Birth. Unlocking goddesses since humans began.

What if we told women the truth about birth?

We’d have to tell them that contractions will probably be more than “surges” or “sensations.”

That they’ll probably rock your world and leave you begging for salvation as you clutch the edge of the tub or the hospital linens.

That your gentle breathing exercises and your Spotify soundtrack will be left in the dust as you sweat and pant and sway and swear your way through it

That you’ll trip harder than any mushroom you ever did in college and vomit with the same ferocity and travel to places deep within yourself that you didn’t know existed.

That you’ll float above your body and simultaneously be trapped in it with an intensity you’ve never tasted.

And in that intensity,
in the sweating and the swearing
and the swaying and the vomiting
and the endless hours of contractions crashing down upon you ...

You’ll find your strength.
You’ll find a resilience you’ve never known.
You’ll find the power you need for the journey of Motherhood ahead.

In the messy humanity of it all,
you’ll find that you are holy.
A portal to the divine.
Capable of indescribable miracles.
A vessel of sacred life.

What if we told women the truth about birth?
We’d have to tell them they are capable of anything.

Worthy of being treated like goddesses.
Made to walk through the flames,
surf the tidal waves,
dive into the underworld
And come out alive.

Not unscathed.
Not unchanged.
But whole
and healed
and ready to take on the world.

If we told women the truth about birth,
we’d have to admit that we’ve lied about everything else,
and that they are more powerful,
more fierce,
more capable,
more beautiful,
than we’ve ever let on.

If we told the truth about birth?
We’d shatter the world.

Hypnobirthing isn't a certain type of birth. It's not necessarily calm, quiet or peaceful. It is a birth where the birthing person has made truly informed choices, and those choices have been heard!

Practicing yoga (safely) during pregnancy can be really beneficial.

- It can help your body to feel good, and more comfortable, while pregnant.

- It can help your baby get into a great position for birth, and your body be strong and ready for it too.

- It can help you practice some of the positions you might enjoy during labour and birth.

- It can help you relax which is important during and at the end of pregnancy. You can take a bit of time out to focus on you and baby.

- And one that's often overlooked (but is super helpful) is that it can teach you to connect your breath to your body's movements, and get you into the habit of using your breath in ways that will help you during labour.

If you're not familiar with yoga, it is advised to wait until you are in your second trimester to begin (specific pregnancy yoga classes are great for beginners).

Avoid positions which compress the belly (twists, forward bends). Pregnancy yoga classes will only use pregnancy-safe positions.

Be careful not to over-stretch (if you are familiar with yoga you might want to be mindful of this). During pregnancy, the hormone called 'relaxin' (great name) makes your joints extra loose and stretchy (what we want right?), which means it's easy to over-do it, so take it gentle and enjoy the time to relax!

Why do an in-person Hypnobirthing course?

- The course can be tailored to you, which means you can ask your specific questions and get them answered in a way that makes sense to you.

- The course is interactive which means you will really take in the information on a deeper level, and it makes it really fun and interesting to learn too!

- We practice the techniques together which means we can really make sure you've got them down to a T!

- An in-person course is a really lovely relaxing experience for you and your birth partner, to take time out of your busy life during your pregnancy.

Message me if you're ready to book your Hypnobirthing course!
