Hypnobirthing

You may be wondering what hypnobirthing is, or you may be knee deep in the hypnobirthing world and wanting to further your knowledge, either way, you’re in the right place!

At Strong Birth Club, I proudly teach the Wise Hippo Birthing Programme, a down-to-earth, evidence-based course, giving you all the knowledge and confidence to feel strong, both mentally and physically to prepare yourself for your birth and in to parenthood.

In the words of Wise Hippo Founder, Tamara Cianfini:

“Everything we teach on The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme is based on physiological and medical fact and is how the mind is already working. In fact there isn’t anything new to learn we are just taking what the mind is doing and looking at it from a different perspective, making sure that you are utilising your mind in the best way possible to support a more comfortable and positive birth experience.”

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

We’ll explore everything from how your body actually works during labour, to how fear can impact birth (and how to reframe it), to breathing techniques, mindset tools, partner support, and your post-birth transition.

And of course, plenty of time to laugh, connect and feel held along the way.
