Episode 133 - What Hypnobirthing Really Is (and Isn’t)

In this episode, I’m setting the scene for the season by gently unpacking what hypnobirthing really is, and what it isn’t. So many parents come to hypnobirthing feeling pressure to do it “right,” to stay calm, or to have a certain kind of birth, and I want to take that pressure away.Hypnobirthing isn’t about control or perfection. It’s about understanding your body, feeling safe, and having choices. I talk about the nervous system, why safety matters in birth, and what a positive birth truly means; regardless of how your birth unfolds.If you’re pregnant and looking for more support, I share details of my hypnobirthing courses and doula support in the below.
