  • Self-Hypnosis teaches you to mentally switch off from your immediate surroundings and enter a dream world that is safe and calm. You are in an alternate state of awareness where everything around you feels distant and calm - it really is like day-dreaming. In self hypnosis, you are mentally receptive. The positive suggestions given to you along with knowledge of how your body gives birth. Gives you confidence that you have of the power within your body to give birth naturally. This prepares your body and your mind for a confident birth

  • Visualisation helps you to mentally “see” and affect structures within your body e.g. your muscles, your cervix, your birthing zones and promotes hormone balance. You also visualise and communicate with your baby in your womb.
