Hypnobirthing

Hypnobirthing is a gentle approach to childbirth, where a mother uses her own natural birthing instinct and works in harmony with her baby to achieve a calm and positive birth. 

It is a well-thought-out program, developed throughout the years to remind mothers of the simplicity of birth itself. Through practiced deep breathing, visualization, prompts from their companion, positive affirmation, and labor comfort methods mothers can bring their mind and body into a state of deep relaxation and therefore will feel calm, in control, and aware of her beautiful birthing experience.
 

Through simple self-hypnosis, hypnobirthing teaches mothers to trust their body and work with it by releasing all prior programming, fear, and negative emotions surrounding birth which can lead to pain-causing fear and tightening of the muscles. While in self-hypnosis a mother will be in total control and aware of her surroundings, not in a trance or a sleep state- but profoundly relaxed.

Yes, if you are growing a baby in your uterus, hypnobirthing is for you! No matter your preference for birth, whether a home birth, a water birth, a hospital birth, or a cesarean section, you will be equipped  to have a birth where you feel in control no matter what turn your journey may take; it can be a positive birth.

Hypnobirthing is also great for your birth companion; it's about building a positive birth experience for everyone!

At Birthing by Nature, I teach hypnobirthing courses that teach all the techniques to ensure a calm and informed birth. I am fully inclusive in all cultural backgrounds and LGBTQIA+ competent.

Hypnobirthing classes can be taken anytime during your pregnancy. The ideal time is between 16- 35 weeks. The earlier the course is taken, the more time you may have to practice these life changing techniques.
