What is Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration, a state of mind and body in which we can communicate suggestions to our unconscious mind. This part of our mind influences what we think, how we feel, and the choices we make.
Using Hypnosis during birth you will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed. The courses will teach you the art of using your own natural birthing instincts.

You will learn:

How the body works with regards to birth
How to manage your contractions
How to release fear surrounding birth – and where it all came from in the first place
To remain calm and in control
Valuable relaxation tools
How to use breathing techniques through different stages of labour

The Calmer Birth Workshop is a great alternative for anyone who cannot commit themselves or does not wish to complete the full HypnoBirthing Course. It is also useful as a refresher course if you have used HypnoBirthing in the past. The Calmer Birth Express Workshop has been devised to teach you valuable techniques for birth in just 6 hours. These techniques with practice will help you in having the birth you desire.
