About Easibirthing ® / Hypnobirthing

Easibirthing

Childbirth is a natural, physiological process that has the potential to be one of the best experiences of a woman’s life. However childbirth is also feared by many and, along with pregnancy and the post-natal period, it can feel beset with many physical and emotional problems. Easibirthing® hypnosis for pregnancy and childbirth is an enjoyable evidence-based course specifically developed to empower Mums and Dads-to-be to embrace their unique individual experience, not to fear it.

Easibirthing® is a UK based model which was developed in conjunction with midwives, therefore complementing UK birthing practices.

Easibirthing ® will teach you advanced self-hypnosis, relaxation, visualisation and breathing methods to prepare your mind and body for birth. The Easibirthing® method enables pain management and aims to boost your trust in your body so that you enter labour feeling calm, confident and in control.

The sessions are focussed around learning to reach a state of deep relaxation, maintaining perception of control over the process and developing a positive attitude. It is about changing your expectation of birth so that you 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.

The courses are tailored to your specific needs, past experiences and your ideals.

How does Easibirthing ® work?

Hypnosis is about harnessing the mind-body connection. A relaxed and positive state of mind sends a message to the body to encourage the production of oxytocin and endomorphins - the body’s natural painkillers. This results in a labour which is natural, progressive and likely to be more comfortable. When women are calm during labour, they often talk of being able to enter a “flow” or their “zone” and can be totally absorbed in what they are doing with their awareness merged with their actions. Attention becomes so focussed that people are aware only of the narrow range of perception related to the immediate task, losing track of time and space. The sheer pleasure of the act of childbirth itself is what motivates them.

Is Easibirthing ® suitable for everyone?

Easibirthing ® is suitable for women who are at least 16 weeks pregnant. Birth partners are encouraged to attend too as this helps the father to bond with the newborn baby and also feel that he has played an important part in the birth of his child.

 

Whether you are planning a hospital or a home birth, or you are planning a natural birth or caesarean-section Easibirthing ® courses will be tailored to your needs. The course is suitable whether this is your first pregnancy or if you have given birth before.
