​What is HypnoBirthing?
HypnoBirthing® is a comprehensive childbirth preparation course that also includes the mind-body connection.  Tahira's classes provide a warm supportive environment, along with many extras to the course curriculum. 

You will learn about routine interventions and alternatives so you can make informed choices that are right for you and your baby.  This creates an empowering experience, allowing you to feel positive about your birthing journey.

You will come to understand how fear causes tension and pain, leading to prolonged labour.  And will be given relaxation tools and hypnosis techniques to reduce fears so that you can birth instinctively, calmly and confidently.  Despite the name there are no swinging pendulums!  That’s stage hypnosis and different to the self-hypnosis that you will be guided through to achieve deep relaxation. 

​All other female mammals birth in relative ease, as do women in many other cultures.  It’s Tahira's intention to help women reconnect with their innate birthing wisdom and intuition.
