HYPNOBIRTHING COURSE
The hypnobubs™ 'Positive Birth Program' hypnobirthing course is a comprehensive but easy-to-follow childbirth education course that equips parents with the mindset, knowledge, tools, support and preparation to achieve a very calm and positive birth.
Our hypnobirthing course is built on a solid scientific foundation and draws on extensive evidence-based research from the fields of psychology (the study of the human brain and behaviour) and physiology (the study of the physical and chemical processes of our body - i.e. how we function).

GIVING YOU THE ADVANTAGE...
The hypnobubs™ 'Positive Birth Program' hypnobirthing course uses a combination of different techniques and philosophies that have existed for many, many years. Ancient wisdom is combined with modern theory – giving you the advantage in your acquisition of knowledge as you prepare for your birth.
A famous obstetrician from the early 1900s identified the place that fear plays in birth outcomes. Dr Grantly Dick Read wrote the famous book Childbirth Without Fear. Though, when he first presented his theories to the medical field he was laughed out of town, over time his theories became widely embraced by women throughout the world. Even the Queen provides a testimonial to him which is quoted on one of the early editions of his book.
One of the main theories underpinning the teachings in Grantly Dick Read's book is the Fear – Tension – Pain syndrome. In short, fear creates tension in the body resulting in ‘pain’ (as opposed to feeling the strong but normal sensations of childbirth). He advocates for removing the fear often associated with birth so that a woman's body can do what it is designed to do in a more comfortable way. This is a very big part of what we teach in our course.
Science can now help us to understand hormonal and physical changes that occur during pregnancy and birth. Medical science has evolved. We have changed!
The hypnobubs™ 'Positive Birth Program' incorporates the teachings of many famous and respected birthing experts throughout history – giving you a complete advantage in your preparation for childbirth.
