What is Hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing is a gentle, natural approach to childbirth that teaches you to work with your body rather than against it. Far from stage hypnosis, it's about learning deep relaxation techniques, positive visualisation, and breathing methods that help you feel calm, confident, and in control during labour and birth. 

At its heart, hypnobirthing is about understanding how your mind and body work together during birth. When you're relaxed and confident, your body can work more efficiently, often leading to shorter, more comfortable labours and more positive birth experiences. 

Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital delivery, or birth centre experience, hypnobirthing techniques can enhance any birth setting and help you feel empowered throughout your journey.

Key Aspects of Hypnobirthing

Deep Relaxation Techniques 

Learn to release physical and mental tension, allowing your body to work efficiently during labour. These skills become second nature with practice and are invaluable during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. 

Positive Birth Affirmations 

Replace fear-based thoughts with positive, empowering beliefs about birth. You'll discover how your mindset directly impacts your physical experience. 

Breathing Methods 

Master specific breathing techniques that work with your body's natural rhythms, helping you stay calm and focused while supporting your baby's oxygen supply. 

Visualisation and Imagery 

Use the power of your imagination to create positive birth experiences in your mind, building confidence and familiarity with the birthing process. 

Understanding Birth Physiology 

Knowledge is power. Learn how your amazing body is designed for birth and how to work with - rather than against, its natural processes. 

Partner Involvement 

Your birth companion learns specific techniques to support you, creating a stronger partnership and shared confidence in your birth experience.

    The relaxation and breathing techniques are portable and can enhance any birth experience, regardless of your chosen location or birth plan. 

  • No, you'll be fully aware and in control throughout. Hypnobirthing uses deep relaxation techniques, not stage hypnosis.

    You'll learn to enter a calm, focused state that allows your body to work efficiently while you remain completely conscious and able to make decisions.

    The breathing methods, relaxation skills, and positive mindset you develop help you stay calm and focused whatever turns your birth may take, including during medical procedures.

    Many people find their anxiety significantly reduces as they learn more about birth and develop practical coping tools. 

  • The ideal time is usually from 30 weeks of pregnancy, giving you plenty of time to practice the techniques before birth.

    However, it's never too late to start, even learning some techniques in late pregnancy can be incredibly helpful. 

  • My hypnobirthing teaching combines university-level education with real-world birth experience, supported by professional training from Love Your Birth Training.
