Hypnobirthing is a form of birth preparation. Many parents-to-be like to educate themselves on what to expect during the birthing process. Hypnobirthing is that exact tool and so much more. Hypnobirthing can be used to inform you on what your body is able to do. It helps take it back down to basic physiological aspects of the birthing body. How the muscles work in the uterus and how hormones work to support birth. Understanding your environment, rights, how to advocate for yourself and even preparing you for the many different ways birth can happen. Other methods such as breathing techniques, visualisations, mindfulness, self-hypnosis and affirmations are taught during hypnobirthing. In our monthly sessions, we will cover a number of different topics - each month will change dependant on the needs of the attendees, but all will include some of these topics and always have breathing techniques and scripts for relaxation. - where to birth - your rights - the role of the birth partner - the mind-body connection - fear-tension-pain - positioning in pregnancy and birth - stages of labour - the fourth trimester - postnatal planning - visualisations - meditation scripts - breathwork for pregnancy and birth - and much much more. These sessions are open to everyone at any stage of your pregnancy and are suitable for first time parents or if you are on your 2nd... 3rd... 4th baby! Come and connect with others and let us support you to feel empowered for your birth and postpartum period.
