Hypnobirthing
(The Mongan Method) Class

Birth is not just a physical experience — it's an emotional and mental journey too.

Hypnobirthing is a comprehensive childbirth education programme that combines birth knowledge, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, visualisation and self-hypnosis tools to help you approach birth with greater confidence and calm.

​

As a certified Hypnobirthing educator trained in The Mongan Method, I guide parents through practical techniques that can help reduce fear and tension, understand how the body works during labour, and build trust in their ability to navigate birth.

​

This programme is not about achieving a specific type of birth. Whether you are planning for an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, caesarean birth, or are simply keeping your options open, the tools and knowledge gained through Hypnobirthing can help you feel more informed, prepared and supported.

 

Throughout the course, you and your birth partner will learn:

• How the mind and body work together during labour and birth

• Relaxation and breathing techniques for pregnancy and labour

• Ways to reduce fear and build confidence around birth

• Practical comfort measures and coping strategies

• The role of your birth partner and how they can provide meaningful support

• How to navigate birth choices and communicate your preferences

• What to expect during labour, birth and the immediate postpartum period

 

Many parents find that Hypnobirthing helps them feel calmer, more connected, and better prepared for the unexpected twists and turns that birth can sometimes bring.

 

Most importantly, it helps you approach birth feeling informed, empowered and supported — whatever your birth journey may look like.
