Hypnotherapy for Birth & Pregnancy

Many parents-to-be use hypnotherapy — sometimes called hypnobirthing — to feel calmer and more confident about pregnancy and birth. It is used alongside your midwife or doctor's care, never as a replacement. Browse practitioners below who support birth and pregnancy.

Frequently asked questions

What is hypnobirthing?

It is the use of relaxation and hypnosis techniques to help you stay calm and focused during pregnancy and labor. It works alongside your medical maternity care, not instead of it.

Does it help with pain in labor?

Some people find these techniques help them feel calmer and more in control, which can ease the experience of labor. It is a complement to your birth plan and medical care, not pain relief in a medical sense.

How many sessions will I need?

Birth preparation is often a short course of sessions in the weeks before your due date. Your practitioner will explain their program.

Can I do it online?

Yes. Many birth and pregnancy sessions are offered over video.
