Hypnobirthing, The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme

Are you looking for a way to feel more in control of your birthing experience?

Maybe you are afraid that birth will be too much for you to cope with. Lots of us have seen birth stories played out on TV and are scared.

Well the skills that I teach are designed especially to help you to remain calm and achieve the right birth on the day.  One which is looked forward to with happy anticipation or excitement.  One that is a joy to look back on for years and years to come.

We can’t promise that you will have the perfect birth (whatever that is!), but we can help you to be in control of how you react to the situations surrounding the birth of your baby.

Through learning breathing and relaxation techniques and with the help of your birth partner, you will learn how to be calm and relaxed instead of fighting your body and feeling fearful.  You will gain great knowledge and understanding of the birth process and the best way for you to steer your way through this amazing journey to the point where you hold your baby in your arms.

There are really good skills for the dads/birth partners to learn in order to be really helpful in birth and avoid feeling helpless or like a “spare part”.  They learn how to help release your natural pain killers (endorphins) to ensure that you are as comfortable as you can be throughout labour and birth. Even the sceptical dads tend to enjoy the sessions and the biscuits at half time are usually great!
