Hypnobirthing and mindfulness are about removing the fear of the unknown as well as being present in the moment so you can navigate any situation.
This is important for caesarean section births too because your body is expecting to give birth naturally and it’s beneficial to support the natural hormones your body needs when giving birth. The key hormone here being oxytocin, which is important in bonding, breastfeeding and recovery.
That’s why we’re proud to offer a specially dedicated abdominal birth course.

- A very gentle and highly effective massage technique which will stimulate the production of the body’s natural pain relieving hormones- still very important for planned abdominal births
- What happens in spontaneous labour – just in case!
