Hypnobirthing - 1 Day Course With Birth Partners

This 1 day course is designed for women and their partners, or birth partner (e.g. mum/friend). It is a chance to immerse yourself in preparation for your birth with the person who will be with you there on the day. Hypnobirthing’s huge surge in popularity in recent years is testament to how much it has benefited many families.

I have chosen to teach the Mindful Mamma approach which effectively combines hypnosis techniques with mindfulness in an easily accessible 1 day format.

This day course will you offer you a range of techniques and knowledge/wisdom so that you feel at your most empowered and calmly excited for your birth.

What is hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing is a form of birth education which combines knowledge and techniques from a variety of different areas. It has its roots in science and offers you sound understanding of the process of birth. This is alongside a variety of techniques and practices that include breathing techniques, deep relaxations, visualisations, self hypnosis, affirmations, meditation, and practical exercises with our partner (e.g. massage).

It can help you in accessing anything which is holding you back and offers ways to create/develop a positive mindset in preparation for your birth. The approach also very much values the role of your birth partner and offers practical and emotional ways for them to support you.

What’s the teacher’s background?

I did a full training with one of the early Hypnobirthing founders Marie Mongan (Mongan Method) in 2014 and have since trained in Mindful Hypnobirthing (Sophie Fletcher). I also immersed myself in a variety of approaches to hypnobirthing during my pregnancy and birth of my son.

As an experienced pregnancy yoga teacher (since 2014) and yoga nidra (deep relaxation) specialist I will guide you through a range of techniques designed to help you develop the skill of relaxing deeply. I teach these methods through practice – feeling these states in the body again and again so you can embody them in the lead up to and during your birth.

When should I do a course?

You are welcome to join from around 22 weeks of pregnancy. If you are nearing birth we can arrange some 121 sessions at a convenient time.

What resources will I receive?

·  MP3 recordings of relaxations/hypnosis

·  Class journal
