Yes! Hypnobirthing dates back to the early 1900s, when British Doctor Grantly Dick-Read observed that without fear people have more comfortable and quicker births. He spread the word and now the benefits are now widely accepted by midwives and doctors. In essence it is mind over matter and lots of women have proven it works (I have many clients that will vouch for this too!)

At The Om Moms I offer the full Hypnobirthing toolbox and birth preparation course. This is your FULL package to gain ALL the knowledge and relaxation methods. If you have done Hypnobirthing before or a full antenatal course (not your local hospital course as these tend to be very different) and you just want to buy the breathing techniques, relaxation audios and positive affirmations head to my shop and purchase the ‘Hypnobirthing bundle’. Please note although this has all the breathing and audios its does not cover the practical side, what happens before birth and a walk through of your birth!

Hypnobirthing is designed for everyone from those wanting a natural drug free birth to ‘all the drugs’. Who knows you may change your mind at any point! Even with a planned caesarean you can use the techniques so Hypnobirthing is for everyone regardless of how, where, or when your baby decides to enter the world.

Birth partners play a huge role in supporting you physically and emotionally during both pregnancy and birth. Somethimes they can feel a little ‘lost’ in the labour room and this course will guide them down the path they need to be on.  So yes birth partners are welcome! Whether they want to come or not is a different matter but this is something for you to do together, to prepare, and to connect. However there are occasions when you can’t come together and that’s ok too. If an in person or online class I will act as your birth partner for such exercises and if they want to catch up after we will do an extra zoom call to recap.

It is recommended anytime after 20 weeks but I would say whenever you feel ready! This is not an exam we are cramming last minute for. Try to come with plenty of time to practice (as it is ALL in the practice) saying that I have had couples come to me at 37 weeks and still Hypnobirth their baby into the world.  So with that said whenever you are ready to start thinking about, planning for, and getting super excited about birth.

Here at The Om Moms we have modernised our course to suit current moms to be. When I studied to be a Hypnobirthing instructor we were shown videos of silent women giving birth at home in the water. This however is not true on most parts. At The Om Moms we recognise you may want to roar like a lion in a hospital room but you will still be using all your valuable Hypnobirthing techniques you have learnt. We focus on breathing, yoga postures and pure zen to get ready and it is not for birth but your pregnancy and motherhood journey too.
