Why Hypnobirthing?

Culture of Fear

From time immemorial our birth culture has been one of fear, with horror stories passed down from generations of women, strangers, friends and colleagues. British media shows 'warts and all' documentaries following women having difficult, painful and frightening birth experiences, where mum has to be rescued by medical staff.

Confident and Calm

Quite simply, we have lost much of our innate knowledge about how birth should be. Hypnobirthing aims to create the learning environment where magic happens - mothers, fathers, families and friends experience the confident and calm  decision making that suit her body and her baby, using the KGHypnobirthing tools, techniques and information to make empowered choices that will affect her family positively for life.

Role of the birth partner

Hypnobirthing is for everyone - and everyone includes partners  - which many antenatal courses overlook. Partners report feeling protective, confident and happy that they have a central role in supporting mum and baby as the birth progresses. Partners talk about how much more bonded they feel to their baby, and how much closer they become to mum as they are invited into the birthing plans, owning their spot bedside mum, using the techniques and working the scripts with mum, reassuring her and helping her to remain calm and focussed. Partners usually are the biggest sceptics when they arrive at our course, and our biggest supporters by the end.
