Hypnobirthing breathing

A core skill to learn in hypnobirthing is how to effectively breathe, either through a surge (contraction, rush) or in those quiet spaces in between, when relaxation is key.

When you breathe calmly and confidently throughout labour then the hormone responsible for birth — oxytocin — continues to flow. This free video shows you the Up and Down Breathing technique.

“I recently achieved my V-BAC thanks to your online hypnobirthing course. Your breathing technique helped me all the way, I didn’t even consider pain relief. Everything you said resonated with me and I was able to test my strength and endurance. Thank you so much!”

  • Hypnobirthing is an antenatal (prenatal) education that teaches you all about labour and birth.

    It gives you skills and drills such as breathing techniques and self-hypnosis that help you to remain focussed and calm. It also teaches your birth partner how to really support you throughout the entire birth process.

    During the course you learn all about birth physiology from who prompts your labour (your baby!), to what is happening physically from early labour right through to the birth of your placenta.You will learn about how the mind affects the body and how the birthing body responds to hormonal prompts from the mind.

    You are also taught all about the birth landscape. So, who is who in your support team, where you can give birth and what your rights are in birth. Hypnobirthing also covers the tricky subjects of induction of labour and post term birth as well as what happens if your birth path needs to change.

    Hypnobirthing covers everything from home birth to caesarean birth. From positive birth to postnatal depression and the baby blues.

    It is a complete antenatal education.

    Women deserve to have good birth stories, not ones that contain pain, fear and confusion. The mother and father can remain in complete control working together with their midwife to bring about the safe and happy arrival of their baby.

    Hypnobirthing is not a set of tools to be unpacked on the day but a learning experience which starts once you receive your hypnosis recordings, continues throughout your course and then on toward the birth with practice, so that once labour begins the calm and happy attitude begins automatically also.

    Hypnobirthing can be used for pre-booked c-sections or last minute emergency sections. The premise is the same, to be focused, calm and in control.

    Read more about what hypnobirthing is here.

  • Our online hypnobirthing course is best followed during the second or third trimester of your pregnancy, so anytime from week 13 onwards. However, you are welcome to sign up earlier if you'd like - access to our course does not expire, so you can take as long as you want.

  • Understanding Birth It’s Many Influences

    We work through what hypnosis actually is and how we use it in hypnobirthing. What it means to be a mammal giving birth and how to work with this.

    We get a full understanding of our Nervous System and how this comes into play in labour and the ability to step off the fear, tension, pain ride.

    Learning The Skills

    Learn how the mind affects the body and how external influences affect the mind.

    You then are given a full buffet of skills: The Basic Breath, Self-Hypnosis into the wonderful Pink Balloon imagery, visualisations for labour, affirmations and how to create some personal to you.

    Skills such as Counting Down for Calm, massage including Calming Touch, Shaking The Apples Counter Pressure for discomfort in the back and how to become the very best birth partner, which includes a special hypnosis script that the birth partner can read to the mum to be.

    Giving Birth and The Birth Environment

    We work through giving birth from good positions for the birthing mother to Optimal Foetal Positioning for baby. We discuss the perineum, the pelvic floor, birth place options and how to recognise the onset of labour.

    Comfort measures you may like to consider and also understand the Golden Hour after birth and optimal cord clamping as well as what happens when you birth your placenta.

    We also examine ways to avoid unnecessary distractions.

    When Things Aren’t So Straight-Forward

    Here we get under the hood of due dates and post-term birth. We work through methods of induction of labour, medical assistance to birth from ventouse through to C-Section and the importance of using your newly learnt hypnobirthing skills and why it is a good idea to have birth plans from A-Z.

    We also run through the skills to make great decisions either in advance or during labour.

    Post Birth

    For this chapter we discuss how we ‘feel’ post birth, from the Baby Blues through to Post Natal Depression and who to go to for help should you need it on a range of subjects.

  • You will never forget the births of your children so they deserve to be the very best experiences for you. Joyful and positive, the incredible start of your life as a parent.

    Birth should be natural, normal, joyful and supported in society but so often it is not.

    Perhaps you were excited when you discovered you were pregnant, perhaps slightly nervous. Maybe after a while you found yourself to be anxious or fearful.

    Hypnobirthing offers you ways to reduce fear and anxiety. You learn skills and drills that you can use not only through your labour and birth but for the rest of your life.

    You see the evidence and with evidence you are able to make informed choices that work for both you and your birth partner.

    The perfect birth differs from person to person but learning hypnobirthing allows you to work toward the perfect birth for you.

    It is an excellent antenatal learning and you can use it to stack the odds in your favour of achieving your very own better birth story.

“Hypnobirthing for me was a conscious decision to press the override button on all the regular chat about birth experiences. I wanted to breathe positivity into the experience, believing that’s a better muscle relaxant than fear! Melanie’s classes didn’t disappoint and had a real present and lasting effect on my birth experience.”
