What is HypnoBirthing® and what is it all about?
For generations women have been conditioned to believe birth is a terrifying and painful experience. We have been bombarded with horror story after horror story, the next being more frightening than the last.
Because of this, women have forgotten or just don't believe their bodies are capable of having a normal, natural birth. Add to that, the USA has a horrendous maternal death rate coupled with very little to no postpartum support, being educated and prepared for your birth may result in less birth trauma, less physical damage to mom's body and less distress for wee baby.
When we have a healing or trauma free birth, we tend to be stronger in our postpartum. The tools you will learn in your HypnoBirthing class, you will carry them with you through your birth and well into the many years of parenting ahead. And the cherry on top-the birthing partner will learn these techniques too and can draw on them as much as they need in the years to come.
I teach my students about the Fear-Tension-Pain syndrome and how being tense actually prohibits the birthing body from doing what it needs to do to effectively birth the baby in a quick and safe manner, and how through learning the techniques mentioned below, mom can go on to have a calm, peaceful and easier birth-day.
Whether you decide to birth in a Hospital, Birthing Center or in the comfort of your own home, HypnoBirthing® will give you the confidence to birth the way you want to birth.
What You Will Learn
*Relaxation/Self-Hypnosis techniques to eliminate the fear and tension that cause long labors and discomfort, replacing it with confidence, calm, and comfort.
*Visualization, breathing and deepening techniques to produce a shorter, more comfortable labor.
*How to achieve a calm, empowered birth.
*How the mother's body is designed to work in harmony with nature throughout labor.
*How to achieve deep relaxation during and between uterine surges/contractions.
*Positions for childbirth and how the partner can help best.
*Birthing Plans, how to create a well made birthing plan for you and your family that will be respected.
*The vital role of your birthing partner as your birth-day unfolds, we prepare the partner from start to finish on how best to tend to you and your newborn baby to create an empowered birthing experience for all.
*The 4th trimester, postpartum bonding, the importance of delayed cord clamping, extended skin on skin and the breast crawl, breastfeeding as well as setting the new family up for a healthy and successful postpartum journey.
*We talk in great detail how to cultivate an emotionally and physically healing postpartum for the whole family. The partner will get a beautiful education on what the mom can expect to experience and how to help and support her.
This and much, much more is covered in our 5 weeks together!

Words from a
HypnoBirthing Family
" I knew from the second we met Cliodhna that we were going to love these classes and we did. She is so enthusiastic and made me feel so confident in myself and in birth overall. Every class was packed with amazing information and was so well taught. I thought I was informed about birth having 2 children already, but I was in no way as informed as I thought. We finished the classes so excited and feeling well prepared for our upcoming birth and for what was to come. I’m so happy to say our birth really was awesome. It was everything I dreamed of and more. My husband was an amazing support all night and into the morning and was so proud of all we had done as a team to work together to birth our baby in such peace and joy".
