LITTLE BEAR BIRTHING
Hypnobirthing

My name is Cathryn and I live in Oxfordshire. By day I am a Clinical Psychologist and also the lucky mum to three beautiful boys. I first learned about the power of relaxation and breathing techniques during my studies and quickly realised these methods should not be underestimated. My husband and I initially came across hypnobirthing informally and used the techniques during a large portion of the labour and birth of our first son. We found it invaluable in creating a calm and positive environment and we look back fondly on this time together. We firmly believe that hypnobirthing is what led to us having a relatively short and uncomplicated labour, despite needing to be induced. Hypnobirthing was also instrumental in our positive home births second and third time around - proving that positive births come in all shapes and sizes. Hypnobirthing was a massive part of our journey to parenthood and I am keen to share this knowledge with other mums-to-be and their birth partners.
