Hypnobirthing
This hypnobirthing program is a specialised antenatal childbirth education course especially designed for Kiwi (NZ) parents-to-be. You’ll learn deep relaxation, visualisations, affirmations, mindfulness and special breathing techniques to achieve a confident, calm, positive birthing experience for both you and your baby.
The Positive Births Hypnobirthing program is a practical course that focuses on preparing parents for a more positive birth regardless of the set of circumstances they face on their journey.
Therefore, whether it be a totally natural birth or a birth with intervention, the skills will be useful and relevant.
How we give birth does matter. Not just for the day itself, but for the journey ahead. Having a positive and empowering start to your journey can have a lifelong impact on both mother and baby.

You can begin the course at any time, but we recommend the earlier the better (after 15 weeks). Commencing the classes earlier in your pregnancy will give you time to practice the relaxation and to enjoy a more relaxed pregnancy.
However, it is never too late to start – you will still find the classes beneficial and valuable as long as you complete them prior to going into labour.

The reason we suggest couples to attend together is so your birth support person can understand the tools and techniques you are learning. Your birth support will play a vital role in your labour and birth and we also teach them techniques and how assist you during this time.

Most definitely. The tools and techniques you will learn in your hypnobirthing course will be of use to you and your baby regardless of your birth experience. If medical intervention is required you will find yourself better able to remain calm and in control. Mums who have needed caesareans for medical reasons report that they were totally relaxed before, during and after the procedure and often feel their recovery was very quick.
This course is for EVERY birth situation!

It’s up to you. The Positive Births hypnobirthing course will provide you information about normal, natural birth and give you tools and techniques to use in any/every type of birth. Other antenatal courses will cover different information such as interventions, complications and how to care for your baby. The knowledge gained through the hypnobirthing course along with other antenatal courses will help you to make informed decisions. Many couples also attend other antenatal courses to develop a network of other parents due at the same time. That’s not to say you wont get a network from your hypnobirthing course too!
