Hypnobirthing in Cardiff, Calm, Confident Birth Preparation
Feel calm, informed, and in control throughout your pregnancy and birth
Hypnobirthing is a powerful antenatal programme that teaches breathing, deep relaxation, and practical mindset tools to support a positive birthing experience. I offer private and small group hypnobirthing courses in Cardiff, with flexible options to suit you.
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing teaches you how to stay calm, focused, and in control during pregnancy and labour. Using breathing techniques, guided relaxation, and clear antenatal education, it helps reduce fear and tension — which can significantly improve your birth experience.
You remain awake, aware, and fully in charge. The goal is to support your body’s natural ability to birth, while giving you the tools to respond confidently to any situation.
What Are the Benefits of Hypnobirthing?
- Supports a calmer, more positive birth experience
- Reduces fear, anxiety, and stress in pregnancy
- Helps manage discomfort through breathing and relaxation
- Encourages supportive partner involvement
- Increases confidence and understanding of how your body works
- Can improve sleep and emotional wellbeing before and after birth
- Supports recovery and bonding with baby
Even when medical assistance is needed, parents using hypnobirthing often feel more focused, informed, and in control.
Who Is This Course For?
Hypnobirthing is suitable for all birthing parents, whether you're having your first baby or you've given birth before. Ideally, you’ll attend with a birth partner (your partner, a friend or relative), but you're also welcome to attend alone.
What’s Included in the Course?
- A full antenatal hypnobirthing course delivered across 4 sessions (approx. 2 hours each)
- Clear, evidence-based education about birth, pain, hormones, and the role of the mind
- Guided breathing and relaxation techniques you can use during and after labour
- A copy of the Katherine Graves Hypnobirthing book
- Ongoing support via phone or email
I trained with Katherine Graves Hypnobirthing, a course accredited by the Royal College of Midwives. As a former midwife myself, I understand the power of knowledge and calm during pregnancy and I love sharing these life-changing tools with others.
