Group Hypnobirthing

Deciding on a group course

​

Group classes give you the chance to meet like-minded parents-to-be in a positive environment. Groups are small, made up of 3 -5 couples and taught on the weekend. The material is tailored to those attending and there are opportunities to ask questions and lots of discussion. 

​​​

We explore:

​

• how the mind affects the body and what that means for labour and birth

• the tools of hypnobirthing 

• the birth process - finding out what happens to your body in labour

• effective positions for your birth

• how to create your birth space and why that is important

• your options in birth - discussing what they are and what to do if things change

• what your birth partner can do to support you; helping you (and themselves) relax

 

The classes are interactive; full of demonstrations and activities. One space is for you and your partner/birth companion.

​

On the day we practice:

 

• specific and highly effective breathing

• relaxation techniques - giving you the opportunity to experience self-hypnosis

• massage techniques using your hands and everyday objects

• effective positions for birth - so you know exactly what to do

 

 

We spend time working through birth scenario's, such as an induction, so you can leave the course with a practical plan; feeling calm and prepared to manage labour.

​

Courses book up quickly, so if you want to feel positive and informed about birth don't delay. 

​

​

What the course includes​

 

You'll receive:​

​

• a printed course workbook - full of everything we cover, space to write you thoughts and self-hypnosis relaxations for your practice

• MP3s of powerful relaxations and positive affirmations (emailed once you book)

• digital resources

• a welcome gift

• support from your hypnobirthing instructor from when you book until your baby arrives.​

​

When to attend

​

You are welcome to attend from 20 weeks and most clients start a course between 26 -33 weeks.  However, it is never too late in pregnancy to learn and effectively use hypnobirthing techniques for a better birth experience.

​

Ideally you would attend with your partner/birth companion, but mothers who attend all or part of the course on their own can also fully benefit from hypnobirthing.​
