Hypnobirthing
The Positive Birth Program
Hypnobirthing classes aim to prepare you with all the knowledge, confidence and tools you need to have a calm and empowered birth experience. Birth should be a sacred and positive experience and the Positive Birth Program is designed to help you achieve this, no matter the circumstances or what turn your birthing journey takes.
What is Hypnobirthing
Hypnobirthing is a birthing technique that helps you prepare your mind and body leading up to birth. Through using the tools, techniques and support, your body will recognise it is feeling calm and safe, enabling it to be able to release all of the positive hormones that help you birth your baby with less discomfort and minimal fear. This will in turn set you up for a great start to a successful breastfeeding journey should you wish to do so.

When is the optimal time to start a hypnobirthing course?We recommend starting our hypnobirthing course between 20 and 32 weeks into your pregnancy. This allows enough time to practice the self-hypnosis, relaxation, and other effective techniques for a gentle and easy birthing process. Starting at this time also ensures the course is still fresh in your mind, which can be helpful during labor. However, it's never too late to attend our courses, and we welcome anyone at any point in their pregnancy journey. Our courses offer lifelong techniques and knowledge that can be used in future pregnancies as well.

At HaraBaby, we provide hypnobirthing classes that teach our expectant parents proven techniques in deep relaxation, visualization, and self-hypnosis. These techniques promote deep relaxation, reduce fear, and increase confidence surrounding childbirth.

You'll feel more in control, comfortable, and empowered during your birthing experience, thereby, increasing the likelihood of a positive and healthy outcome for both you and your baby.

How is the partner involved in HaraBaby's hypnobirthing classes?The partner plays an important role in hypnobirthing classes at HaraBaby. They are encouraged to attend and participate fully in the program alongside the mother-to-be. The partner will learn how to help the mother prepare for deep relaxation during birth by practicing hypnosis prompts, relaxation techniques, deepening methods, and visualizations. During labour, the partner will guide the mother through these techniques to keep her calm and relaxed. This involvement helps to strengthen the bond between the couple and provides emotional support during the birthing experience. At HaraBaby, we recognize that giving birth is a team effort and encourage partners to be part of the process.
