What Dads Say...
Empowered to make choices
Marie & Jim are proud parents to the beautiful William. Marie gave birth at home using a birth pool, Jim describes HypnoBirthing here..."A course that not only teacher you important releaxation techniques, but also teaches you about birth in general, giving you the confidence an empowerment to make your own choices."
Initially Sceptical
"I was initially very sceptical about doing a HypnoBirthing course when my wife suggested it, however it was really worthwhile. It gave me a better understanding of the natural process of labour and a new perxpective which gave me the confidence to provide valuable support to my wife during labour rather than standing by feeling helpless." Ian, with Colette and baby Ben
Fully Involved Dad
"The idea of taking an active part in my sons birth was scary at first but the HypnoBirthing sessions gave me the knowledge and confidence to enjoy the experience. The atmosphere at sessions was relaxing and informal, our HypnoBirthing pracitioner put us at ease and the course gave us lots of useful strategies for managing all the stages of birth.
The relaxation techniques we learned enabled us to be in control of the birthing process and to stay calm. Without the classes I would have felt more a spectator than helpful.
HypnoBirthing allowed me to be fully involved and supportive during my sons birth. For most of the time the midwife just observed whilst we got on with it." Patrick, with me and baby Evan
Delighted Dad
"Several of my friends have had babies recently, and many of them told me it was a traumatic and stressful experience.
They said they felt powerless to ease the pain their partner was going through, and didn't know what they were supposed to do.
Thanks to the techniques that Jenny taught us, I was able to help Catherine right the way through, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the birth - it was fantastic!"
