What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnosis was already used by the ancient Egyptians for healing and pain relief, the method is marked in the Ebers papyrus.
This relaxed state is similar to the easy moments before falling asleep or your head space while being on a long journey. You are relaxed without losing contact with the word around you; although you are listening, watching, sensing, in your mind you are not there.
Hypnobirthing is YOU. You when you are running your 10th mile and your legs are moving you without any thought or when you are swimming and listening only to your breath or when you are dancing and know that your movements are beautiful. Because it is all coming from inside. You know how to do it and just do it.
After calming down the mind, the mother's instinct knows how to give birth to your baby in the alignment of body and mind.
How the hypnorbirthing course is built up?
The techniques of hypnobirthing was adapted to the British health system by Kathrarine Graves (KG Hypnobirthing). This complete holistic birth preparation course is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives and has the following goals:
-
you and your birth partner get to know the biological and physiological process of pregnancy and birth
-
to release your fear, which discourages your body to give birth in an instinctive way
-
with learning of relaxation techniques your pregnancy can be joyful and your birth can be more peaceful
-
with different visualisation techniques you and your baby can have the best optimised birth
-
with different breathing techniques you support the birth of your baby in all the phases of birth
-
with massage techniques you enjoy this special time of your pregnancy
-
your birth partner becomes your best and active support during pregnancy, birth and beyond
The hypnobirthing course introduces you and your birth partner into a holistic system and different birthing tools. It helps you to prepare for a self confident and peaceful birth but without regular practice at home it is only pure information. So practice, practice, practice!
What is the hypnobirthing course for?
-
The couples of the hypnobirthing course get to know the process of birth, so they can become confident and active participiants of the birth
-
In this way giving birth might get easier and more natural
-
The babies are born more alert, which helps in early bonding and breastfeeding
-
The hypnobirthing parents often talk about shorter births
-
There are less birth interventions and medical pain relief, which supports a quicker recovery of the mother and more natural adaptation of the newborn baby
-
Less injuries in the pelvic area
-
Fewer mothers complain about depression after giving birth
-
The birth partner learns how to support the mother effectively in order to reach a natural and safe birth. It also helps deepen the relationship between mother and birth partner
-
The hypnobirthing techniques can also be used well in case of C-section or other medical interventions, so the baby can be born in the most optimal and relaxed way
It is scientifically proven how big an influence the pregnancy and the birth have on the whole life of a person. A well connected 9 months with your baby and a peaceful birth seems to be the best base for a new family.
What is the best time to do the hypnobirthing course?
There is no such thing as too early or too late if it is about participating in a hypnobirthing course. Ideally we suggest to take the course between the 20th-30th week of pregnancy, so you have plenty of time to practice it until the baby's arrival.

"My partner and I wanted a relaxed and gentle welcome to the world for our baby girl and MamaLuna was recommended to us by a friend. We had online lessons due to Coronavirus lockdown but the content and delivery was not reduced in any way.
The sessions were fantastic and well organised. We learned lots and were spaced out so that we got a chance to practice, reflect and ask questions.
Our sweet baby arrived via an uncomplicated, unmedicated waterbirth and it was the most perfect experience. We would recommend this course for every mum!"
