WHAT IS HYPNOBIRTHING?

Hypnobirthing is as much a philosophy about birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing and stress-free birth.

It is a 12 hour program which incorporates deep relaxation and breathing techniques, self hypnosis, visualisations, affirmations and education. The basis of the program is that childbirth is a normal, natural and healthy human experience for the vast majority of women.

For healthy women and their babies - birth should be viewed as a natural, normal process - not an illness or a medical event that needs to be managed. Your birthing day will be remembered for the rest of your lives - and this experience should be joyfully anticipated and celebrated - not needlessly interfered with or feared.

The Hypnobirthing Australia Positive Birth program uses a combination of different techniques and philosophies from around the world - that have existed for many, many years.  The program is focused on four key areas in preparation for a positive birth. Tools, support, knowledge and preparation. Leaving you with the confidence to trust in your birthing instincts and to make well-informed decisions along the way. 

​

By investing in  your birth and completing the Hypnobirthing Australia program you will gain an understanding of how the birthing muscles can work as they were designed to. You will learn how to completely relax and  trust the process of birth.

When you have learnt how to achieve this kind of relaxation, your body is free of the resistance that fear creates. You can then tune into your own natural birthing instincts which allows for a more calm and comfortable birth -  and who wouldn't want that?
