Positive Birth Classes
HYPNOBIRTHING AUSTRALIA CLASSES
We at Hypnobirthing Australia™ know the ingredients required for a positive birth, that is why we are Australia’s most popular childbirth education course taught privately and in hospitals & birthing centres throughout Australia!
When you learn hypnobirthing, the birth of your baby can be a more calm and relaxed experience, one where you are in the driver’s seat, rather than feeling like a passenger, regardless of how your baby decides to enter this world (be it naturally or via c-section).
In your hypnobirthing classes, you will learn breathing, relaxation, massage, acupressure, and self-hypnosis techniques, along with knowledge and tools to assist you in making well-informed decisions while pregnant, during birth, and beyond. These are skills for life!
I am available for classes in North Nowra in my very cozy TeePee/Tent, or as listed on my shop for bookings in alternative areas. Alternatively you can email me to enquire or for more information.
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is as much a philosophy of birthing as it is techniques. When a mother and her birth partner are able to approach their birth without fear and with knowledge, good support, and tools for the birth – then their birthing can be a positive and empowering experience.
We prepare ourselves both body and mind leading up to birth – so by the time birth comes around, we go into ‘automatic’ mode. Our mindset is positive, and this has a physiological effect on our body (i.e. we are not as likely to go into that ‘fight or flight response’). Because we are calm and feel safe, we release a cocktail of wonderful hormones (including endorphins and oxytocin) that reduce discomfort and help labour move along with ease.
We have our birth partner totally on board – they know what to do, and what to say, this allows us to release and let go.
We’ve thought ahead regarding our birth preferences and discussed them with our caregivers and birth partner prior to the birth. This ensures that everyone is in the loop and we can just switch off our neocortex during the birth and get on with the most important job… bringing our baby into the world safely.
