Calm Birthing with Hypnobirthing
CALM BIRTHING with HYPNOBIRTHING
Childbirth Preparation Classes
DISCOVER HOW TO ENJOY AN EASIER AND MORE COMFORTABLE BIRTH EXPERIENCE
For the Mother-to-Be and Her Birthing Companion
The Calm Birthing with Hypnobirthing course promotes the empowerment of the mother by teaching her natural childbirth methods and self hypnosis.
Hypnobirthing is a relaxing, rewarding, method of childbirth education that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentleness, calm and joy.
Hypnobirthing allows you to experience birth in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the birthing muscles of your body from functioning as nature intended them to.
Relaxed body – relaxed muscles. Baby moves down easily.
Whether you are a first time Mum or already have children, the tools and techniques of Hypnobirthing, including breathing, relaxation and visualization, will help you create the joyful, natural birth experience that you desire.
With the help of hypnotherapy and self hypnosis, the birth of your baby can be a more calm and relaxed experience; one where you are in the drivers seat, rather than feeling like a passenger. This is likely to reduce the need for interventions during your birthing. Sometimes however, interventions are necessary and the tools and techniques learned in class are also able to be used.
Hypnosis has been used successfully for many decades to assist mothers in childbirth.
Hypnobirthing doesn't mean you'll be in a trance or sleep. Rather, you'll be able to chat, and be in good spirits.Totally relaxed, but fully in control. You'll always be aware of what is happening to you and around you.
Hypnobirthing Childbirth Preparation is offered as a private one to one course. This private condensed course of 4¼ hrs of tuition is available by appointment and usually held over two sessions of approx two hrs each.
Please contact Caterina to arrange a time to suit for a private course.
Private and Refresher sessions are possible by special arrangement.
Hypnobirthing Childbirth Preparation Group Classes are offered occasionaly and presented in a small- medium group setting. This comprehensive course is usually taught from over a full day course 9.30am - 4-30pm.
Please note - there are no group courses scheduled at present.

Caterina has trained as a HypnoBirthing® childbirth educator and is a practicing professional hypnotherapist and adult educator with many years experience.
This Calm Birthing with Hypnobirthing programme, which she has developed is especially designed for New Zealand mothers.
The Hypnobirthing Advantage
-Eliminates the Fear-Tension-Pain syndrome before, during and after birth
-Eliminates or greatly reduces the need for chemical pain killer
-Shortens the first stage of labour by several hours
-Eliminates fatigue during labour leaving mother fresh, awake and with energy for actual birthing
-Promotes special bonding of mother, baby and birthing companion
-Fosters more rapid post natal recovery
-Creates a more integral role for the birthing companion
-Return birthing to the beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended it to be
Classes are relaxed and informal. It is strongly encouraged that the birthing companion attends all classes. The reason we ask couples (or an alternative birth companion) to attend together is so the birth companion can understand the tools and techniques you are learning.
Your birth companion will play a vital role in your labour and birth and we also teach him/her techniques of how to assist you during this time.
It is not compulsory for the birth companion to participate in all of the relaxation exercises if he/she does not desire it. However, it is recommended, as the skills you will learn can be applied to many different areas of your life.
The best time to begin your classes is between 20-34 weeks pregnant; however, it is never too early or late to start. If you are beyond 34 weeks, you will still find the course very valuable, as long as you complete it prior to going into labour. Caterina has even worked successfuly with a mother at 38 weeks, so if you have left it too late for a class, contact her and she can work with you privately to give you some tools to assist.
Caterina recommends you book early to avoid disappointment.
