GBM HYPNOBIRTH ‘THE GOWRI WAY' - SPECIALISED VISUALISATION COURSE

What Is our GBM Visualisation Course

The aim is to help you to build confidence, reduce fear, and strengthen the connection between mother, partner, and baby with the Gentle Birth Method Hypnobirth ‘The Gowri Way’.

This live, guided programme supports your mental and emotional preparation for birth through self‑hypnosis, visualisation, breathwork, movement, education, and practical tools for labour and recovery. Developed over more than 30 years, it helps mothers and couples feel calm, informed, and supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period.

We recommend beginning this programme anytime from 20 weeks of pregnancy onwards.

Who is this course for?

This course is for mothers and couples who want to feel more prepared, more confident, and more connected as they approach birth.

It is especially helpful if you are looking for a calm, guided, and holistic approach to pregnancy and labour that combines mental preparation with practical support.

You can choose between a 4-week small group course or a 3-week private 1-to-1 course with Dr Gowri Motha. Both cover the same core content

Partners are encouraged to join and welcome

  • 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.

    • Weekly Pregnancy Yoga from when you start the Hypnobirth classes all the way through until you give birth. Our specialised Pregnancy Yoga with Micromovements for Birth includes 30 minutes of GBM Hypnobirth ‘The Gowri Way’ at the end of each session. The yoga classes are held on Wednesdays from 6 -7:30pm.
