Coastal Birthing and Beyond: Hypnobirthing

Hypnobirthing is based on the philosophy that childbirth is a normal and natural event and firmly believes that birthing should be a rewarding, relaxing and stress free experience where babies come into this world in a atmosphere of gentility, calmness and joy.

Through a well thought out program of deep relaxation, self hypnosis, special breathing techniques, visualization, affirmations and education hypnobirthing returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and birth her baby in safety and with ease.
Hypnobirthing is based on the belief that severe discomfort does not need to be a natural accompaniment of birthing when a woman is properly prepared and trusts her birthing body.

Hypnobirthing prepares the woman physically and mentally for the birth of her baby and prepares the partner/support person on how to work with you during labour to make your birth more comfortable, relaxing and stress free. HypnoBirthing teaches the woman and her partner how to achieve progressive relaxation. The couple will learn how to quickly enter relaxation and how to deepen the relaxation during the birthing process. When the woman is in a relaxed state she will be calm and relaxed and free to work with her body and baby the way nature intended. By the end of the course you and your partner will feel empowered, excited and ready for your birth. Your partner will feel confident in their role as your support person and the methods they can incorporate to get you into a deep state of relaxation quickly. The skills and methods that you learn to promote a calm and stress free labour and birth a life long skills that you take with you following the birth of your baby.
