Will I Attend Antenatal Classes?

What is the difference between Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Classes?

Antenatal classes address all conscious, rational and the analytical aspects of birthing and are about external interventions, working from the outside in, which can lead to increased levels of anxiety, leaving women feeling emotionally and psychologically unprepared for birth.

"At one of our visits to the Holles Street Domino midwives it was recommended to us that we should look into Hypnobirthing Classes.As soon as I read the book I had to know more. I knew that hypnosis for childbirth was what I wanted for my baby and myself.

That is when we came across Aisling and her Hypnobirthing Online course.

The Main Thing we got from Hypnobirthing was Reassurance & Confidence

to give Birth to our Beautiful Child in the most Relaxing way possible.
