You are welcome to attend a course at anytime during your pregnancy. Most expectant parents attend a full course somewhere between 20 and 30 weeks. If you are 35 weeks+ my intensive hypnobirthing course might be a better option for you.

No! Hypnobirthing gets it's roots from hypnotherapy and works by utilising the power of the mind to relax the body. Whilst some mothers are able to achieve a deep state of relaxation during birth, this is quite different from the kind of stage hypnosis you are more likely to be familiar with.

Yes! Hypnobirthing is for ALL women and ALL births. We cover all the evidence-based information you need to make informed choices about birth and provide all our mothers with the knoweldge and tools they need to have a positive birth experience. Whether you birth naturally, are induced, or have a c-section, whether your baby is in the head down, back-to-back or breech position. Hypnobirthing can help you to feel calmer, more in control and more prepared, however your baby's birth pans out.

Every birth person is different. For some mothers, reading a book and listening to affirmations are enough, whilst for others it isn't. The trouble is, you don't really know which person you are until you are in labour! I would highly recommend a course as it goes much deeper than the book alone plus you have the added benefits of asking questions, connecting with other parents and receiving ongoing support.
