Hypnobirthing
What is hypnobirthing and how can it help you achieve the beautiful, empowered, positive birth you deserve.
Hypnobirthing is as much a philosophy of birthing as it is techniques. When a mother and her birth partner are able to approach their birth without fear and with knowledge, good support, and tools for the birth – then their birthing can be a positive and empowering experience.
The ‘hypno’ part of ‘hypnobirthing’ refers to the hypnotherapy that we use in the program to release fears and condition ourselves to release endorphins (the body’s natural pain relief!) at times during our birth.
With the help of hypnotherapy the birth of your baby can be a more calm and relaxed experience; one where you are in the driver’s seat - involved in the whole experience, confidently making the decisions that are right for you and your baby every step of the way, rather than feeling like a passenger along for the ride with things happening around and to you.
This is likely to reduce the need for interventions during your birthing.

In your Western Sydney Hypnobirthing Australia™ classes, you will gain an understanding of how the birthing muscles work in perfect harmony, as they were designed to when your body is relaxed and you have faith in your bodies ability to birth.
Your birth partner will learn ways to help and support you throughout pregnancy and birth. This is very helpful for you and empowering for your birth partner. Many hypnobirthing parents comment after birth that they and their birth partner ‘did it together.’
When you have your baby with hypnobirthing, you will not be in a trance or asleep. You will actually be in a heightened state of awareness – awake, but deeply relaxed. You may look like you are asleep at times; however, you will be aware of what is going on around you when you need to be. You will be calmly in tune with your body and your baby and this will assist the birth to progress. When it feels right, you will move around and may even speak and vocalise. You will help direct the course of your own birth.
Who is hypnobirthing for?
Hypnobirthing is for all births!
Whether you’re planning a natural birth, cesarean birth, hospital or home birth; whether it’s your first or fourth baby.
Hypnobirthing is not about one way of birthing.
It’s about positive birth.
It’s about being prepared to calmly meet whatever path your birthing takes.
It’s about informed decision making every step of the way so that you emerge from your birth empowered and elated at what you have achieved.
It’s about you.
Your birth, your way, no matter what.
