Hypnobirthing is as much as a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentility, calm and joy. When a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically and mentally, she can experience that sort of joy, birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable way. Through BirthDays hypnobirthing programme of deep relaxation, special breathing techniques, visualisation, affirmations, and education, hypnobirthing returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby in safety and with ease.

Hypnobirthing is based on the belief that severe discomfort does not need to be a natural accompaniment of birthing when a woman is properly prepared and trusts her birthing body
