Birth Hypnosis

Supporting the body's own instinct to relax and birth... Easier, simpler, calmer.

 

Hypnosis or deep relaxation in childbirth means training the mind to let go so that the body can relax and birth more easily. Practicing birth hypnosis supports natures design to work simpler and easier while letting fears subside so they don't get in the way.

It is not overriding or controlling the process, it is supporting the process, the hormones, the instincts, the body's own amazing and efficient design to work.

Practicing birth hypnosis also gives women's partners a very real hands on way of being the best support person possible so that both mum and dad are in the bubble of love for the birth of their baby.
