what is hypnobirthing and how can it help me?

Hypnobirthing is a pathway to an empowered, positive pregnancy and birth.  By committing to this practice pregnant women can feel more at ease during pregnancy and go into labour and/or birth feeling prepared and feeling a deep sense of inner strength and calm.  They feel supported and honoured as the goddess they are, bringing life into the world, a most sacred and special act.

Mostly focusing on a positive, calm mindset, hypnobirthing teaches tools to pregnant women and their partners/support people including – self-hypnosis, positive affirmations, massage and touch, acupressure and breathing techniques.

Antenatal education - the ins and outs of pregnancy, labour and birth are also taught, giving women and their support person as much information as possible so that they can make informed and empowered choices for themselves and their babies.

Hypnobirthing can help you decide how and where you want to birth your baby, help you create your preferences for birth and most of all positively prepare your mindset so that you can meet your labour and birth with a sense of calm and feeling empowered, even when something unexpected happens or birth doesn’t quite go to “plan”.

The skills learnt in hypnobirthing can also help families during the newborn days, early parenthood and even as they continue to navigate their lives as parents throughout the years.  These tools for life are simple – breathing, visualisation, acupressure, self-hypnosis, massage and relaxation techniques to soothe the nervous system.

Imagine a world where all parents had access to these tools.  Research suggests there would be fewer interventions in birth which would lead to fewer traumatic experiences.  This all points to a more positive beginning for mother and baby.

All women deserve a positive and empowering birth and Hypnobirthing Australia is the perfect pathway to making this your reality.  The program is accessible and achievable with flexible learning options and passionate practitioners across the globe ready to share the deep wisdom, knowledge and power of birth.
