can also be used in preparation for any birth plan—whether you're hoping for a natural birth or preparing for a planned cesarean.
