Why Hypnobirthing?
Why do a Confident Hypnobirthing course?
- Can reduce the likelihood of needing medical intervention, by supporting your body to labour without the tension fear creates.
- Supports you to conserve your energy during birth, so you feel more alert and present when you meet your baby.
- Can lessen the shallow, rapid breathing that fear often triggers.
- Breathing and relaxation techniques can help manage pain, working with your body's own natural pain relieving hormones.
- Some parents find their labour progresses more smoothly when they're relaxed rather than tense.
- Helps you follow the lead of your body and your baby, so birth can unfold more gently.
- Gives your birth partner an active role in your pregnancy and birth, so they feel confident helping you, rather than just standing by.
- Many parents say their babies seem calm, alert, and feed well after birth.
- Life-long breathing and relaxation techniques you can use well beyond birth, many parents tell me they still use them years later.
- Many parents describe their birth as a positive, beautiful experience.
I now feel relaxed, well informed and excited about the birth.
"Before we learned about HypnoBirthing, I felt quite anxious, fearful and ill-informed.
Now I feel really excited about the experience and realise that I am capable of birthing my baby in a calm and comfortable environment.
Thank you so much Claire!! We feel much better prepared for our experience and are very grateful to have met you".
Danielle Murray, First time Mum.
"I feel more confident in knowing that my body is made to birth naturally by the physiological information provided in class.
I am also feeling myself shift into a more relaxed and self assured approach towards my birth.
I enjoyed the practical exercises such as deep relaxation techniques, breathing techniques and the massage. I recommend Auckland Hypnobirthing to all parents to be."
Juleen Tjauw, First time Mum.
"I was feeling anxious and scared about giving birth without an epidural.
Now I feel empowered and relaxed in the knowledge that giving birth is what my body was designed to do."
Krystal, Third time Mum.
"I enjoyed getting a better understanding and also having things explained and not just reading from the book.
I feel confident, and I know what to expect and what to do. I'm relaxed and not afraid 🙂
Thank you so much!"
Suzie Hawkey, First time Mum.
