Hypnobirthing - What is Hypnobirthing
The hypnobirthing Australian program is positive childbirth education uniquely designed for mothers and their birth partners. When a birthing mother is prepared with knowledge about the birth process, tool to stay positive, calm and more comfortable through labour, has good support and a method of preparation for both mind and body , birth can be a very positive and empowering experience.
The ‘hypno’ part of hypnobirthing refers to the hypnotherapy that we use to let go of fears and condition ourselves to release endorphins during during our birth. With the help of hypnotherapy, the birth of your baby can be more calm and relaxed experience, one where you are in the drivers seat rather than feeling like a passenger. This is likely to reduce the need for interventions during you birthing.
Hypnobirthing uses a combination of different techniques and philosophies from throughout the world, that have existed for many many years.
You will learn breathing , relaxation, massage, acupressure points and self hypnosis techniques, along the knowledge and tools to assist you to make well –informed decsions along the way. Your birth partner takes on a special role and they will learn how they can best support you throughout labour and birth.
Natual birth is not a new concept! Our ancient mothers and sisters birthed naturally without the use of anaesthesia or many interventions that are common today. However we also recognise that medical science can sometimes save lives.
IF you do require interventions, or a caesarean birth , the use of self hypnosis and deep relaxation techniques leading up to, during and after your birth can be of great advantage to both yourself and your baby.
You deserve special care as you make this exciting and unique journey with joyous anticipitation and confidence.
