In this interactive workshop, hypnobirthing teacher and bestselling author Siobhan Miller will share the science behind hypnobirthing and equip you with all the practical tools, techniques and expert knowledge you need to achieve the best birth possible.
A form of antenatal education, hypnobirthing is an approach to birth that is both evidence-based and logical. With no hypnosis involved, you will learn about the physiology of birth and come to understand how labour works on a muscular and hormonal level, and, most importantly, how you can harness the power of proven relaxation techniques to work with your body rather than against it.
This class will enable you to navigate your birth experience with confidence, equipping you with practical tools that will help you to feel calm and in control throughout. It doesn’t matter how your baby appears, or when, or with what help; what matters is that you are fully informed of the choices available, and that you feel calm, respected and supported each step of the way. After this class, you will feel more confident and empowered to make the right decisions for you and your baby, allowing you to have the best birth possible.
