Hypnobirthing Benefits both You and Your Birth Partner:
Many Hypnobirthing Practitioners are mums, just like me... mums who, having used the skills and techniques for the births of their own babies, were so inspired that they wanted to learn how to teach others so they could empower their births too. Read all about the benefits of hypnobirthing for Mums below.
Us 'Hypno-mums' have tried hypnosis for birth and found that it works amazingly ...and I think that must be the biggest testimonial – because shouldn't life always be about practising what you preach? Read why I decided to become a Hypnobirthing Practitioner here. For your Birth Partner, whether it's your Husband, your Mum or your best mate, make sure they are not overlooked because when it comes to giving birth their support and complete confidence in their ability to support you can make all the difference between a calm, relaxed birth and a stressed, adrenaline fueled one. Read why your Birth Partner should be involved below... |

Hypnobirthing benefits for Birth Partners:
Birth partners are often overlooked when it comes to giving birth but their support and complete confidence in their ability to support their partner can make all the difference between a calm, relaxed birth and a stressed, adrenaline fueled one.
Hypnobirthing certainly doesn’t require you to be a hypnotist and read great long scripts with flowery language to your partner. You are simply shown how to create a safe, secure and protected atmosphere so she can take herself into a relaxed, hypnotic state. You will be taught powerful triggers to help re-focus her attention and breathing whenever that may become necessary, ensuring that the two of you work together as an effective team to help bring your baby into the world.
If you decide to do a course, you are in good company; James Cracknell (OBE, British rowing champion and double Olympic gold medallist and adventurer) Matt Dawson (English Rugby Union player) and Tom Fletcher (singer and songwriter) are all Hypnobirth-dads!
