Hypnobirthing is a powerful, scientifically proven method that helps you release fear, trust your body and embrace your birth with confidence. Through deep relaxation, breathing techniques and positive visualizations, you work with your body's natural processes instead of against them.

 

This method is based on the principle that fear creates tension, which can lead to pain and a more difficult birth. With hypnobirthing you break this vicious circle and replace fear with calmness, control and a deep trust in your body and the birthing process. In addition, during the course you will receive realistic, fact-based information about various aspects of childbirth.

What is the 'worst' thing about Hypnobirthing?

The name! Many people think of hypnobirthing as a form of hypnosis where you lose control, but that is absolutely not the case. Hypnobirthing has nothing to do with stage hypnosis. The term 'hypno' simply refers to deep relaxation, a natural state that you also experience when you sleep.

 

Whether you choose to have a home birth, hospital birth or a caesarean section, hypnobirthing helps you to approach your birth experience with peace, confidence and strength. The techniques are not only applicable during labour, but also in other situations where relaxation and focus are important.
