Introduction to Hypnobirthing
Hypnosis & Mindfulness for Birth
Often referred to as Hypnobirthing
What is it?
Hypnobirthing is a method used during pregnancy, labour and birth that helps release fear and tension, replacing them with calm and confidence.
It blends simple but powerful tools such as:
💨 Breathing techniques to regulate the nervous system
🌅 Visualisations to help focus the mind and reduce discomfort
🧘♀️ Mindfulness to anchor you in the present
🌀 Self-hypnosis to support relaxation and positive belief systems
These techniques are rooted in an understanding of how birth hormones work and how our thoughts and environment influence the birthing body.
When practised regularly during pregnancy, hypnosis and mindfulness can help you feel more confident, reduce fear, and promote a smoother labour and birth, in any environment.
They are also highly effective tools for the birth partner to use, providing focus, grounding and emotional support throughout the journey.
