FAQs
What are the benefits of Hypnobirthing?
The list is endless! But the biggies are reduced anxiety and fear surrounding childbirth, possible shorter labour durations and a decrease in the need for medical intervention. You and your birth partner will also grow in confidence knowing what your amazing body can do.
Who can benefit from Hypnobirthing classes?
Hypnobirthing classes are beneficial for pregnant people as well as their birth partners who are seeking a more relaxed and empowering birthing experience. My classes are suitable for first-time parents as well as those who have previously given birth.
When should I start Hypnobirthing classes?
It is recommended to start Hypnobirthing classes around the 20th week of pregnancy to allow enough time to learn and practice the techniques before labour begins. However, it's never too late to start, and I welcome participants at any stage of pregnancy.
What can I expect from your Hypnobirthing classes?
My classes typically consist of informal discussions, relaxation exercises, guided visualisations, and practical techniques to prepare you mentally and physically for childbirth.
Are partners encouraged to attend Hypnobirthing classes?
Absolutely! I highly encourage birth partners to attend classes as they play a crucial role in supporting the birthing person during labour and birth. Partners will learn how to effectively assist with relaxation techniques and provide emotional support throughout the birthing process.
Is Hypnobirthing suitable for all types of births?
Yes, Hypnobirthing techniques can be beneficial regardless of the type of birth you are planning, whether it's a natural home birth, a water birth, a hospital birth, or even if medical interventions become necessary. This also includes c-sections. The techniques taught in my classes can help you stay calm and focused, whatever your birth preferences may be.
