Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Hypnobirthing is beneficial for mums who have special circumstances. Many obstetricians and midwives are now requesting mums take a Hypnobirthing course or similar before VBAC.

We have special tracks and an alternative program designed for caesarean birth.

No. Hypnobirthing is about giving you a positive birth experience. You are given the information and the tools to uncover what options lead you to YOUR personal best birth outcomes.

The birth partner is an integral part of the Hypnobirthing experience.

He or she practices with the mother in helping prepare for deep relaxation.

During labour the partner guides the labouring mother through hypnosis prompts, relaxation techniques, deepening methods and visualisations, provides comfort measures and joins in welcoming the new baby.

Despite misconceptions and misinformation, you are definitely not unconscious during self-hypnosis. The Hypnobirthing mother is deeply relaxed but it also an activate participant in the labour process.

She is completely aware and may return to a conversant state or choose to become mobile whenever she desires.

Hypnobirthing mothers often find that they experience time distortion and are not distracted by other people or their environment while they focus on their birthing and baby.

Yes absolutely!

I have been providing this option to regional clients for years, and it’s something you might like to consider even if you live in Adelaide.

You can tune into your live class via Zoom from the comfort of your own home

OR

Purchase a pre-recorded webinar which includes 6 hours of online content plus a private 1.5 hour Zoom session with me.

You can begin Hypnobirthing any time, but we recommend starting between 20 and 30 weeks.

This will give you time to practice the self-hypnosis relaxation and other effective techniques for gentle birthing – while also ensuring the course is fresh in your mind.

If you are outside that range, please don’t worry. You can still attend the classes and achieve a beautiful calm birth.

Please ask me about options if you are further along in your pregnancy.

Google Review

After a traumatic birth with my first child (didn’t know any different then) I went and seen Kate to do hypnobirthing and she provided us with so much knowledge to allow myself and my husband to make informed decisions through pregnancy and up to my unexpected induction. I had the confidence to have open dialogue with my care providers and discuss all options that were right for myself and my baby.

I had an amazing delivery at the LMH where we were all on the same page. I highly recommend doing the hypnobirthing course with your partner. It is far more informative and detailed than the hospital antenatal classes. I still use techniques now in everyday life for my own well-being navigating the hecticness of motherhood.
