Learn easy natural childbirth at "The Hypnobirthing Centre"
For an easier, safer, and more comfortable child-birth
Hypnobirth Courses in delightful locations in and around London.
You and your baby are special. Childbirth should be a memorable moment in your life – and one youwant to remember. With the help of hypnotherapy for birth and our hypnobirth classes, the birth of your baby can be a more comfortable, calm, relaxed, natural and rewarding experience, and one where you are in control and you need less intervention from others.
You deserve special care as you make this exciting and unique journey with positive anticipation and confidence.
Our Hypnobirthing courses teach you – and your husband or birthing partner - the techniques to achieve this.
Katharine was originally trained in the 'Mongan Method' by Marie Mongan, the founder of this established and respected method. However because of her considerable experience of teaching mothers in the UK, she has refined her methods to be more supportive of their needs, and now works independently from the American Hypnobirthing Institute.
Katharine has been invited to lecture at Bournemouth University on HB at a training day for the student midwives in the south and southwest of England. They were fascinated at having the rationale explained to them about this new way of assisting a mother to have an empowering experience of birth and, as a result, many of them have asked to attend Katharine's classes so they can find out more about it and be more supportive to the women in their care.
At your class you will learn to combine relaxation and breathing techniques effectively, and to work with your body so that you always stay in control of your own childbirth process.
How to Breast Feed Your Baby Easily and Comfortably
As you would expect, the Hypnobirthing courses are relaxed and enjoyable and provide you with support and confidence up to and beyond the birth of your baby. Your husband or birthing partner plays a key role throughout your pregnancy and child birth. Throughout the hypnosis for birth course we will show them how to give you the support you need to make your labour and delivery a loving, shared experience.
Please don't take our word for it. Why not take a look at the childbirth experiences of some of our previous childbirth hypnotherapy clients to see the amazing impact that hypnosis for birth can have on your special day.
The Hypnobirthing Centre runs Hypnobirth Courses across London and the South of England. See below for some of our locations.
Childbirth hypnotherapy will also be of interest to those who have looked at waterbirths, homebirths, and use of a doula for childbirth. We are very supportive of all these childbirth methods.
You decide to do Hypnobirthing for a more comfortable and often pain free birth, because that's what it does. But the greater significance in the long term is the effect it has on your baby.
If the birth is calm, gentle and drug free for you, it's also calm, gentle and drug free for your baby, so this little person arrives in the world alert, and with a mother who is alert and ready to receive it lovingly and attentively, and that first relationship it forms is the blueprint for every other relationship it forms throughout its life. This will have an effect not only on your baby as it grows and develops, but also on every other relationship it forms, which will affect everyone it meets, and the significance of this can't be over-estimated.
Also, because Hypnobirthing babies have no trauma to recover from, they tend to be more calm, serene and content. From the reports I get, they also seem to thrive better, sleep better, and develop quicker. It sometimes seems miraculous, but actually that's how it's designed to be, and what we have come to consider as the norm is an aberration that we have developed over time.

"Your Hypnosis for Birth course was invaluable in allowing me to keep calm throughout. The experience of being there to see her birth was just magical for us both and we enjoyed a relaxing time afterwards drinking tea and eating toast, bonding with the baby."
I wanted to thank you in helping to transform an experience I was approaching with great trepidation into something beautiful and empowering.
You may remember that this is our second baby and I tore badly the first time. The medical advice was to have a c-section to avoid potentially long term consequences of tearing again.
The whole experience has been so positive and so amazing. And we cannot understate the effect your course had in guiding us to the right approach to deal with our concerns, rather than choosing an unnecessary c-section, or making the same mistakes again.
Thank you again - the course really made all of the difference in the end, much more than we had expected when we signed up.
I managed to get myself in such a relaxed state that I could nearly sleep in between surges. The breathing techniques were a life saver, and I used this the whole time.
Michael helped me throughout with the breathing and relaxation, so I highly recommend partners to be totally involved.
Thanks for all your help. I couldn’t have done it without HypnoBirthing.

If you are based in Surrey and South London, we hope you will find our classes in either Teddington or on the South Bank easy to get to. The Teddington venue is only yards from Kingston Bridge, and The South Bank course is extremely easy for all lines in to Waterloo Station.
My baby arrived 11 days early. We had been out to dinner and a movie, and I was just going to sleep. The contractions started at 11 p.m. and my waters broke immediately. I rang the hospital, and they said: “We expect to see you in 24 hours,” but right from the beginning my contractions were at 5 minute intervals and 1 minute duration, so I rang them again, and went in immediately. My baby was born after a 5hr 50 min labour, weighing 8lns5ozs. I had a very light epidural when he moved into the wrong position in order to turn him but, apart from that, the techniques you taught definitely worked and I needed no other drugs.
