HypnoBirthing is now in it’s seventeenth year and is renowned for offering a unique antenatal education, focusing on easily-learned self hypnosis and breathing techniques. Birth hypnosis aims to further develop the techniques taught within our YogaCise relaxations helping you to work with your fear and the sensations of labour rather than fight against it. For many women the issue of feeling ‘in control’ is of prime importance. Techniques such as HypnoBirthing can really help to retain a sense of control throughout the experience.
Holistic approaches to birth are certainly not new, rather steeped in history and the wisdom of our mothers and grandmothers. HypnoBirthing supports this holistic approach in that is a totally natural and safe method, helping mum to be trust her own natural instincts and experience birth with the confidence and self assurance all women deserve to have.
So what will you AND YOUR PARTNER, learn:
- A detailed exploration of self-hypnosis methods and how to release fear,
- the ability to experience deep relaxation,
- How to use different visualisations to control emotions and adrenalin levels,
- A reminder (for those of you already attending yogacise) of positions and special breathing methods which will take you through labour and delivery
HypnoBirthing doesn't mean you'll be in a trance or a sleep but rather totally relaxed and able to let the sub conscious mind take control of your birthing process. By really learning to embrace the sensations of birth and maintain a focus, mums to be can feel empowered, in control and anxiety free!
As the HypnoBirthing site states (AOL March 2006):
“Just imagine welcoming each surge! Feeling peaceful... relaxing... and even smiling as your baby comes closer to you! In short, HypnoBirthing® allows you to experience birth in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the birthing muscles of your body from functioning as Nature intended them to”
"The hypno is great
...if you have a new course and want someone to talk to
people about it
I would be very happy to do that. It certainly gave me lots of
confidence" Hypno Mum NT 09/06
"Two midwives were dispatched and I was already 6 cms dilated ... the whole labour from start to finish was six hours which totally shocked us! No pain relief apart from my husband's fabulous back massage" Hypno Mum NT 09/06
"I think this is a powerful & useful course to help one reach perspective, understand the fear/pain connection and learn to use breathing and relaxation to aid an easy birth " Hypno Mum WO 10/06
"Just wanted to say thanks for the hypnobirthing and all the help you have given us over the last few weeks. I have learnt so much & would recommend you and hypnobirthing to all." Hypno Dad MM 11/06
" We were confident to deal with everything and had enough background knowledge to understand everything. The CD was on from the moment we got in the hospital. We were very lucky to get a nice midwife who listened to us and what we wanted. We used lots of the techniques and john did the massaging well ..... I managed to just get on with it and stay calm, the breathing and finding my happy place got me through." SPG 12/07
"I delivered at home and all went very smoothly. I woke up with cramps at 3.30am and by 8am I was 3-4cm dilated, my yoga breathing was invaluable throughout the first stage and I managed to stay so relaxed throughout. My hypno cd was playing in the background for all of the labour and really helped me ....... I was only in second stage for 40 minutes. I managed without any gas and air!! Overall I feel really proud of myself – which isn’t what I expected to feel and I had the lovely, safe birth that I wanted. The midwife was impressed and said I remained so calm and just went with my body" LS 12/07

I couldn't wait to be a mum, but the whole experience of pregnancy,
labour and birth was a real fear factor for me, i felt that i would'nt
be able to cope with not being in control. I chose to do Hypnobirthing
after reading about it on the Lazy daisy website. The classes are not a
fast fix and will not stop the sensations that you are going to feel,
what i did for me was offer a variety of soloutions to encourage me to
put trust in my body and my baby and enjoy and except the experince. It
was amazing, calm, quick,and allowed me to focus only on what i was
feeling and doing throughout my labour and birth. Nuala arrived safe,
calm and stress free. I would highly recommend hypno birthing...AMAZING
As well as the classes themselves, each attending couple will receive the 96-page text book "HypnoBirthing: A Celebration Of Life", along with affirmations and relaxation tape or CD set, and numerous weekly handouts, all included in the price.
