Description
What is HypnoBirthing?
Birth can be a calm, beautiful and empowering event. Every woman knows instinctively how to birth and every baby knows how to be born.
But sometimes our lack of trust in our body, our fears and our conditioning about birth can get in the way of our beautiful calm birth.
HypnoBirthing® is a system of techniques and knowledge to empower you to take birth back and to believe in you innate ability to birth. It aims to de-hypnotise you from the general fear surrounding birth and the idea that birth is painful and scary. It also enables you to have a comfortable birth in the most calm and natural way. HypnoBirthing can also help you have a healthier and more joyful pregnancy and postnatal period and allow you to decrease the fear-tension-pain syndrome which many women encounter during birth.
Despite all the progress we have made in the modern society, we have become disconnected from our own bodies. We are often afraid of birth because of all the stories we have heard and the films we have seen. We can be afraid of what is happening in our own body when we don’t understand what is happening. We then experience tension as a result of this fear which fights against our natural bodily processes, preventing them from working as they should or causing pain which again ends as yet another scary birth story.
The HypnoBirthing® program empowers you to to work with and release your fears about birth and the postnatal period enabling you to have a more joyful empowering birth. Once you have confronted and listened to your fears, you can listen to and connect with your body and baby better, and this allows you to open up your body to birthing and have a more comfortable, calm and safe birth. It is a matter of trust and belief in your body and your baby.
