HypnoBirthing and Birth By Hypnosis

"Just imagine - instead of screaming and being in pain, welcoming each surge. Feeling peaceful... relaxed... and even smiling as your baby comes closer to you."

HypnoBirthing is a complete antenatal education. Our birthing classes are intended to help you have the most natural childbirth possible, using easily-learned self hypnosis and breathing techniques.

Whatever kind of birth you're planning - homebirth, hospital or birthing centre. HypnoBirthing can help.

What is HypnoBirthing?

HypnoBirthing is a complete birth education programme, that teaches simple but specific self hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques for a better birth.

HypnoBirthing is much more than just self hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth.

With HypnoBirthing, you'll discover that severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labour

You'll learn how to release the fears and anxieties you may currently have about giving birth, and how to overcome previous traumatic births

HypnoBirthing lets you discover and experience the joy and magic of birth - rather than the horrific ordeal everyone else seems hell-bent on telling you about

Most importantly, you'll learn how to put yourself back in control of your birth.

HypnoBirthing doesn't mean you'll be in a trance or a sleep. Rather, you'll be able to chat, and be and in good spirits - totally relaxed, but fully in control. You'll always be aware of what is happening to you, and around you.

HypnoBirthing doesn't require any particular belief system, or prior experience. Some of our mums (and especially Dads!) have been very sceptical at first - until they experience it for themselves.

HypnoBirthing allows you to experience birth in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the birthing muscles of your body from functioning as Nature intended them to.

Karen was originally trained in the 'Mongan Method' by Marie Mongan, the founder of this established and respected method. However because of her considerable experience of teaching mothers, Midwives and Hypnotherapists in the UK, she has refined her methods to be more supportive of their needs, and now works independently from the American Hypnobirthing Institute.
