Helping Others Have a Positive
Birthing Experience

Are you a pregnant woman who is feeling worried or anxious about childbirth? If so, don’t hesitate to call Calm Mama Collective. I offer hypnobirthing courses in Surrey that enable you to adopt a positive and calm mindset towards the birthing process. My passion is to help you gain the understanding of how your body is designed to birth your baby and how to use relaxation and breathing techniques to support your body to birth your baby calmly and joyfully.  I aim to create a warm, friendly atmosphere in which Mamas can come together.

A positive birth experience does not have to be unmedicated. It just needs to be from an informed place of positivity and not fear and that is exactly what hypnobirthing enables its parents.

What Is Hypnobirthing?

 

 

 

Firstly, let us address the elephant (or hypnopotamus) in the room – hypnobirthing is not hypnosis! At no point during a  hypnobirthing class will you be walking around a room clucking like a chicken.

At its most basic, hypnobirthing is a logical and natural approach to childbirth grounded in scientific theory. It teaches how birth works from a physiological perspective and how we, as mothers and birthing partners, can ensure the needed hormones and muscles involved in birthing a baby are working to their full potential. This is may come to a shock to many people, but birth is not something to be scared of. Birth is a process women’s bodies are perfectly designed to do, it is hard work but women are strong and capable. With the right preparation any woman can have a calm, confident and positive birth.

Hypnobirthing teaches mothers and their birth partners how to work through their fears surrounding birth, learn how their body is perfectly designed to give birth and alongside relaxation and breathing techniques this helps the labouring mama remain calm and relaxed to experience an intensely powerful, positive and euphoric experience.

Hypnobirthing has its foundations in the understanding that when we are fearful, we are tense and muscles holding tension can not function in the way they are designed. If we spend our lives surrounded by the message that birth is something to fear then we will approach birth fearful and the birthing body is not given the opportunity to work to its full potential. Hypnobirthing helps parents to reduce and remove those fearsso they are able to support their body to function the way it is designed to do.

In short, hypnobirthing teaches you to be excited to give birth and turns the event into an empowering experience. Who doesn’t want that?!

But don’t just take my word for it. Here is what science has to say on the matter.

“A 2013 BJM (British Journal of Midwifery) study found that those using hypnobirthing had a shorter labour, lower Caesarean rates, and lower rates of pain medication. The majority of women reported feeling more confident, relaxed, less fearful, focused, and more in control. They also commented on the ease and comfort of labour and birth and the satisfaction of having their partners involved and supportive. (Phillips-Moore, 2013)
