“All your cd’s helped me so much. I was someone who was really scared, but felt so relaxed & in control during my pregnancy & the birth” – Fiona Whittaker

“I had a wonderful birth experience which I believe is solely down to the fact that the birth preparation CD removed all my fear & anxiety. I was in labour for just over 6 hours (this was my 1st baby) and delivered without pain relief. The midwife continually commented on, and invited others to come to observe my calm and relaxed demeanour. Thank you for giving me the means to birth my baby in such a positive & memorable way” - Carol
Gregson

Natal Hypnotherapy™ Fact sheet

What is Natal Hypnotherapy™?
Natal Hypnotherapy™ prepares women emotionally, physically and mentally for conception, pregnancy and birth.  Women learn a combination of self hypnosis techniques, deep relaxation and guided visualization to help them overcome fears, create a state of calm and relaxation, be more confident and so have a calmer, more relaxed pregnancy and birth. The method was developed by UK Clinical Hypnotherapist Maggie Howell in 2000 and has helped tens of thousands of women in the UK.

Is Natal Hypnotherapy™ recognised by the medical profession?
Yes, over 2300 midwives and birth professionals across the UK are now recommending Natal hypnotherapy techniques. In addition hypnotherapy is an accepted therapeutic practice, having been recognised by the British Medical Association since 1955.

What do women have to do to learn the techniques?
Women learn Natal Hypnotherapy™ techniques simply by listening to a series of relaxing CDs in the privacy of their own home. A soothing voice guides them into a calm state, teaching breathing and relaxation, followed by positive suggestions designed to increase the listeners trust and confidence. The comprehensive range of CDs are available from preparing to
conceive through to support with breastfeeding.

The workshops are run by fully qualified and insured Natal Hypnotherapy™ practitioners. All workshops are monitored and regulated to ensure a consistently high standard of tuition.
