YOUR GAME-CHANGER FOR BIRTH
YOUR GAME-CHANGER FOR BIRTH
What is Hypnobirthing?
I've been teaching hypnobirthing for a long time now, and I really mean it when I say it truly is a game-changer when it comes to navigating birth.
Now, I get it – the term "hypnobirthing" might sound a bit out there, a bit airy-fairy or hippy-dippy, and it’s common to feel a tad sceptical at first. After all, birthing a human is a monumental task, and the idea of using hypnosis might raise an eyebrow or two. But here’s the thing: hypnobirthing is not some mystical hocus-pocus; it’s a logical, evidence-based approach grounded in science... AND there's way more to Hypnobirthing than the actual hypnosis part!
Think of it as a toolkit for a calm and comfortable birth, supported by facts and statistics. It's not about stage hypnosis and magic spells, but rather lots of little things that, when pieced together, make a huge difference to your birth experience. So, let’s address the scepticism head-on and discover how Hypnobirthing can turn your birthing journey into a confident and empowering experience, no matter what your birth plan entails.
-
Logic, Evidence, and Science
First things first, Hypnobirthing is logical, evidence-based, and rooted in science. Hypnobirthing is a practical approach to childbirth that’s backed by solid evidence and science. It just makes sense!
-
Calm & Comfortable Birth
Imagine going into labour with a partner equipped with a toolkit built to support you in having a more relaxed and comfy birth experience. That’s hypnobirthing in a nutshell. It’s like combining antenatal education with a bunch of tools and techniques that help you sail through birth with a sense of calm.
-
Bring on the Benefits
Hypnobirthing isn’t just a concept; it’s backed by facts and statistics. It’s linked to shorter labours, reduced need for pain relief, and a higher likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth.
-
Support for Birth Partners
As much as this is all about you, hypnobirthing is for birth partners too. They learn how to be the ultimate support for you during birth, knowing how to assist and encourage in the best possible way.
-
Education is Empowerment
I’m a strong believer in the more knowledge you have the more powerful you become. That’s why I make sure that I am continuously learning about changes to guidelines, and other birth and baby related practices to ensure you get the most up-to-date informtion.
-
Confidence for Any Birth Scenario
No matter what kind of birth you’re aiming for – medicated, non-medicated, natural, or assisted – hypnobirthing sets you up for confidence. Whether it’s forceps, ventouse, or C-section, you’ll feel empowered and ready.
Hypnobirthing is a rubbish name!
One of the biggest things that puts people off about Hypnobirthing is the name itself. They hear the word 'Hypnobirthing' and automatically think stage hypnosis. Let me assure you, there's no clucking like chickens, dancing around like a numpty, or telling me your innermost secrets. I promise! The 'Hypno' in Hypnobirthing refers to two things: Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis.
The ‘Hypno’ in Hypnobirthing
When I talk about hypnosis, I'm referring to self-hypnosis. This means that you are the one in control at all times. You put yourself into hypnosis and can take yourself out of it whenever you want to. When you are deeply relaxed, your brain is better able to take in information and store it, and that's where hypnotherapy comes in.
All hypnosis really is, is a totally relaxed state of mind. It's a bit like 'the lights are on but no one is home'. This is the state of mind you want to be in when you're in labour, as this helps you get out of your overthinking brain and open up your unconscious birthing brain. You'll learn more about this in the course. This is why you’ll be given a range of hypnosis tracks to listen to, as they are cleverly designed to take you into deep relaxation.
Hypnotherapy uses the tools of words and language to change how you think and feel about things. You may have heard of hypnotherapy being used to help people to stop smoking, lose weight, or even to help with phobias.
You're going to use it to change how you think and feel about birth, and each night you can go to bed listening to a lovely hypnosis track. It'll help you drift off into a deep state of self-hypnosis, and then the script used will help to embed positive suggestions into your mind. Pretty cool, isn't it?
Is birth prep really worth the cost?
Absolutely! Here's Why...
I know money can be tight, especially when you're preparing for a new arrival. But when it comes to your birth education, investing in yourself and your baby is invaluable.
Let’s break down the cost of my course so you can see just how affordable and worthwhile it really is.
The Breakdown:
My course is £285 for a 4-week, 8-hour program.
Over a 4-month payment plan, that’s just £71.25 per month.
Breaking it down weekly, it’s £17.81 per week.
The hourly cost is £35.63 per hour.
Now, let’s put that into perspective:
Weekly Cost Comparisons:
Just £17.81 per week—less than the cost of a few takeaway coffees (£3-£5 each).
Hourly Cost Comparisons:
Only £35.63 per hour—much lower than the cost of a pregnancy massage (£60-£80 per session) and similar to the cost of a maternity photoshoot (£150-£300 for a session).
Why It’s Worth It:
Unlike a one-off massage or photoshoot, the knowledge and confidence you gain from this course will stay with you throughout your entire pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
You'll be investing in your peace of mind, learning techniques to manage labour, and understanding your options every step of the way.
Flexible Payment Plan:
If paying upfront feels like a stretch, you can spread the cost over 4 months. That’s less than what many people spend on a few coffees each week!
Your Birth Experience is Priceless:
Let’s make sure you’re fully prepared and confident. After all, you deserve to feel empowered and informed about this incredible journey.
