How does GentleBirth differ from other hypnotic childbirth courses?
Some programs are focused completely on hypnosis as their only tool. We recognise that self hypnosis is a skill you learn and some will find it easier than others. At our workshops you don’t just learn about hypnotic tools but a full range of practical hands on tools for you and your partner to explore to help you have the best birth possible – including labouring in water, acupressure techniques, use of essential oils and specific positions and techniques to avoid perineal injury. Group workshops run at least 12 hours to cover all of this additional information. As a breastfeeding educator, breastfeeding information is also part of the ongoing support provided as part of your GentleBirth program. Our classes are based on the best available current research. Our training and experience is not limited to just hypotherapy but also includes training with the most reknowned experts in childbirth education including Dr. Michel Odent, Penny Simkin, Marie Mongan, Sheila Kitzinger Ethel Byrnes
