Hypnobirthing classes offer you a calm and empowering approach to childbirth, focusing on relaxation, breathing techniques, and positive visualisations to reduce anxiety and pain during labour. These classes teach tools to help manage stress and create a more peaceful birthing experience, fostering confidence in both the body’s natural ability to give birth and in the birthing process itself. By combining mindfulness, relaxation and education, hypnobirthing aims to create a supportive, low stress environment for both you and your baby. Our Midwives providing the classes are certified by the world-renowned KGH Katherine Graves Hypnobirthing company. It is suggested to register for this course in your second trimester.
