Hypnobirthing is a way to make the birthing process a more positive experience.
Hi, I'm Claire Yee
I'm the founder of Auckland Hypnobirthing, and I experienced the amazing benefits of hypnobirthing first hand when I gave birth to our second baby, Oli. I am a certified hypnobirthing practitioner and I’ve shared natural birthing classes in Auckland, and online, with thousands of expecting parents.
This has driven my passion to help other women to believe in themselves and their natural ability to give birth safely and easily.
I absolutely love supporting parents to go from feeling anxious, to feeling calm and excited about labour and birth.
Watch my calm hypnobirthing experience with Oli below...
“Hypnobirthing is a very positive, natural approach to calm birthing.”
"I was a bit concerned before about how we would deal with the birth and also how involved and useful I would be.
I now feel so much better and have seen a big change in both of our attitudes to birth and I know that I have an important part to play.
Hypnobirthing has taught me a new way of understanding birth that is about applying breathing techniques, relaxing and removing the pain / fear focus that we were all brought up to believe is inevitable.
Claire's course created a great atmosphere of reassurance and support with excellent information. I'm convinced that our birth will be much better for it."
GREG, FIRST TIME DAD
"My body was opening easily and naturally. I felt confident, I felt safe, I felt secure.
Strong surges were met with beautiful birth breathing and the odd primal groan.
My husband received our son, and placed him on my chest... He stayed there for an hour. It was the best birth experience we could have wished for."
REBECCA, SECOND TIME MUM
“The Calm Hypnobirthing Course gives you tools to focus internally to understand what’s happening to your body during pregnancy and birth.
After coming along to your hypnobirthing training I’m now feeling calm and empowered about the choice to birth naturally.
We now have the tools to support the process by staying calm and allowing my body to do what it was designed to do”
Debbie - Second time Mum
“Hypnobirthing is not as wacky as the name suggests! It is about taking control of the birthing experience and visualising the birth that you want.
Before the classes my perceptions of birth were all negative. I had assumed that it would be a painful distressing experience.
We attended hypnobirthing in Auckland with Claire, and these classes have totally changed this view and made me realise that we can take control of the birth to make it a positive experience.”

The Calm Hypnobirthing Course is one of the regular Birthcare antenatal classes, helping to prepare you and your partner for a positive birth experience.
The format is informative, fun and friendly. Aside from teaching you breathing techniques and helping you to feel more confident about your birth, coming along to these pregnancy classes in Auckland will help you to meet like minded couples and have the opportunity to form a coffee group that will become an amazing support for the early years with your baby.
Some parents choose to do The Calm Hypnobirthing Course as well as standard antenatal classes, but doing both isn’t necessary.
How to know which antenatal class in Auckland to choose from.
There are many choices available to you for antenatal education. When deciding which Auckland antenatal classes are right for you, consider what you most want to get out of it. The Calm Hypnobirthing Course will give you and your birth partner a very grounded and practical way to prepare for your birthing day and is taught by Claire Yee, who is a certified hypnobirthing practitioner. This is a particularly good course if you are feeling nervous about birth because you will learn the tools to release any fears so that you can be calm and confident as you bring your baby into the world.
“We loved the re-framing of language and learning more about what the body is doing throughout the birthing process. It has made it feel ‘lighter’ and decreased the anxiety of the unknown.
We now feel we have tools and techniques to work with and lean on throughout the process.
As a couple we are now prepared as a team and both feel more confident in our roles. Your
Auckland birthing classes give essential information which is vital to empower all parents to be.
Thank you so much Claire for sharing your wisdom with us and providing us with tools and information to look at our upcoming birth with positivity and ease.”
Ali and Jay, First time parents.
“From experiencing two traumatic and fast births I was apprehensive and more than a little terrified of the arrival of our daughter. Your gentle and positive teaching / sharing of Hypnobirthing techniques has created a deep sense of calm through self awareness and feelings akin to euphoria in my anticipation of this birth.
My partner has embraced and supported this process and together we feel positive, prepared and excited about our hypnobirthing birth.
Hypnobirthing has been a beautiful, birth affirming learning opportunity which I absolutely recommend to anyone in New Zealand as an essential support for Mums and birth partners. Thank you for sharing this incredible experience and for supporting our desire to give our baby the most natural and calm entry into this world.”
Mary, Third time Mum.

"We knew right from when we arrived that we wanted to do a hypno birth in NZ and we are so pleased we went with Claire’s course. It was packed with information and it demystified a lot for us. Even from just practicing the hypnobirthing basics it has got us feeling prepared and excited for birth."
