GentleBirth is a birth preparation program for women who choose to give birth confidently, free from fear and in control.

It's not new....it's not New Age.....and it's not magic - it's biology!

Far from New Age, new science is revealing to us the negative impact high levels of adrenaline has during pregnancy and birth. Fear causes a chemical response in your body that slows labour and makes it more painful. Learning self hypnois helps you create a deep state of relaxation - keeping adrenaline levels low and enhancing your body's natural pain relieving endorphin production. Hypnosis changes how you perceive the sensations of birth. Most of the mums I work with experience pressure or tightenings rather than debilitating pain.

These days you have probably become much more particular about what you eat and drink....you're more careful around any chemicals you might be exposed to - you may have even changed your car or plan on moving to a bigger house. You're taking better care of yourself as your body does the amazing work of growing your baby. All very important in preparing for the arrival of your baby but mental prepartion for birth and parenting is practically unheard of. Deliberately directing your thoughts to a more positive mindframe takes practice and is not high on the priority list for most mums to be but it can change your entire outlook on this magical time. Your thoughts (positive or negative) dictate what's going on in your body - fear leads to panic and more pain. Every thought you have creates a chemical reaction in your body.  GentleBirth helps you to change chronic thought patterns (worry and anxiety) to confidence and excitement in a very short time. Your expectations of the experience ahead is transformed !

Consider GentleBirth to be a fitness program for your mind - it's brain training. Just like a physical fitness program you would follow at a gym the more time you invest in the program the more benefits you experience.  Thankfully you experience the benefits of GentleBirth almost immediately and with a lot less effort !

As you follow the program week by week each CD builds upon the last resulting in the most comprehensive and effective birth preparation program available today.

In contrast to other birth hypnosis programs that focus on only one element of birth preparation and one CD, GentleBirth combines three critical elements which is part of a more robust program and is based on Irish maternity care rather than American birth practices.

The GentleBirth program is focused on:

1. Changing conscious thought patterns (worry and anxiety)

2. Changing your beliefs about birth (reprogramming the subconscious mind)

3. Negotiating the best birth for you !

Combining all three elements makes for the best birth experience.
