I don't care how you give birth!
Whether you want to freebirth in the woods, choose a cesarean in hospital or anything in between, you want to feel in control and confident of your decisions. I know when I was pregnant with my first baby, I didn’t know what to expect when it came to labour and birth, I had only ever seen it on TV and that it’s always a scary emergency, right? Wrong! I know you don’t want to go into labour not knowing what’s going to happen or expecting the worst, so let’s change that.
Birth in the media is scary, screamy and pretty much awful! And I can guarantee since you’ve started telling people about your pregnancy you’ve heard at least one horror story…
What if I told you birth doesn’t have to be this way?
I’m not saying that your birth will be a painless walk in the park. I am saying that no matter what turn it may take you can be in control and empowered to make the best decisions for you and your baby. I am saying you can learn relaxation techniques to help you manage your pain. I am saying your birth partner can learn what to expect and know exactly what to do/say to support you in the best way possible.
How good does that sound?
My hypnobirthing course teaches you and your birth partner everything you need to know to feel confident and prepared. You’ll meet other local couples embarking on exactly the same journey, with the same fears, questions and expectations.
My course offers a holistic approach that combines science, relaxation, and self-advocacy to build understanding, awareness, and empowerment. It's not just about birth; it's about embracing the journey with confidence, reducing fear, and fostering a deep connection with your partner and baby. Join me as we redefine childbirth education, making it a transformative and joyous experience for you and your growing family.
"Amazing course. I feel so well informed about labour that it is very empowering. Thank you so much, Sarah." - Karuna, Sutton Coldfield.
It All Starts With Your Hormones
When you feel stressed, scared or anxious your body releases adrenaline as well as other stress hormones that actively the production of oxytocin. Did you know oxytocin is responsible for dilating your cervix and stimulating efficient contractions? This isn’t something we want to slow down! Hypnobirthing teaches you how to calm your mind and body and keep that oxytocin flowing.
Why Choose My Hypnobirthing Course?
I’m Sarah, founder of Yoga Body Birmingham, I know the influence knowledge can have over how we feel about a situation. It makes us feel empowered and in control, words that often aren’t associated with labour and birth. I trained after the birth of my second son because I had experienced first hand the importance of understanding what was happening in my body during labour and birth and the ability this gave me to birth my son without assistance, (as it all happened so quickly!), and, more importantly, without fear. I want you to know you have options, so many options! From homebirth to a gentle cesarean. So many options that we simply don’t know about and aren’t told about. We often don’t know what we don’t know, so how can we make the best decisions? My course outlines all options and gives you the resources to find out what is best for you and your baby.
"Very informative and personable guide through the birthing journey. Thorough support and advice through all different stages, distraction methods, induction, due dates, etc. Lot of knowledge gained, would highly recommend." - Harry, (Birth Partner) Sutton Coldfield
Join me for my hypnobirthing course - here's what's included:
Hypnobirthing classes are an antenatal class with a difference.
The main focus is what do you want your birth to look like and what can you do to help prepare for that.
It doesn't mean that you will definitely have a super relaxed, straightforward birth in the exact way you always dreamt. It does mean that whatever may come your way during your labour and birth you and your birth partner will have the understanding and tools to make the best decisions for you and your baby. This will result in you feeling calm and in control and no matter how your actual birth may differ from the 'plan' you will still have a positive and empowering journey and memory to look back on for the rest of your life.
There are so many reasons to do hypnobirthing, but here's a few:
In my opinion you can't do hypnobirthing too early in your pregnancy as the more time you have to do your own research and practise the skills you learn the better.
However, hypnobirthing is usually done after the 20 week point in pregnancy.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in.
Reasons to not do hypnobirthing
"£100 is a lot of money when I have so much to buy for the baby."
You’re right! How much did you spend on your wedding or a baby shower to make some wonderful memories? You will remember your labour and birth for the rest of your life, good or bad. £100 isn’t a lot of money to get you and your birth partner as well prepared as possible to make the memory the best it could possibly be.
"My birth partner isn’t onboard, he thinks hypnobirthing is for hippies."
Mine was exactly the same, until I showed him this. I hope this helps!
"Hypnobirthing is no good for me, I already know I’m having a cesarean."
This isn’t the case! Have you heard of a gentle cesarean? Do you know the importance of hormones to keep you and baby calm and relaxed and the benefits this has for you and baby? I answer these and so many other questions as well as giving you a whole range of tools and techniques to use to make your birth what you and your baby deserve.
