"Hi Anja! I wanted to reach out to you to tell you I birthed a beautiful baby girl last Friday! And I breathed my way through the whole thing. My doula said she was so impressed with my breathing through the surges. I thought of you and heard your voice counting in my head! So thank you. The labor was beautiful. Calm, relaxed, and exactly what I imagined it would be, with my husband and my doula. I feel proud and empowered. And I want to thank you for your course and your constant notes and reminders on Instagram."
"Anja is one of those special, super lovely, open and understanding people - exactly what you want when doing a course like this to explore and navigate pregnancy and birth. The course covered all the main points and practices of hypnobirthing - a very accessible mixture of visualisation, relaxation, breathing techniques, physiology, birthing options and positions. We learnt so much and it put me and my husband solidly on the same page to prepare for the birth."

What is Hypnosis? Hypnosis is a safe, natural state of selective, focused attention, and typically people in hypnosis feel fully present, though very relaxed. By intentionally creating the state of hypnosis, you can achieve a deeper level of relaxation than might normally be available to you, all the while remaining calm and aware of everything around you.
Will I be asleep? Will I be unconscious? While using hypnosis you will be fully awake, you will be aware of everything around you and be fully capable of having conversations with others, and you can choose to move out of self-hypnosis at any time.
Is my partner involved? Hopefully, your partner will watch the entire video series, and attend the live online sessions with you. Although the program contains an entire section dedicated to partner support, information from the whole program will be of value for your experience as a couple.
Can I bring more than one labor support person to the live online sessions? If you have more than one life partner or are part of a parent group, your group is welcome to attend. If you have a doula who would like to attend, please go ahead and put them in touch with me, as there may be more direct ways for them to become familiar with hypnobirthing in helpful ways.
I first encountered women using Hypnobirthing techniques during their births around 15 years ago whilst working on busy alongside Birth Centre in an inner London Trust. Hypnobirthing was almost unheard of in the UK at that time but a small bubble of popularity had grown in that part of the world, possibly related to the relatively high home birth rate and a well-established case loading model of care in the area.
At that time, I had absolutely no idea about what hypnosis was or how it worked but what was undeniable was that the women I was privileged to witness using the techniques certainly benefitted from them. Every hypnobirth, just like every birth, is unique but repeatedly, I would observe how women were enabled to be calm, confident and in control with relatively simple techniques such as breathing or listening to hypnobirthing tracks.
The difference in these births was so compelling at the time that it led me to become immersed in the principles and practice of hypnobirthing and hypnotherapy. Since that time, I have taught Hypnobirthing to hundreds of women and their birth supporters, trained as a hypnotherapist, written a book (Flood, 2012) and trained hundreds of midwives to teach their own hypnobirthing classes.
We all agree that midwives are in a unique position to be able to enable women to have the best birth they can have and crucially to enable women to stay in control of their bodies, their babies and their births. Hypnobirthing is all about this and helps women to be the captains of their births in all its glorious aspects.
Most research around Hypnobirthing looks at its effect in terms of reducing the need for pain relief (Madden et al., 2016, Downe et al., 2016). In other words, it presumes that Hypnobirthing is a form of pain relief but I believe this has somewhat missed the point. Hypnobirthing is all about control. It is about women being able to stay in control, which is linked to feeling safe, which we all know is fundamental not only to the hormonal and biological path of birth but is a basic human right. The loss of control that so often comes with being processed through a maternity unit is not only traumatising to both mother and baby, it inhibits the birthing body on a physiological level. The ideas of Hypnobirthing are very simple, and they are the very essence of midwifery practice. It teaches women to feel confident in their birthing bodies by understanding them and knowing that birth is a natural bodily process that will happen automatically and all they have to do is relax and let go.

Hypnobirthing is a method that focuses on preparing parents for a positive and empowering birthing experience. It combines self-hypnosis, relaxation, and breathing techniques to help mothers stay calm, focused, and in control during childbirth. The beauty of hypnobirthing is that it sees childbirth as a positive event.. Through our course, you'll gain a deep understanding of how the mind and body work together during birth, allowing you to harness your body's innate birthing abilities but we also show you how to navigate medical interventions if you're faced with them (many women do have to consider their options).
