Marie Mongan established Hypnobirthing in the USA after she had experienced all four births of her children in the 50s and 60s without labour medication, using the theories of Dr Johnathan Dye of Buffalo New York and Dr Grantley Dick-Read of the UK, two pioneers in natural childbirth. Two of her birthings were entirely free of anaesthesia at a time when it was unheard of. Of course natural childbirth has been around since the birth of humankind and it was in Western societies that giving birth became more medicalised. Sharon Mustard, a colleague of mine then developed the Easibirthing method here in the UK with support and funding from the NHS in Salisbury.
Easibirthing seeks to enable you to have the most natural active birth you want, whether you plan a hospital or home birth. Optimum time is around 20 weeks and both partners attend, although you can come later to learn the techniques of self hypnosis, pain management and reduction, which help you stay calm and relaxed throughout the whole birthing process and put you in control and at the centre of the process. There are both group and individual couple sessions with full CD support.
I aim to do the work as carefully and thoroughly as possible, following the methodology set down in my rigorous training. Interestingly, Easibirthing is only offered to those already trained or in training as hypnotherapists, unlike some other courses in the UK. Thus, you can be sure you are receiving a professional service.
Get in Touch!You will need five sessions over five weeks. Each session lasts ninety minutes and both partners attend, although some women prefer to attend alone. Most sessions are individual one to one or one to two sessions, although some group sessions with up to six couples are arranged every so often. To allow for tailor made therapy and if you have some fears around childbirth, individual sessions are recommended.
The course of five sessions costs £350 for individual or couples and £250 to join in a group session.
A series of relaxation recordings is provided and optimum time to attend to attend is at the twenty week stage of pregnancy, although it is possible to fit you in at a later date.
