Hypnobirthing

– Elena Quinn, Founder of Mummy's Retreat

How hypnobirthing can help you to have an easier and more comfortable birth?

Hypnobirthing helps women break the fear-tension-pain cycle so that the birthing woman relaxes. When a woman is deeply relaxed her body softens and opens, time goes by more quickly and she blocks out other distractions. This can lead to an easier, more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
Hypnobirthing helps you work with your body rather than against it. Your hormones can work more effectively so that your body can labour the way it was designed to.
Hypnobirthing helps you develop a positive mindset so that you can understand what you can control and let go of what you can’t. This allows you to have the best, most comfortable experience with powerful tools however your birth goes.
