What are the benefits of HypnoBirthing?

There are numerous benefits that parents gain from hypnoBirthing that can be felt during pregnancy, birth, and while parenting. One of the most common reasons parents enrol in HypnoBirthing is because they are afraid of the pain that can accompany childbirth and they are looking for ways to cope, but they end up experiencing so many other benefits from the program. While we cannot promise a pain-free birth, parents who take our course do have lower intervention rates, fewer surgical births, and - you guessed it - lower rates of pain medication use. In face, those who take the class have reported shorter births, more comfore and happier babies.

Fear is the greatest contributor to birth trauma. You see, fear and pain can lead to parents accepting unnecessary interventions that lead to other interventions and possibly feelings of disappointment , failure, and trauma. HypnoBirthing helps parents approach thier birthing day with more confidence and less fear.

HypnoBirthing parents are educated in the physiology of instinctive birth to help them better advocate for their decisions and know what questions to ask in choosing a supportive provider. Partners also learn how to support the birthing person by tapping into their connection with one another.
