Hypnobirthing
Hypnobirthing
“I am passionate about sharing with parents a way to bring babies to life in a calmer and relaxed manner”
‘I had 5 private sessions with Eva from about month 5 of my pregnancy. At first I was worried that I was a little late in learning how to hynobirth but with Eva’s help I soon got the hang of it. I found that there’s a lot of fear based conversation between mums. It seems we have forgotten that birthing is entirely natural. Hypnobirthing reminds you of this. By practicing with Eva and putting the tools I had learned into practice on the day I can honestly say I look back with such warmth and calm. My active labour was a mere 2.5 hours. Having started my contractions around 4pm, our daughter was with us a little before 1am in the morning. Breathing properly whilst convulsing from adrenaline is certainly difficult but without the mindset that hypo-birthing helps you grow I strongly believe I wouldn’t have had the experience I did on the birth-day of our first child. Thank you Eva’

Questions and Answers
What is it HypnoBirthing and the Mongan method?
HypnoBirthing is a wonderful way to bring relaxation through your pregnancy and the birth of your child. It will help you mum to feel in control of your body, to you, your partner, to feel like you are part of that beautiful experience of giving birth and for the baby to welcome the world in a more relaxed and calm manner. The Mongan method comes from her founder Marie Mongan and teaches you that, in the absence of fear and tension, or special medical circumstances, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor. The Mongan Method is the only HypnoBirthing method that is standardise and taught to mums and partners all over the world.
When is the right time to start a Hypnobirthing course?
You can get the benefits of practising self-hypnosis tecniques any time during your pregnancy, normally parents starts after 20 week scan, but I have parents they joint on late states of the pregnancy, even near EDD too and is fine!
What if I give birth before the end of the course?
If you give birth before the end of the course, I offer you back the cost of the sessions you did not attend (cost of book & postage deducted).
What if my partner/husband cannot attend one or all classes?
Couples attend the course together most of the times. There are mums-to-be that attend on their own, and that is absolutely fine: I will give material for the birth companion and instructions on how to share it with him.
C-section
Hypnobirthing can be used for any birth and even for a c-section. The benefits are:
– It allows you to bond with your baby before they are born.
– You are able to prepare mentally for your birth, whatever that may be.
– The breathing techniques help you to remain calm, relaxed and slow the body down to facilitate the body’s acceptance of the anesthesia
– Relaxation can help your body to heal easier and quicker
– You can release any fears surrounding the birth.
– The baby will still benefit from the relaxation techniques.
