Hypnobirthing

Hypnobirthing is simple, logical and naturally effective.  Research indicates that hypnobirthing reduces the need for pain relief, reduces anxiety and empowers you with tools to deal with any situation during your baby’s birth.

  • KGH HypnobirthingThe KGH course paperback book and all supplementary information from the course sessions
  • Looking at your birth partners role (and practice of relaxations together)
  • An in-depth discussion of place of birth options, waterbirth, pain relief options, and homebirth.
  • Active birth and biomechanics birth session (to help with optimal fetal positioning and possible ‘stalled’ labour); research indicates that this can reduce the need for instrumental birth or caesarean section.
