Hypnobirthing
"When you change the way you view birth, the way you birth will change"- Marie Mongan
The aim of the Hypnobirthing course is to help you and your partner feel prepared, relaxed and confident about your upcoming birth, and to provide you with tools and knowledge that will help you keep a positive mindset, cope with labour and create a good birth experience, regardless of how and where you give birth.
The course is thought in English and consists of five weekly sessions of approximately 2-2,5 h each.
