“Hypnobirthing” is just a fancy name for “hypnosis for birth” and the hypnosis part of this course is only one small component of the program.
It is a full childbirth education program that covers so much in only 12 hours of session time.
When I chat to women about hypnobirthing some of them have said that they have bought one of the many books on hypnobirthing, but they just didn’t quite get it, so hypnobirthing didn’t work for them.
Yes, books are great and really worthwhile as a reference to gain more information and to have on hand as a resource, however attending the Hypnobirthing classes will provide you and your partner with so many more benefits and then allow you to understand everything you need to know and practice.
Why?
Because you have someone who is professionally trained and passionate about hypnobirthing, who is then able to demonstrate with you and your partner what hypnobirthing is all about.
As you are practising in class the hypnobirthing practitioner can provide feedback and suggestions to you. Not only that, the hypnobirthing practitioner is then also your motivator, your extra support person who encourages and inspires you to practice what you have learnt and to answer the questions you will inevitably have.
The more you practice, the more you will understand and believe in what you have learnt and then the more positive your hypnobirthing experience will be.

As a couple you participate in hypnotherapy sessions during classes and during these sessions, we provide the “anchoring” and “deepening” techniques to help you go into that deeply relaxed zone and to be able to get to that zone at any time you need particularly during labour.
You just can’t get that from a book!
The 5 Basic Hypnobirthing techniques that we teach you are:
The Hypnobirthing classes are not just about hypnosis and how to slide into that calm, relaxed space. It is a really comprehensive childbirth education program, which has been developed for pregnancy, birth and beyond but particularly relevant for the Australian model of care and childbirth practices.
During the classes we discuss some of the following:

The above points are just the tip of the iceberg of areas covered in classes. There are so many positive reasons for taking our Hypnobirthing classes, but one of the most valuable and important reasons is that your partner or birth companion are included in this training. They are your greatest advocates, your pillar of support and protection, the one that you can turn to when you are not quite sure, or you just need a bit of encouragement and a soft touch.
They are the ones who have such an integral role to play in helping you to bring your baby into a calm and peaceful environment. Long gone are the days where let’s say dad sat in the corner with the telly on watching sports or sitcoms and continuously checking the clock or trying to find something useful to do. The Birth Partner / Companion now has a very important part to play in this new adventure and it will prepare and empower them on the day, which will be so positive and reassuring for the birthing mum so she can stay connected within.
These classes are different to the antenatal classes that you may attend at your hospital. They are designed to teach you about the mind and body and what is happening during those contractions (surges), what your muscles are doing, why oxygen is really important during labour (just like a marathon runner), what natural methods of pain relief you can use (in addition to information about the medical pain relief available) and preparing you for a positive birth experience – no matter how your baby is born.
We talk about special circumstances and definitely don’t set you up for any unrealistic expectations – we prepare you to be prepared for anything, to feel confident about asking questions and giving your partner the confidence to support you during your labour and birth and protecting your sacred birth space.
My belief is that no matter how you birth, whether it is naturally in a hospital, your home, birthing centre or by caesarean, the Hypnobirthing Australia program can help you feel calm, relaxed and prepared for the arrival of your most precious gift….your baby.
By practising hypnobirthing it will provide a beautiful birthing space for your baby to enter the world, one where your bonding can then also be a wondrous experience for you, your birthing companion and your baby.
Happy Hypnobirthing bub, Chester
