What is Hypnobirthing?
The Bourne Hypnobirthing course is a complete antenatal birth preparation programme, created by Katharine Graves, nearly 20 years ago. This hypnobirthing course uses a variety of relaxation techniques and self-hypnosis to help pregnant women and expectant parents have a calm, comfortable and empowering birth.
Wherever your baby is born – at home, or at hospital – learning hypnobirthing will give you the confidence and knowledge to have a positive birth journey.
Hypnobirthing can be used for all births – vaginal or c-section, without drugs, or with an epidural, or with as many drugs as you wish. However your baby arrives into this world, completing a course in hypnobirthing will help you understand how your body works, how labour happens, and what your body is capable of.
Learning hypnobirthing – available in Bourne, Stamford, Spalding, Deeping, Peterborough, and online – will help you understand the stereotypes of pregnancy and birth that have lasted for generations – but which we can challenge now, so that you can have a positive birth experience.
Studying Hypnobirthing with me will give you the confidence to navigate a tricky NHS maternity system – helping you know how to advocate for yourself, how to talk through difficult conversations, and how to get the care you deserve – not just because it’s hospital policy.
Forget every type of birth and labour you have watched on TV, or every negative birth story you’ve heard from family and friends – your baby can arrive into the world in a calm, comfortable and confident atmosphere.
My course is available in person, in Stamford, Bourne, Peterborough, Spalding, Deeping, and the surrounding areas – or you can study with me online.
Is hypnobirthing right for me?
Quick answer – yes! Hypnobirthing is for everyone – whatever birth you want, or end up having, hypnobirthing can help you stay calm, confident and informed – whatever your journey brings.
