Hypnobirthing is a complete ante-natal experience.
It helps you approach childbirth with confidence by teaching techniques to manage fear and stay calm.
It combines breathing exercises, deep relaxation, and visualisation.
Hypnobirthing also teaches you about the muscles and hormones that are important in birth and the choices that you have in your maternity care
to ensure that you are getting the best support for you and your baby.
Breathing & Relaxation
Read More
Focusing on breathing techniques is an essential part of hypnobirthing as when we learn to create relaxation through breathing we signal to our brains that we are safe.
This means that all of the natural responses that we need for birth including hormones and muscle relaxation start to take effect.
Breathing also helps us to manage the different stages of labour and during hypnobirthing you learn breathing techniques to help to birth your baby.
Mindset & Affirmations

Where the mind goes the body follows.
It is important that we create a positive mindset where we believe in our abilities during pregnancy, labour and birth.
Affirmations work well for this as your mind will believe whatever you tell it and if this is positive affirmations, the effect can be very powerful.
On the hypnobirthing course, we look at how you create the mindset which works with your body positively and instinctively.
Visualisation
Read More
Visualisation is a mental technique that involves creating detailed images in your mind to achieve specific goals or outcomes.
It uses the brain’s ability to imagine scenarios as real, as it doesn’t know the difference between fiction and reality, which impacts both emotional and physical responses.
During hypnobirthing we look at how to create powerful visualisations for your pregnancy, labour and birth.
Muscles used in Birth
Read More
During the stages of labour, different muscles in the uterus are used to enable the baby to move through the birth canal and be born.
In our hypnobirthing course we explore how and why these work and what can prevent them from being used effectively.
Hormones used in Birth
Read More
Hormones play a key role in labour and birth.
During our hypnobirthing course, we learn about the hormones which are invaluable in playing a positive part, for example oxytocin and how powerful they can be.
We also look at the hormones that we don’t want as part of the labour and birth e.g. adrenaline and what we can do to prevent it from being released
Choices in Birth

Hypnobirthing empowers you with knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to make informed decisions about your birth.
It helps you understand your rights, your options, and the science behind different interventions, so you can choose what feels right for you and your baby.
Having this knowledge helps to feel calm, confident and in control throughout your pregnancy and birth.
Antenatal Classes

Hypnobirthing is so much more than just breathing techniques.
It’s a complete antenatal education that helps you feel truly prepared for birth.
You’ll learn how to use breathing, relaxation, and mindset tools to create a sense of calm and focus.
We’ll also explore how your body’s muscles and hormones work together during labour, and how understanding your options can help you make the right choices for you and your baby.
It’s all about giving you the knowledge, confidence, and support to feel in control of your birth experience.
Pregnancy & Post-natal Support
Read More
While pregnancy is often described as a joyful time, it doesn’t always feel that way – and that’s okay.
If you’re finding pregnancy difficult or feeling isolated after birth, please know you are not alone.
Postnatal depression and low mood can be overwhelming, but with gentle support through reflexology, hypnotherapy, and lived experience, we can help you.
