Course Content

Here are some of the things you'll learn that are not covered in most antenatal classes.

  • Breathing techniques that actually help the birth (and it's not the panting that most people think they have to do. Think about it - why would anyone want to hyperventilate during labour?)
  • How to massively reduce the need for any medication at all
  • How to reduce your risk of needing an episiotomy during birth with a stunningly simple massage technique
  • How to be confident and informed when dealing with the medical staff - when to question, what to ask...and when it's time to let them take charge
  • How to release any fears you might have about childbirth...regardless of where they come from
  • How to bring about your own easy start of labour with simple, natural techniques, if you go beyond your "estimated due date"
  • Most importantly, you'll know how to relax and stay calm and in control - regardless of what's happening around you

HypnoBirthing® is designed as a structured but informal class format that teaches about the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of birth. You'll learn why your body does what it does, as well as how.

Plus, as well as the classes themselves, you'll receive a professionally produced 196-page book "HypnoBirthing®: A Celebration of Life", an affirmations and relaxation CD, and numerous weekly handouts, all included in the price.



When can I start the classes?

You can begin the course when you are 3 months pregnant; however somewhere between 25-30 weeks is ideal. The success of the course is strongly linked to how much practice you do but provided you can finish the course before you give birth, it's still going to help. In special cases we can run the classes closer together.
