Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a childbirth education method that utilizes self-hypnosis, relaxation techniques, and breathing exercises to help expectant parents prepare for a more comfortable and positive birth experience. It focuses on reducing fear & anxiety, promoting relaxation, and enhancing the body's natural ability to give birth.
When should I start a Hypnobirthing course?
It's never too early to start preparing your mind & body for birth! But I recommended doing a Hypnobirthing course between 20 & 30 weeks pregnant. Starting earlier gives you and your partner time to practice, understand the techniques, and integrate them into your daily routine which will increase the likelihood of them being more effective and feeling like second nature during birth.
Is Hypnobirthing only for natural births?
No, Hypnobirthing can be adapted to various births including natural births, medicated births, induced births, and even c-sections. The techniques learned in Hypnobirthing can be valuable in promoting a positive birthing experience, regardless of the circumstances or the way your birth unfolds.
Can my partner come to a Hypnobirthing Course?
Of course! My Hypnobirthing courses are designed for both expectant parents. Partners play a crucial role in providing support and reinforcement of the techniques during labor helping create a more positive birthing environment so their presence at the course is recommended!
Where are your Hypnobirthing courses?
My private Hypnobirthing courses are held in the comfort of your own home either in person or on zoom, I cover all of Thurrock, Basildon and surrounding area's, I can travel up to 20 miles if you are slightly out of the area but are wanting to work with me.
Can I pay for my Hypnobirthing course through a payment plan?
You can! A £50 non refundable deposit is required for every course initially but a payment can be arranged if this will make matters easier for you, we can discuss payment options via a phone chat or zoom call after you've paid your deposit & secured your place.
