"It is not only that we want to bring about an easy labour,
without risking injury to the mother or the child; we must
go further.  We must understand that childbirth is fundamentally
a spiritual, as well as a physical achievement…The birth of a child is the
ultimate perfection of human love"

- Grantly Dick 1953

Dr Grantly Dick was a British obstetrician.  He is known as the father of natural childbirth movement.  He believed in women giving birth naturally and spent his career educating parents of the benefits of natural child birth. He felt there was no need to routinely have intervention from obstetricians and other health care professionals.
Hypnobirthing teaches the labouring mother a series of relaxation techniques.  The relaxation techniques are used during the antenatal period as well as the birth.  Birth partners can play a vital role in helping with the relaxation process.  Here are some of the benefits of Hypnobirthing:

• Enables women to feel confident in their bodies to birth their baby
• Relieves fears and anxieties over giving birth
• Women experience a shorter first stage of labour
• Reduces the need for medical intervention and pain relief
• Eliminates fatigue during labour, leaving the mother stronger for the actual birth
• Potential of developing postnatal depression is reduced, promoting mother and baby bonding
• Birth is back to being a beautiful and natural event
• Hypnobirthing allows you to feel in control of your body and birth, giving you a magical experience

I will soon be running Hypnobirthing courses for couples.  Please feel free to contact me for further enquires.
