Hypnotherapy utilises this state to facilitate positive change. It is a safe, relaxing and enjoyable experience during which you remain fully in control. There is no magic to achieving success with self-hypnosis. Almost anyone who chooses to can reach deep relaxation and redirected focus.

HypnoBirthing is a method of mental and physical preparation for childbirth. Parents are taught how to achieve deep levels of relaxation through self-hypnosis, guided imagery, and visualisation for easier, safer and more comfortable birthing.

When having your baby with HypnoBirthing, what you will experience is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book. You will be conversant and in good spirits, totally relaxed, but fully in control. You will be aware of your body's contractions but will be able to determine the extent to which you feel them. You will experience your birthing in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, without the fear and tension that cause pain. Your body's natural anaesthesia (endorphins) will replace the stress hormones that create pain. When it is time for your baby to be born you will be fully awake and involved.
