HYPNOBIRTHING
COURSES
I discovered the wonder of hypnobirthing while pregnant with our first child. The holistic approach took me from the unknown to being excited to give birth. These courses empower parents in confidence and calm, ultimately creating the most nurturing environment possible for their baby to enter this world. I am beyond excited to share this experience with you!
COURSES
All courses are in English and all stages of pregnancy are welcome!

KGHypnobirthing and Embodied Motherhood - this course empowers parents to create the most nurturing environment possible for their baby to enter this world while building confidence and ease.
​
This course, made up of two core components: firstly, it enables parents by providing knowledge necessary to make informed decisions before, during and after birth. Secondly, it provides tools to deeply relax, enter the subconcious mind, and to replace any negative thoughts or worries about birth and parenthood with confidence and enthusiasm.

The course is entirely interactive in that we practice exercises together, learn together and have fun together. Of course your practice at home is important too!

This course covers the same elements of the Group Hypnobirthing Course, with the added bonus that you can choose how to divide your focus.
As we cover the physiological birth, decision making, deep relaxation & shifting the subconscious mind, perhaps there are areas in which you'd like to dive deeper! This course allows for just that.

What can I expect from the course?This course has two components and each session touches on both. Firstly, knowledge and empowerment. We walk through the physiology of birth and how parents can make informed decisions before, during and after birth. This aspect of the course is different than your traditional birth preparation course as it touches on different angles and perspectives which are often missed. Parents come out of this course feeling confident and in control, knowing they have a choice in how their baby enters this world. Secondly, it provides tools to deeply relax and to replace any negatives thoughts or worries about birth and becoming a parent with confidence and enthusiasm. Letting go of society's negative portrayals of birth, these exercises help parents tap into the subconscious mind in order to more effectively release concerns. Parents can come out of this course feeling excited for their birth experience and the arrival of their baby! The course is entirely interactive in that we practice exercises together, learn together and have fun together. Of course your practice at home is important too!

What are the benefits?Hypnobirthing has been shown to: build confidence and calm for pregnancy, birth and parenthood support a more comfortable and sometimes even pain-free birth reduce or eliminate drugs and medical interventions during birth, allowing your baby to enter the world as naturally as possible reduce length of labor enable partners to be confident and supportive during birth provide a healthy and serene environment for your baby's first moments of life allow for a more swift recovery postpartum
-
What does the course look like?The course is divided into five blocks covering practical topics (anatomy and physiology of birth, decisions you might need to make) as well as deep relaxation (hypnosis) exercises. A new addition includes a session on the often forgotten "Fourth Trimester" - preparing you and your baby for the months after birth. The course starts in the group, however, it is up to you to do the "homework" in order to maximize the benefits!
-
What is the group size for the course?The Group Hypnobirthing Courses are limited to 4-6 mothers (plus partners optionally). This being the perfect size to cultivate a warm group discussion, whilst at the same time small enough to hear each parent's voice.
-
Should my partner join?It is highly recommended that partners join the course as they are a part of the birthing and parenting experience too! It is also a wonderful time to bond with each other and your baby. This does not necessarily need to be the spouse. Alternative birthing partners are also welcome (mother, sister, friend). Mothers are also more than welcome to join on their own (with their baby)!
-

TESTIMONIALS
REEMDA
“It was my first child, and I like to be prepared. So, I prepared a lot. I listened to podcasts, took part in two birth preparation courses, plus the Hypnobirthing course by Chrissy. Out of all these courses, Chrissy's course was by far the best!"
NAGIHAN
"This course was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. The techniques learned allowed me to feel empowered, confident and relaxed throughout the entire birthing experience and I can recommend it to anyone preparing for birth!"
ANNA
"New to hypnobirthing (and pretty skeptical) before this course, I quickly found it welcoming, open and practical. The activities with other moms-to-be were especially helpful vs. just reading about it in books. I feel much more confident, calm, and excited for my upcoming birth!"
