What is HypnoBirthing?
A wonderfully relaxing and stress-free method of birthing.
Hypnosis for Fertility, Birth & Beyond
“Creating a natural bridge between mind and body, hypnosis eases the way through conception, birth, and baby’s first weeks.”
The Benefits of HypnoBirthing
HypnoMothering for Childbirth is a thorough, thoughtful childbirth preparation course, set apart by its focus on helping you work with your body (rather than against it) during labour and birth. You will be taught about breathing, relaxation, and given techniques to calm the nervous system and quiet the mind throughout all stages of labour. The course also equips parents to have positive conversations with healthcare providers at every stage of the process. Through hypnosis (a natural state of selective, focused attention), expectant parents learn rapid and instant self-relaxation, breathing techniques to support the work of the body through labour and birth, and self-hypnosis to quiet the mind and create emotional calm. People using hypnosis for childbirth often report less pain, faster births, and a more satisfying birthing experience. Not only are the tools and techniques you learn through HypnoBirthing powerful in applying to your birth, they also offer many benefits throughout everyday life, making it a philosophy.

Parent Reviews
"Such a fantastic course, my partner and i thoroughly enjoyed it. All the information was very straight forward with techniques adapted to your style and comfort-ability level. The literature and additional resources provided gave a very simple yet wide range of explanations and guidelines on how to have a peaceful healthy birth with partner and baby where you are 100% in control. Definitely recommend signing up for this course".

This course will give you the tools to trust your instincts and let your body bring your baby into the world the way nature intended. Becs is a wonderful teacher, and I am so grateful to her for introducing me to Hypnobirthing".
