What Amazing Mamas Are Saying

“While Hypnobirthing is becoming more common, a lot of people still feel it’s some ‘airy fairy’ thing that is only for ‘earth mothers’. But I am here to throw that idea out the window!!! Think of it more like your antenatal classes on steroids, where both you and your birthing partner learn the science behind birthing and will feel informed and empowered to make decisions during birthing to help you get the birth you want…”
