The greatest advantages of these Hypnobirthing classes here in Sydney are; learning self-hypnosis and reducing stress, anxiety, fear and alleviating pain. HypnoBirthing does not mean that you will be in a constant trance or deep sleep, you will be conversant, in good spirits, relaxed, yet fully in control. Just imagine welcoming your baby feeling peaceful and calm, relaxed and even smiling!

HypnoBirthing will help you understand how your body and mind continue to work together throughout your pregnancy and childbirth. Nature is wise, learn to draw on that wisdom to give birth in a most natural, comfortable way. Birthing a baby is not an illness or an injury, it is a very natural process for a healthy woman. When a woman is healthy and her baby is healthy, her desire for a natural calm birth can become a reality.

About Your HypnoBirthing Practitioner
Katherine Ferris a Childbirth Educator and Hypnotherapist, certified as a HypnoBirthing practitioner at the very first course held by Marie Mongan in Australia. Katherine is very passionate about helping mums gain confidence to have a more comfortable birth. Having been a mother and experienced natural childbirth, she is able to share with you the joy of welcoming a baby into this world in a calm and peaceful way. Several snapshots depicted on these pages are of her two daughters and grandchildren. Both have used the HypnoBirthing Method of childbirth and are thrilled with their birth experiences.
One of my daughters is creating an on-line niche for herself with new and pre-loved kids clothing, Red Kelly Kids. As she says: “its unreal clothing for real kids”, drop by and see for yourself.
Hypnobirthing method is enhanced by self-hypnosis, it provides the missing link, that allows women to use natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more comfortable childbirth. As a birth method, HypnoBirthing is as new as tomorrow and as old as ancient times.
HypnoBirthing is not meant to replace the valuable assistance that obstetricians and midwives can provide. Should special circumstances arise, the midwives are on hand to deal with a mum who is relaxed, focused and in control, rather than someone who is panicky, in pain and out of control. You can make the whole experience easier and more comfortable for yourself, your baby and everyone involved.
The HypnoBirthing Course was developed in the USA in 1989 by Marie Mongan. It is based on the work of an obstetrician Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, the early promoter of Natural Childbirth. Dr. Read coined the phrase Fear-Tension-Pain, which he believed to be the underlying reason for pain in childbirth. Marie Mongan has added self-hypnosis to the specific birth breathing rhythms and combined with Dr. Reads findings is helping women around the Globe to have an easier more comfortable and calm birth. HypnoBirthing practitioners are currently working throughout Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the UK, Canada and Europe.
