What is hypnobirthing?
A lot of people are skeptical of the term hypnobirthing at first, they may have images of someone with a pendulum trying to turn you into a chicken! I can safely say none of that will be happening.
Hypnobirthing is a scientific approach to birth which enables mothers to experience a calm and positive birth. We look at how the body reacts to the mind and therefore how we can train our minds to relax for our bodies to follow, – without a chicken or pendulum in sight!.
