HelloBirth® Hypnobirthing is a skills-based approach to birth preparation, providing you with solid information on which to base your decisions and a method for giving you more control over the sensations of birth. We do this by tapping into the power of your mind through a mindfulness practice, which brings about a deep level of confidence and relaxation. It's fun, easy and relaxing to learn. If you will have a partner attending classes with you, they will learn how to use a variety of tools they can use to take an active role in supporting you. The approach is highly flexible to a variety of needs. Hypnobirthing can be a useful tool in all types of birth experiences, whether you are planning for home birth, a low intervention hospital birth, an epidural birth or even a planned Caesarean birth...HelloBirth can help you connect with your birth experience.
