HypnoBirthing®
What is HypnoBirthing®?
HypnoBirthing® is a childbirth education program designed to help you achieve a satisfying, relaxing and stress-free birth. It focuses on education, visualizations and relaxation techniques based on self-hypnosis. It also focuses on dispelling the fears associated with childbirth so that parents can go into their birth feeling calm and confident.
We have been programmed to expect childbirth to be a certain way, for most women they expect excruciating pain. But “What we think influences how we feel”. For instance, if you recall an unpleasant event in your life, you will surely tense up just thinking about it. Fear will cause tension which in turn will cause pain. And the fear of the pain drives the pain. HypnoBirthing® focuses on teaching you how to relax your mind. And when your mind is relaxed, your body will be relaxed allowing your uterine muscles to open more easily which will lead to an easier birth.
HypnoBirthing® will teach you that when the mother is healthy and in the absence of special circumstances, Pain and Tension do not have to be an accompaniment of Labor. HypnoBirthing® is an incredible tool to get yourself in a desired peaceful and confident frame of mind by the time of arrival of your baby. And the earlier you start, the more time you have to practice.
