A revolution in the way we think and feel about birth
Calm Hypnobirthing Description
As a HypnoBirthing mum I know first hand how empowering this Birth preparation programme is in teaching parents-to-be the skills to have a normal comfortable birth.
I was pregnant with my son and felt scared about birth. I realised that I didn't really understand what happens during birth. I wanted to learn more so, I bought a book called 'HypnoBirthing' by Marie Mongan - after reading the first two chapters I was convinced that I could birth my baby comfortably with calm and confidence.
I protected myself from negative opinions and influences about birth, booked our HypnoBirthing course and we practiced the relaxation techniques so that when the time came we were ready and waiting. We were so positive and I felt empowered.
Several years later and I've taught 100s of parents to be about HypnoBirthing and I'd be glad to share my wisdom and experience with you.
Reviews
Many people ask how does #HypnoBirthing work?
This is part of the information I give to people attending classes that allows them to educate their family members
1) The uterus is a muscle, if it is relaxed it works smoothly.
... To experience this – clench your fist as tight as you can and whilst it remains tightly clenched try and move your fingers.
Does it feel uncomfortable?
Now relax your fingers and move them. Does it feel better?
That is the essence of Hypnobirthing! Relaxed muscles work smoothly. So parents are taught how to deeply relax and have a relaxation CD to listen to and practice each night.
2) A body hard at work (as it is during labour) needs a great deal of oxygen to keep it working smoothly and efficiently.
The breathing taught in Hypnobirthing classes ensure that Mum is getting as much oxygen as she needs whilst staying relaxed. Midwives love Hypnobirthing breathing.
3) During labour the body releases lots of really useful hormones, the most useful are Oxytocin and Endorphins.
Endorphins are nature’s pain relief and some respected scientists believe endorphins to be more powerful than morphine. Endorphins are released in a variety of ways and these are taught in the hypnobirthing classes.
Oxytocin helps Mum be very relaxed and also helps the contractions be smooth and efficient. Obviously these hormones are incredibly useful to labour and when unimpeded allow birth to be much easier than is commonly thought.
It is adrenalin (released when scared or tense) that override these good hormones and leave the Mum in a very much more difficult place to birth her baby.
Through relaxation and letting go of the fear of birth Mum can ensure that she doesn’t get a rush of adrenalin and can rely on the positive hormones, oxytocin and endorphins to ensure and easier and more comfortable birth.
Message me if you’d like to find out how you can stay calm and relaxed through your birth, no matter which kind of birth you have planned, at home, in a birth centre or on a Labour ward.
May the calm be with you

In essence HypnoBirthing teaches women that, in the absence of fear and tension, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labour.
We teach women and their partners that in the absence of fear or any other negative emotions, birth can be a calm, powerful and intensely positive experience.

Thank you Sophie for your calming influence which resulted in the amazing birth our son, if only we had met you for baby number 1!
Highly recommended xx
Sophie is an amazing calming influence with so much knowledge on working towards a calm and positive birth experience. She has also helped the closeness between me and my partner now he has a focus for the forthcoming birth of our daughter X
Sophie has given us the confidence, support and knowledge we need to hopefully have as natural birth as possible. She is a true inspiration and I would recommend her and her classes to all expectant parents!
So helpful, supportive, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Thank you Sophie, for all your help with our preparation for both our births.
Really super in every way. Highly recommended.
Had a wonderful birth experience yesterday, my 2nd hypnobirth, drug & pain free, at home, in water. Sophie thanks so much for all your help & wisdom giving me 2 wonderful birthing experiences having my 2 daughters.
Highly recommend Sophie & hypnobirth techniques xxx
Brilliant! Sophie completely changed my opinion on birth and made what could have been a really difficult birth, an enjoyable one. Can't recommend enough - sophie is worth her weight in gold!
