This group is facilitated by Rashmi Kumar, RP (Qualifying), Mongan Method Certified HypnoBirthingⓇ Childbirth Educator.
Our Birthing Unafraid group brings expectant people and their birth companions together to support each other as you learn about and practice HypnoBirthing® techniques. We prepare for your childbirth by focusing on relaxation, breathing and self-hypnosis techniques to reduce fear and anxiety to create a calm and relaxing environment and have the birth experience you want.
Our goal is for you to have a satisfying, relaxing birth and call upon your body’s natural relaxant to lessen or eliminate discomfort and the need for medical intervention. You will learn to release fears and trust your body’s and baby’s natural ability to birth, allowing nature to function in its well-designed manner.
