Hypnobirthing & Birth Preparation
‘‘When you change the way you view birth,
the way you birth changes’’
~
Marie Mongan
I believe that preparing for your birth is one of the most important things you can invest in, you will only experience the birth of your baby once!
​
Unfortunately, many people enter this experience carrying fears and anxieties, which is understandable given how childbirth is often portrayed as a painful, high-risk event that requires medical intervention. My hypnobirthing course aims to change that narrative, empowering you with a deep understanding of birth physiology and showing you how hypnobirthing can support your body’s natural process.
​
You’ll gain practical tools, like breathing, relaxation, and visualisation techniques, to help you prepare for birth allowing you to labour with confidence and calm, trusting in your body’s innate ability to bring your baby into the world. By learning to alleviate any fears and minimise discomfort, you can approach labour feeling focused, centred, and in control.
​
Throughout the course, we’ll explore possible interventions and what these may involve, giving you the knowledge to make informed decisions that feel right for you and your baby. This understanding will support your confidence and peace of mind both during labour and in handling any unexpected circumstances that may arise.
​
I also strongly believe that antenatal preparation should include preparing for the early postnatal period, helping you feel ready for the transition into life as new parents, so we’ll cover what you may what to consider and put in place prior to baby’s arrival. ​
Following your course, I offer continuous support, should you have any questions along the way, so that you can feel equipped and empowered throughout your journey.
The content of my courses supports all births and allows you to be prepared should your birth take a differing path to the one you were planning.
​
And hypnobirthing doesn’t just have to prepare you for a positive birth, it provides a strong foundation for life with your new baby, giving you lifelong skills to support you throughout motherhood!
