HypnoBirthing is a unique method of natural childbirth education which helps parents to gain control of and experience an easier, calmer, more comfortable birth. Approximately 65% of HypnoBirthing mums require no pain relief during their labours, often only experiencing sensations of pressure or tightness. The Caesarean section rate amongst HypnoBirthing mums is at around 10%, compared with the UK average rate of nearly 25%! HypnoBirthing is particularly suitable for first time mums and also for those who have had children before, especially if their previous birth was difficult or traumatic.

Sarah Ockwell-Smith is a certified HypnoBirthing Practitioner and has been teaching the programme since 2005, she specialises in Homebirths, Waterbirths and VBACs and she is also a mother to HypnoBirthed babies herself.

Sarah teaches HypnoBirthing at Royston Complementary Health Centre on Fridays.
