Birth Preparation
KG HYPNOBIRTHING
KG Hypnobirthing is a complete birth preparation programme...
It is simple, logical and profound. It is much, much more than a few techniques to use in labour – although it does include those.
By practising KGH techniques before your birth you will release fear and tension allowing your body to work effectively as it is meant to in labour. You will grow to trust your body and your baby.
KG Hypnobirthing makes a difference for you and your baby by increasing the likelihood of a calm, comfortable birth where you feel in control of the choices you make.
Group classes sometimes available - Cardiff & Newport areas - ask for details.
I specialise in private classes, tailored to your circumstances, at times to suit you either on Zoom, or in your own home (subject to risk assessment and Covid restrictions - South Wales and North Somerset areas).
Kate
I feel more prepared in terms of birth and am more aware of the support available to me and how my decisions can be facilitated. I am much more confident in being able to come forward and voice my opinion to others. Most of all, it has given me a deep sense of calm, the ability to go to a ‘safe place’ in times of need, and realise just how wonderful a woman’s body actually is!
FAMILY HEALTH & HAPPINESS
Roles for partners too
The caricature of a partner at a birth is someone who is nervous, feeling responsible for the situation, holding the woman or birthing person's hand and wishing to help, but not knowing what to do.
A hypnobirthing partner is knowledgeable and able to support birth confidently and calmly. The partner is a huge asset in the birthing room, and many clients say, ‘They were amazing!’
The couple have practised before the birth which brings them closer together, and both play an important role when baby enters the world.
THE KGH COURSE
Designed for the UK
We are the original UK Hypnobirthing course which is designed especially for families in the UK. The course is constantly evolving to keep up-to-date with the latest evidence and research, and is now taught internationally.
The teacher training programme is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives.
A KG Hypnobirthing Course not only equips you with the hypnobirthing information, but uniquely gives you the knowledge to understand your options and the implications of the choices you make. As well as teaching you the techniques you need for a successful hypnobirth, it gives you the information to navigate the system in which you find yourself to achieve the best outcome for you and your baby.
PLACE OF BIRTH
The right birth for you
Although practising KG Hypnobirthing will increase the likelihood that your hormones will flow and your body and baby will work in harmony the benefits also extend to those times when a little more help is needed.
By attending the classes, thinking about your birth and exploring your options you will be better prepared to cope with anything out of the ordinary. The KG Hypnobirthing techniques that you practise throughout the course will help you to feel relaxed, in control and confident with the choices you may need to make.
