Hobart Hypnobirthing Co. Positive Birth Program

Dr Erin Kelly – BA (Hons) PhD (Clinical Psychology) & HPCE (Hypnobirthing Practitioner Chilbirth Educator)

https://www.facebook.com/thehobarthypnobirthingco/

The Hypnobirthing Australia’s Positive Birth program provides positive childbirth education uniquely designed for Australian mothers and their birth partners. When a birthing mother is prepared with knowledge about the birth process, tools to stay positive, calm and comfortable through labour, has good support, and a method of preparation for both mind and body, birth can be a very positive and empowering experience.

Hypnobirthing uses a combination of different philosophies and evidence-based techniques. You will learn breathing, relaxation, massage and self-hypnosis techniques, along with knowledge and tools to assist you to make well-
informed decisions along the way. Your birth partner takes on a special role, and they will learn how they can best support you throughout labour and birth.

A positive birth is whatever you define it as, and however your baby is born, the use of self-hypnosis and deep relaxation techniques can be of great advantage to both yourself and your baby. With Erin’s open and approachable teaching style, you will learn hypnobirthing skills to prepare you to calmly meet whatever turns your birthing journey might take. 

Details:

Two day (weekend) course, including resource pack.
