Hypnobirthing with Joanna

What is Hypnobirthing?

The Complete HB and Postnatal IG (1).png

Hypnobirthing is a complete antenatal training programme which incorporates hypnotherapy helping you to relax, understand, and take control of your own birth experience. Hypnobirthing allows you to work with your body - which is naturally designed to give birth! The relaxation and focus on the power of language will allow you to expel fear and negativity, and empowers both you and your partner to make informed decisions with confidence that are best for your family.

Joanna teaches The Little Birth Company's Hypnobirthing Programme which is a complete Birth Preparation Programme taking on a modern approach to antenatal classes. We cover everything you need to know to plan for a calm, confident & positive birth. I firmly believe any birth can be a positive one with right support, knowledge and environment.

Attend a FREE Hypnobirthing Taster session to find out more about hypnobirthing, what you will learn on the course, how you can achieve a positive birth and an opportunity to ask any questions.

FAQs

Q. What is included in the price?

A. The Complete Hypnobirthing Course includes The Little Birth Company (LBC) Hypnobirthing Parent Manual and 7 relaxation MP3s to guide your home practise. The Hypnobirthing Workshop includes the LBC Hypnobirthing Parent Manual and 3 relaxation MP3s.

Q. Does my partner have to attend the class?

A. They don't, but they will be very glad if they did! Most partners arrive at the course rather sceptical and leave very enthusiastic. After listening to the research and science behind it they will very quickly understand how important it is and the difference a supportive partner or birth companion can make. A Hypnobirthing partner is knowledgeable and able to fully support you as you give birth. They are huge asset at birth!

Q. I completed a Hypnobirthing course in my last pregnancy, do I have to book another full course?

A. If you have already completed a Hypnobirthing Course, then a refresher course would be suitable. Use the "Contact Me" link, and we can see if a tailored course would be able to suit your needs.

Q. I have a friend that is also pregnant, can we do a joint course?

A. Use the "Contact me" link, and I may be able to offer a joint course at a discounted price.

Q. When should I start my Hypnobirthing Classes?

A. Ideally, starting between 25 and 30 weeks to give yourself time to get practising the tools and techniques you will learn. However, I have taught expectant parents much later on in their pregnancy who found the classes extremely helpful. Hypnobirthing is beneficial at any stage of pregnancy. What you waiting for? Get in touch now!

Q. Will Hypnobirthing work for me if I am on my own?

A. Yes, definitely. Many have completed the course on their own if they have a partner who is working away or are planning to birth alone - you've got this!

Q. Will Hypnobirthing work if I'm being induced?

A. Yes, definitely. I do however teach a Positive Induction Workshop which delves deeper in the process of induction and how to make your labour and birth experience a positive and informed one! Get in touch here for more information.

Q. Will Hypnobirthing work if I'm having a caesarean birth?

A. Yes, definitely. I do however teach a Positive Caesarean Birth workshop which delves deeper into caesarean birth and how to make your birth and postnatal experience a positive and informed one!
