As childbirth is a natural physiological process that a woman's body is equipped for, easibirthing® is about empowering women to manage their unique individual experience, not fear it.

My sessions train mothers-to-be to use advanced self-hypnosis, relaxation, visualisation and breathing methods to prepare mind and body for the process of birth. The easibirthing® method teaches them how to use hypnosis for pain management and helps to boost trust in their body so that they enter labour feeling calm, confident and in control. Sessions are focused around learning to reach a state of deep relaxation, gaining perception of control over the process and developing a positive attitude. It is about changing women's expectation of birth so that they help, rather than hinder, the natural process.

The easibirthing® techniques are also designed to be valuable life skills for use in the ante-natal and post-natal periods.

With my easibirthing® sessions, you will learn:

•  Visualisation techniques and exercises that prepare your body for childbirth

•  Self-hypnosis for states of relaxation and calm

•  To let go of any previously held fears or anxieties around childbirth

•  To create a sense of calmness, confidence and control that allows you to manage the birth of your baby in the way you would like to

As you practise these techniques, they will help contribute to:

•  A sense of confidence and trust in the process of childbirth

•  A happier experience of childbirth

"Women who feel confident in their own ability to stay calm and relaxed during labour, having practised self hypnosis in pregnancy report feeling more in control during their experience."
Caroline Brunt, Head of Maternity & Neonatal Services, Salisbury NHS Trust.

"Using these techniques enhances the experience for a more positive birth. Many people think hypnosis is about losing control when it is actually about regaining control."
Emma Freeman, Community Midwife
