Hypnobirthing isn’t about “hypnosis” — it’s about understanding your body, calming your nervous system and replacing fear with confidence.

When you feel safe and relaxed, your body can do what it’s designed to do 

Hypnobirthing supports you to feel grounded, supported and connected to your baby—before, during and beyond birth 🤍

Hypnobirthing
(noun)
/hip-no-ber-thing/

❌ Not being hypnotised
❌ No clucking like a chicken
❌ No pocket watches, chanting, or “you are getting very sleepy…”

✅ What it actually is:

A gentle, evidence-based approach to birth that helps you feel calm, confident and in control.
We focus on breathing, relaxation, mindset and understanding your body so fear takes a back seat and trust takes the lead
✨ Less fear
✨ More confidence
✨ A calmer mind = a calmer birth

At Mellow Births, hypnobirthing is about feeling supported, informed and empowered whichever type of birth you decide to have. I cannot stress enough how I support all births... Home birth? Amazing! Consultant led birth? Absolutely! C-Section? Perfect!

And yes… you stay fully awake the whole time 😉 No hippy dippy stuff happening here... Just simple birth education and information to help you make informed choices 🙌🏻

💙 Ready to prepare for a calmer, more positive birth?
Bookings are now open for March 2026 births onwards, pop me a DM and we can discuss course dates and answer any questions

🌜 Dear 2026,
May this be a year of trust.
Trust in the body.
Trust in the breath.
Trust in the natural unfolding of birth.

May fear be replaced with calm preparation.
May parents feel informed, supported and deeply connected to their inner strength.
May birth be approached not with tension, but with softness, confidence and belief.

Dear 2026,
Let birth be peaceful.
Let minds be calm.
Let bodies lead.

✨ If you’re preparing for birth in 2026 and feel called to a calmer, more connected experience, I’d feel honoured to be part of your journey and support you whether it's your first birth or fifth.
Take a moment to breathe, explore, and trust that you already hold everything you need. ✨

☀️I feel positive and calm whatever form my birthing takes☀️

Positive affirmations are a simple yet powerful tool in hypnobirthing. By repeating calm, supportive statements, you gently retrain your mind to focus on confidence, trust, and relaxation throughout pregnancy and birth.

Wondering how they can help?

They can reduce fear and anxiety:
Affirmations can combat the fear-based responses that trigger the "fight, flight, or freeze" reaction in the body, which can slow down labor.

Promote a sense of calm:
Repeatedly focusing on positive and calming statements helps you remain more relaxed, which can make the sensations of labor more manageable.

Build confidence:
Statements like "I am strong and capable" remind you of your inner strength and ability to handle the physical challenge of labor.

Facilitate a mind-body connection:
They encourage you to work with your body instead of against it, trusting that your body is designed to give birth.

Improve focus:
Affirmations can act as an anchor, helping you stay present and focused on your breath and the process, rather than getting overwhelmed by intensity.

A few moments each day with these affirmations can make your birth journey feel more grounded, empowered, and peaceful.

When joining a full Mellow Births Hypnobirthing course you get given a box of 30 positive birth affirmation cards to put up around your home. You also get access to audio tapes for relaxation and positive affirmations.

Next course is taking place in January & February on Saturday mornings, please send a DM for prices, questions or bookings 🩵
