Does Hypnobirthing really work?

This is one of my most asked questions! Usually with an air of scepticism when explaining what I “do” at a party.

The short answer is, YES! The longer answer is slightly more complex.

First of all, let’s take the word “work” off the table. “Does Hypnobirthing really work” suggests that there’s only one right way to have your baby. If there’s a scenario where things “worked”, then that means there can be a scenario where it “didn’t work”, and well, that’s just not true. The beauty of Hypnobirthing, at least the way I work with clients, is that it sets you up to feel great about your experience however things end up playing out.

Whatever happens along the way, Hypnobirthing will absolutely make a huge difference to how you feel about the experience. That’s when you know that it’s “worked”!

Secondly, Hypnobirthing isn’t a magic wand. It takes practice, it takes commitment, and it takes time. The more you focus you invest into it, the bigger difference it’ll make.

Lastly, take the pressure off! A Hypnobirth isn’t something you achieve or “get right”, it’s a skill and tool to use along the way.
