HypnoBirthing West London Courses
HypnoBirthing is a antenatal childbirth program available to expectant parents in the Ealing, Isleworth, Twickenham and West London area that informs, educates and empowers them to have the calm, gentle and confident birth that they desire.
Parents learn about the natural birth process and the origin of fear of childbirth and how this can have a negative effect on birth.
Relaxation, breathing and visualization techniques are taught to use during birth that enable mums to remain calm and in control throughout their pregnancy and birth.
The HypnoBirth programme was pioneered by Marie Mongan in the States over 20 years ago as a result of her own frustration at the medicalised births that were the norm in American hospitals. Using the teachings of Jonathan Dye and Grantly Dick Read, Marie believed in every womans natural ability to birth calmly and gently without medical intervention or potentially harmful drugs. This method of childbirth education has become commonly known worldwide as the 'Mongan Method'

The course teaches self hypnosis and deep relaxation to create the optimum conditions for natural childbirth and a comfortable and peaceful birthing experience. Breathing and massage techniques are also covered on the course as well as a thorough discussion on the origins of fear of childbirth and how it has come to shape the Western birth experience.
Parents complete the course feeling confident in their knowledge of the birth process and assured that the techniques that they have learnt will help them achieve the birthing experience they desire
