The NHS and Hypnobirthing: Your Journey to an Empowered Birth
As a hypnobirthing practitioner in London, I'm often asked about what the NHS thinks about hypnobirthing. Today, let's explore how this powerful birth preparation technique has become an integral part of NHS maternity services.
Why Hypnobirthing is Making Waves in the NHS
Gone are the days when hypnobirthing was considered alternative or fringe. The NHS now recognises it as a valuable tool in their birthing toolkit, and here's why: this evidence-based approach combines deep breathing, visualisation, and relaxation techniques to help you achieve a calmer, more confident birth experience.
What Does Hypnobirthing Actually Include?
Powerful breathing techniques that work with your body during surges
Deep relaxation practices to release tension and fear
Visualisation exercises to keep you focused and calm
Mindfulness tools to stay present and connected
The Beautiful Reality
Here in London, many NHS trusts have embraced hypnobirthing as part of their antenatal offering. Why? Because they've seen firsthand how it helps birthing people feel more in control, more confident, and better prepared for their birth journey.
