What you'll learn through HypnoBirthing® is how you can confidently approach a safe, easier and more comfortable natural birth.
We can't promise you a 'perfect' birth - no one can - but we can promise you a much, much more comfortable and relaxed birth than you would have had otherwise.

Four Trimesters HypnoBirthing® classes offer a complete birth education programme that teaches simple but specific self hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques for a more gentle comfortable birth. HypnoBirthing® is not about training mothers to give birth - they already know how to do that. Its about training your mind to relax so that your body can do what it is designed for. We haven't lost the ability to birth instinctively - but we have lost the ability to relax so completely that it can happen easily and quickly.

With HypnoBirthing® you'll discover that severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labour. You'll learn how to release the fears and anxieties you may currently have about giving birth, and how to overcome previous traumatic births.

HypnoBirthing® lets you discover and experience the joy and magic of birth - rather than the horrific ordeal that you see in the mass media. Most importantly, you'll learn how to put yourself back in control of your birth. HypnoBirthing® doesn't mean you'll be in a trance or a sleep. Rather, you'll be able to chat, and be and in good spirits - totally relaxed, but fully in control. You'll always be aware of what is happening to you, and around you. In short, HypnoBirthing® allows you to experience birth in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the birthing muscles of your body from functioning as Nature intended them to.

"It is important that to fully support the pregnant women in whatever form of pain control options they prefer, including hypnosis. There will be a group of pregnant mothers who are keen for a natural, unmedicated childbirth and the use of hypnosis is certainly a good option." - Dr. FM Lai, www.acompanyforwomen.com.sg

"Every contraction is the uterus doing its job and doing it well. By understanding this, the expectant mothers are able to relax better and even enjoy the labor process. A relaxed mind and body will be beneficial in ensuring labor progresses smoothly. A well prepared mother is an asset to herself if she hopes to have an unmedicated birthing experience." - Dr. Paul Tseng, TLC at Thomson Medical Centre
