GentleBirth hypnobirthing is a five week self study hypnotic childbirth program for Moms and Dads planning a positive empowered birth experience.

From San Francisco to Sydney, Dublin to Dubai, Moms all over the world are united in a common desire – to welcome their baby into the world in the gentlest, safest way possible.  Painfree birth is of course possible but is not the goal of the GentleBirth preparation program  – empowered, confident, calm births are.  GentleBirth provides you with the road map to a fulfilling empowered, dignified birth experience in whatever direction your body and baby will take you – at home, in the hospital – with or without an epidural.

The GentleBirth hypnobirthing program is influenced by the work of several motivational teachers such as Louise Hay and the ground breaking fear resolution work of Byron Katie. It's the best kept 'secret' in childbirth preparation programs!  We’ve applied the principles of the best sports psychologists, and positive psychology teachers in the world to bring you the most unique childbirth preparation program available today.

GentleBirth teaches you easy self hypnosis techniques that allow you to deeply relax instantly and easily with or without a birth partner to assist you at home, in a birth center or hospital. Your partner has a significant role during the birth process supporting you with strategies employed by Midwives and Doulas around the globe.

Within days of beginning the program your confidence increases and you start to look forward to your baby's birth. You find that you can think about labor without any of the anxiety you had in the past. The more you use the program the more your confidence increases and you begin to enjoy a calm relaxed pregnancy with no fear ! The benefits don't stop there - being relaxed and confident during the birth of your baby can significantly reduce your need for epidurals, unnecessary interventions and often shortens labor. GentleBirth babies are known for their calm, relaxed demeanours making those early weeks of parenthood even more rewarding.

The GentleBirth program comes with a 170+ page comprehensive guide and 14 self hypnosis hypnobirthing sessions specifically created for childbirth and includes ongoing support during your pregnancy.

It's not new....it's not New Age.....and it's not magic - it's just biology!

Far from New Age, new science is revealing to us the negative impact high levels of stress hormones (adrenaline) have on Mom and baby during pregnancy and birth. Fear causes a chemical response in your body that slows labor and makes it more painful. Learning self hypnosis helps you create a deep state of relaxation - keeping stress hormones low and enhancing your body's natural pain relieving endorphin production. Hypnosis changes how you perceive the sensations of birth and is well documented as a leading therapy in pain management. Some Moms experience pressure or tightenings rather than debilitating pain, others experience intense period like sensations.

During your pregnancy you have probably become much more particular about what you eat and drink....you're more careful around any chemicals you might be exposed to - you may have even changed your car or plan on moving to a bigger house. You're taking better care of yourself as your body does the amazing work of growing your baby. These are very important in preparing for the arrival of your baby but mental preparation for birth and parenting is practically unheard of.   

Mentally and physically preparing yourself for what’s ahead with confidence and information can turn your baby’s birth into a life changing empowering, amazing experience or a fearful, paralyzing distressing one  - which one will you choose?

We can’t always predict how a Mom’s birth will go but you can prepare for it to give you and your partner the best chance of having a positive birth – with or without assistance.

GentleBirth provides you with the road map to a fulfilling empowered, dignified birth experience in whatever direction your body and baby will take you.  You and your partner will learn to recognise the sign posts that will take you closer to your dream of a GentleBirth for you and your baby or further away from it.

Deliberately directing your thoughts to a more positive mindframe takes practice and is not high on the priority list for most moms to be in our busy lives but with some focused attention you can change your entire outlook during this magical time. Your thoughts (positive or negative) dictate what's going on in your body - fear leads to panic, tension and pain. Every thought you have creates a chemical reaction in your body.  GentleBirth helps you to change chronic thought patterns (worry, anxiety and stress) to confidence and excitement in a very short time. Your expectations of the experience ahead is transformed!  It feels like a weight has been lifted as you look forward to your baby’s birth without any fear. The confidence that comes with GentleBirth means that you and your partner feel prepared to handle anything that comes your way on the day of your baby’s birth without anxiety.  As you learn to tune into your instincts and trust your amazing body you’ll find that your new skills will be an additional bonus as you settle into Mothering and breastfeeding your baby.

Consider GentleBirth hypnobirthing to be a fitness program for your mind - it's ‘brain training’. Just like any physical fitness program you would follow at a gym the more time you invest in the program the more benefits you experience.  Thankfully you experience the benefits of GentleBirth almost immediately and with a lot less effort!

As you follow the program week by week each CD builds upon the last resulting in the most comprehensive and effective birth preparation program available today.   You and your partner will also learn about different support strategies used by Midwives and birth assistants around the world.

In contrast to other birth hypnosis programs that focus on only one element of birth preparation, GentleBirth hypnobirthing combines three critical elements which is part of a robust comprehensive birth preparation program.  Having an empowered, dignified GentleBirth experience will depend on the many choices you have to make.

The GentleBirth hypnobirthing program involves:

1. Changing conscious thought patterns (worry and anxiety) Do you want more worry during your pregnancy or less?   The choice is yours.

2. Changing your beliefs about birth (reprogramming the subconscious mind with your GentleBirth CDs) Do you want to continue being afraid of birth and becoming a new Mom?  The choice is yours.

3. Negotiating and navigating the best birth for you!  Do you want to have more control over the experience by understanding your options and what is best practice in international maternity practices?  The choice is yours.

In our experience combining all three elements makes for the best birth experience possible. 

GentleBirth provides you and your partner with the road map to a fulfilling empowered birth experience in whatever direction your body and baby will take you. 

Wishing you well on your journey of joy, confidence and empowerment.

The choice is yours.
