Auckland Hypnobirthing

The Calm Hypnobirthing Course is a practical antenatal class where you and your birth partner will learn exactly what to do during birth to have the most calm, safe and rewarding birthing experience possible.

You and your chosen birth partner will learn how to birth. This involves practical application of a positive mindset, breathing techniques, relaxation and visualisation exercises. Once you have learnt the tools you will be empowered to practice them and they will help you to confidently prepare for your birth.

The format is informative, fun and friendly. Some parents choose to do The Calm Hypnobirthing Course as well as standard antenatal classes, but doing both isn’t necessary.

Most parents will take the course anywhere from 14 – 37 weeks, the ideal time frame is during your second trimester. This will give you lots of time to prepare and practice so that you feel confident when your birthing day arrives.

Don’t be fooled by the name! Hypnobirthing isn’t some wacky out there thing. It is a very grounded and time tested approach to birth that gives parents the practical tools to be calm and empowered in pregnancy and birth. Parents have commented that The Calm Hypnobirthing Course is one the best antenatal classes in auckland!

"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."
