Hypnobirthing
A lot of people think Hypnobirthing is just breathing techniques. Hypnobirthing is much, much more than that. Hypnobirthing looks at what happens on a physical level during birth and how to learn to work with your body for a more comfortable birth. Everyone knows labour can be incredibly unpredictable but you will learn all about your options so you can make an informed decision at every stage.
As described by the Positive Birth Company, 'Hypnobirthing is an evidence-based approach to birth that seeks to empower women and birthing people with knowledge, practical tools and support, enabling them to have a positive birth experience, however they choose to bring their baby into the world'.

The Positive Birth Company
Founded by Siobhan Miller in 2016 and as seen on Dragon's Den, the PBC offers a great online course and book for parent's wanting to learn more about Hypnobirthing and for those looking to practice it. They also have an app called Freya - the world's first hypnobirthing-friendly surge (contraction) timer and virtual birth partner. I used this during my labour and it was a great tool to track my surges!
