"Childbirth is a rite of passage so intense physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, that most other events in a woman's life pale next to it. In our modern lives, there are few remaining rituals of initiation, few events that challenge a person's mettle down to the very core. Childbirth remains a primary initiatory event for a woman." --Maren Hansen-
Hypnobirthing® Course
The course goes much further than what you will learn at antenatal classes. The benefits of bonding with your baby will last a lifetime and research shows that a satisfying and gentle birth promotes healthy bonding. Furthermore, a positive birth reduces the risk of post-natal depression and post traumatic symptoms. The relaxation techniques that you will learn to assist you in pregnancy and birthing will benefit you for a lifetime and can be used in many future situations.
The Hypnobirthing® course is run over five weekly sessions of 2,5 hours each week or four sessions of 3 hours each week. During the sessions you will learn:
Everything you need to know to achieve safer, easier, and more comfortable birth
To understand how the body works during, pregnancy, labour and birth
Why labor hurts and why it doesn't have to
How to relax so that the birthing muscles can work in perfect harmony as they were designed to do
Relaxation techniques and Visualization for Birthing
How to create and control the body’s own natural anaesthesia.
To bring your body into labor without artificial chemical induction
Breathing techniques to produce a shorter, more comfortable labor
Labor and Birthing positions to assist you in comfortable birthing
Gentle birthing techniques that allow you to breathe your baby into the world without the violence of hard physical pushing.
How you and your birthing companion can create a birthing environment that is calm, serene and joyful rather than tense and stressful
How to have your partner / birth companion intimately involved in your labour and baby’s birth and how they can help you focus your attention during birthing
How to write a birth plan and discuss your wishes with your care provider
To develop a deeper bond with your baby prior to birth, and feel the baby as a participant in the birth.
The importance of nutrition during pregnancy and the importance of breastfeeding
Why women in other cultures have birthing almost entirely free of discomfort.
And much more……
You will also read the HypnoBirthing® Book, practice with CDs, and watch videos to inspire you for the kind of birth you want to experience.

I recommend parents start the class any time before reaching 30 weeks of pregnancy, to allow enough time to practice after the class ends--since conditioning is a big part of Hypnobirth. You can book the course at any time.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries.
I look forward to meeting you and being a part of this special time.
Register Online or contact to register by email.
Full course fees are due one week prior to the course starting unless other arrangements are made, payable in up to four instalments.
* A Note On Class Cost: I firmly believe that all families should have access to quality childbirth education. If the cost of class is an issue, please contact me and we can discuss alternate arrangements.
