Hypnobirthing Course: £60

Welcome to Complete Hypnobirthing, a live and interactive Group Hypnobirthing course led by Midwife Lesley Gilchrist.  This Complete Hypnobirthing Course, downloadable relaxations and handbook will take you through everything that you’ll both need for a calm and confident birth, all without the fluff.

It‘s important that you book onto each of the four classes and that you do them in the correct order to get the most out of this course.

“But what actually is Hypnobirthing and how does it work?” I hear you ask. Well, hypnobirthing has its roots in hypnotherapy and uses deep relaxation techniques to make suggestions to your sub conscious mind. 

• During pregnancy, practising these techniques through reading the scripts, practising together or simply listening to the relaxing recordings will reframe your thinking through repetitive suggestion of your sub-conscious mind.
• During labour, you will use these learned techniques to find a state of deep relaxation and the pain relief tools taught.

Taught over 5 hours this live, interactive, online group course not only teaches you how to master those techniques it also teaches you the physiology of labour and birth; what your body and baby are doing during labour, birth and the immediate time after birth so that you can be prepared. There's also plenty of time for discussion and to ask Lesley questions.

1 hour, 15 minute Class:  helping you to understand what Hypnobirthing is and how it can help you both. This session introduces you to hypnosis, hypnotherapy and hypnobirthing alongside the physiology of labour and the impact that hormones have on it. It helps you to understand how your brain and sub-conscious mind work and how certain factors in our environment can affect our labour and birth. 

1 hour 15 minute Class: Building on session 1 where we learned about hypnotherapy, the orchestra of hormones and how subtle changes in our environment can affect them, Session 2 focuses on mastering the Hypnobirthing techniques using the scripts and relaxations that you will practise with throughout your pregnancy. This session also delves into some myths around labour and birth and allows us time to explore your hopes and fears

1 hour 15 minute Class: Session 3 focuses around preparation and planning during the latter stages of pregnancy. We explore induction of labour, early labour, your baby's membranes (or waters) and what contractions or 'surges' really feel like. 

1 hour 15 minute Class: This  final session, session 4 explores labour and giving birth and how the Hypnobirthing tools you've practised will be used alongside practical tips and suggestions for labour and birth. We’ll cover all types of birth in this class to make sure that you’re fully prepared. We'll also look at your birth plan, focusing on certain choices you'll have such as  pain relief options (both natural and pharmaceutical), your placenta, vitamin K for baby, skin to skin contact, cord cutting amongst many other things. We end the session with a 'dry-run' of labour where we go through different scenarios for labour and  birth and how you can adapt to them using the techniques and information taught.

If you feel that you need some additional support , information or advice from Lesley you can book additional appointments

Taught over 8 hours, either at home or online, this one to one course not only teaches you how to master those techniques it also teaches you the physiology of labour and birth; what your body and baby are doing during labour, birth; the role of the birth partner; and those first few days after birth so that you can be prepared. There's also plenty of time for discussion and to ask Lesley questions.

The One to One Complete Hypnobirthing Course  covers all the information delivered within the group course, however we spend more time working through the role of the Birth Partner and understanding your hopes and fears. As this is a one to one course you can decide the timetable of the sessions and how you would like the course delivered. 

If you'd like to learn more about those first few weeks with a new baby or how to adapt as a couple to being new parents or even a masterclass in feeding baby, we can tailor a package to suit you.
