what is hypnobirthing
Great question.
For something so brilliant, the name doesn’t help.
Simply put, hypnobirthing gives you everything you need for positivity in birth.
You might imagine it’s not for you, that it sounds woo woo and probably takes place in a field. You wouldn’t be alone in that thinking. However, once you get past the ‘hypno’ bit, you’ll find a common sense approach to birth, for practical people who like things based in science and evidence.
Hypnobirthing is powerful antenatal coaching. Grounded in the physiology of how your body and mind can work together perfectly, to birth your baby calmly and positively. It’s not magic, but just makes sense.
Birth can be unpredictable. However, with hypnobirthing tools, you are giving yourself the best possible chance of positivity in birth, no matter how or where you choose to do it.
