This class is a great complementary to your hospital ante-natal classes. We are afforded the time to delve into the things that they don't tell you & give you the hand on tools that you need to know to have a calm birth.

The Birth Essentials class is filled with information that is best for you & your baby rather than operating according to specific hospital policies. This means you get a class that is all about natural birth from start to finish!

During this class you will learn:

• Everything you need to know to achieve a safer, easier and more comfortable birth
• Explode the myth that pain is necessary in labour - it’s not!
• Understand how your body is naturally designed to birth your baby with ease and comfort
• Explore the amazing cocktail of hormones & the vital roles they play
• Natural methods to bring your body into labour without artificial chemical induction
• Birth Companions - Learn how you can best support mum!
• Communicating with your care providers in the best possible way
• How to write your birth plan/preferences/wishes
• Hands on learning as we delve into birthing positions, massage techniques & more!
• Learn some simple relaxation techniques to keep you calm & in control

You will also receive a toolkit to support you beyond the class which includes some recorded relaxation techniques & essential handouts to refer to when you need them!

Every mum also receives a Baobag full of little goodies!

Cost - $195 per couple

Testimonial:

"Before attending the natural birthing class, I was extremely unsure about my body's ability to give birth to our baby. I panicked when I thought about what I had to do, and my husband while willing, did not know how he would be able to help me relax. The class eased my mind and I am confident now that when I go into labour I will be excited, not worried, about the whole process. My husband now feels he will be able to help me relax if I get stressed, and help me with different positions, massage, and techniques to ease any pain. I cannot recommend this class more highly, especially to women who have any fears or reservations about childbirth."

HypnoBirthing is a childbirth education program with a difference! Our philosophies are based on the understanding that all babies should come into this world in a calm, peaceful and loving environment.

Whilst HypnoBirthing may seem ‘alternative’ it is really a program designed to help you understand birth, your options and providing you with some simple tools to assist the natural birth process. You will be empowered, informed, excited and confident.

HypnoBirthing is based on physiological, psychological and medical evidence. From this evidence we have created a toolkit of skills which empower couples to understand and welcome the events of labour and birth.

We are family focused and understand the importance of assisting birth companions to be an active participant in the birthing process and a helpful one at that!

Often when using the skills from this life changing program women are able to birth without the need for medical intervention and pain medication. Their babies are calm, content & enter this world easily and gently.

When our mind and body are in harmony, when all fears and doubts around birth are eliminated and we trust in our well designed bodies to function as nature intended, birth will be a positive experience.

Advantages of HypnoBirthing:

- Shortens the first phase of labour
- Reduces and often eliminates fatigue during labour
- Leaves mother alert, fresh, awake and energised
- Greatly reduces and often eliminates the need for chemical painkillers and drugs
- Helps keep oxygen supplied to the baby during labour
- Reduces the need for an episiotomy
- Embraces the concept of pre-birth parenting
- Empowers parents with techniques to achieve a calm, gentle & easy birth for themselves and their baby

You will learn:

- Everything you need to know to achieve a safer, easier and more comfortable birth
- Explode the myth that pain is necessary in labour - it’s not!
- Techniques of deep relaxation to help you eliminate Fear, Tension and Pain
- Understand how your body is naturally designed to conceive, nurture and birth your baby with ease and comfort
- How you and your birthing companion can create a birthing environment that is calm, serene and joyful rather than tense and stressful
- Natural methods to bring your body into labour without artificial chemical induction
- Gentle birthing techniques that allow you to breathe your baby into the world
- Use your natural birthing instincts to birth your baby in a way that nature intended

This program will run over 2 consecutive Sunday's from 10am -4:30pm
$550 - Payment plans available

Includes over 12 hours of tuition, a copy of the HypnoBirthing text book & CD, the cornerstone hypnosis mp3 downloads, your birthing tool kit for you & your birth companion & ongoing support after the program (breech turning, natural induction, fear releases & additional support).
