What is Hypnobirthing?

The ‘hypno’ part of hypnobirthing refers to the hypnotherapy that we use to let go of fears and how we condition ourselves to release endorphins during our birth- natures natural pain reliever. Hypnobirthing uses a combination of techniques and philosophies from throughout the world that have existed for many years.
