When your birthing is complete, you will think, I was actively part of an unforgettable and inspiring experience. Whatever birth you choose, HypnoBirthing^® is the unique antenatal education program that can assist you in achieving your goal.

HypnoBirthing^® is a childbirth method that focuses on preparing parents for gentle birth. HypnoBirthing^® promotes a calm, peaceful, and natural pregnancy, birth, and bonding experience for families.

Unlike other childbirth methods that teach you how to cope with and manage pain, HypnoBirthing^® is based on the premise that childbirth does not necessarily need to be painful, if the mother is well prepared and relaxed. When one understands that constrictor hormones, created by fear, cause pain they learn, instead, to release fear thus creating endorphins—the feel good hormones. Dr Grantly Dick Read, the pioneer of natural childbirth, discovered this. More comfortable birthing is simply and easily achieved with HypnoBirthing^®. Rather than exhausting, shallow breathing and the distraction techniques of typical “prepared childbirth” programs, HypnoBirthing^® parents learn deep abdominal breathing and total relaxation, enabling the laboring mother to work in harmony with her body and her baby, just as nature intended. This allows her to achieve a shorter and more comfortable labor for herself and baby.

This programme is dedicated to giving women, and their birth partners, practical skills to assist in labour and birth. Deep relaxation techniques, visualisation and breathing are taught during pregnancy. The course empowers women to to feel prepared, in control, calm and confident, assisting in building women confidence. allowing them to turn to their perfectly designed bodies, helps them to build a relationship with their unborn babies.

Statistically 70% of HypnoBirthing^® mothers require no pain relief. As long as an expectant mother is having a normal birth, confidence and free from fear, birth need not be painful. HypnoBirthing^® mothers are fully aware and totally engaged in the experience. In HypnoBirthing^® we build confidence in the body's natural ability to birth gently and easily. See yourselves confident and empowered ultimately achieving a more satisfying birth where only necessary drugs and intervention are used.

Medical assistance and intervention do have a place and are sometimes necessary. HypnoBirthing^® helps eliminate unnecessary intervention and puts the power in the hands of the expectant mother and father, as they trust in the body's natural ability to birth gently and easily, and free of fear.
