Benefits of Hypnobirthing

There are so MANY benefits of hypnobirthing. No matter how you are planning to birth, the knowledge & skills that we cover as part of my  10-hour course will dramatically enhance your birthing experience.

Here 5 ways that Hypnobirthing with Connected Mother & Baby will support you to have a more positive birth:

1. Hypnobirthing reduces Fear

   
   

   If you are feeling nervous or worried about giving birth, it is no wonder....The images we are exposed to on television & in films and the media show birth to be risky, painful & something that needs to be managed.  This causes us to fear birth & to doubt in our body's innate ability. Our subconscious mind absorbs all of this information & stores it as a protective mechanism.

   
   

   This understanding is fundamental to Hypnobirthing because your mind triggers the production of certain hormones. During pregnancy, labour & birth these hormones can either interfere with & hinder your body's physiology or support & enhance it. Hypnobirthing teaches tools that help to clear the negative beliefs we store around birth & replace them with positive ones. When your mind trusts that your body can birth your baby & that birth is safe, you can relax into the process, the hormones of labour can flow & everything works more efficiently.

   
   
   
   

2. Hypnobirthing helps to regulate your nervous system

    Hypnobirthing teaches a variety of tools that can be used to regulate your nervous system, keeping you in a calm and relaxed state. From this space of calm & safety, your muscles relax allowing the body to work in the way it was designed, to move your baby down and out into your arms.

1. Hypnobirthing builds trust in your body

   
   

   Our bodies are truly incredible! During this course, you will learn all about the female reproductive system & how the muscles & hormones work during the process of birth. When you understand the intricacies of the systems that we have in place, you can begin to appreciate how your biology is already designed to support you & your baby during labour & birth. With this knowledge you will gain confidence in your body & trust in your ability to birth your baby. You can also plan to work with your physiology to support the magnificent process of birth. 

1. Hypnobirthing supports you to make informed decisions

   
   

   My course will teach you how to be an active participant in your baby's birth. You should be at the centre of all decisions made around your care; this is your body, your baby & your choice. I want you to feel confident that the decisions made during birth are your own & that they come from a place of knowledge & power rather than fear. You will learn how to ask questions, advocate for yourself, make informed decisions & be ready to navigate any unexpected turns calmly & with confidence.

1. Enhances Partner connection & support

   
   

   Preparing for birth together is an amazing way to deepen your connection as parents-to-be. My hypnobirthing course is designed to equip your birth partner with the knowledge & skills to nurture & support you throughout pregnancy & birth. Rather than feeling like a helpless bystander, the birth partner will have practical tools that can be used to provide physical & emotional support.

Hypnobirthing is beneficial for all types of birth; be that a homebirth, a hospital birth or a planned caesarean. The wisdom & confidence that you will gain from this course will support you throughout pregnancy, birth & the transition into parenthood.

If you feel called to Hypnobirthing, I would love to support you on your journey to a positive & empowered birth.
