Giving birth can be an empowering and positive experience.

Here's Sophie explaining the course in a quick YouTube clip

My Calm HypnoBirthing classes in South East London are intended to help you have the most natural childbirth possible, using easily-learned self hypnosis and breathing techniques. Whatever kind of birth you're planning - homebirth, hospital, birthing centre - HypnoBirthing does help.

HypnoBirthing is deeply relaxing and effective, and allows your mind and your body to work in harmony, the way nature intended for you and your baby. Boost your confidence and learn about your amazing birthing body.

HypnoBirthing will train you to:

1. Release fear using methods which allow you to be relaxed and confident for the birth of your baby

2. Self-hypnotise; inducing deep relaxation

3. Use massage techniques - stimulating endorphins, your body's natural anaesthetic

4. Visualise your birth to keep you grounded, serene and positive

5. Understand how your mind and body work together efficiently and comfortably

The benefits of HypnoBirthing:

1. Allows your baby to enter the world calmly and gently and drug free

2. With HypnoBirthing you are likely to experience a natural, calm, comfortable birth

3. It often shortens the length of labour

4. HypnoBirthing lessens the physical impact of childbirth

5. The Birth Partner is actively involved, he knows that he has played an important role in the birth of his child

6. You will be more alert and in control

7. You may find you don't need any pain relief at all
