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. You will be provided 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.

"We recently had a pleasure of working with Veronika for private birth preparation lessons and the experience was outstanding! Veronika is a highly knowledgeable and experienced consultant. The five private sessions we had covered a wide range of invaluable topics: from understanding how the body and mind work during labor to the stages of birth, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and creating a personalized birth plan. Every session was thoughtfully planned and delivered.
Luiza
"My husband and I signed up for Veronika's Hypnobirthing course to prepare for the arrival of our little girl. Initially, I was quite apprehensive about giving birth, but after just one session, I could see the advantages and how it eased my fears. The Hypnobirthing techniques are simple yet effective, and I have been utilizing everything I learned during the course in the final weeks of my pregnancy.
I am very much looking forward to the day of the birth!
Veronika is a gentle and kind-hearted individual, and her passion for childbirth is evident. She is dedicated to helping women find their inner strength and feel equipped for the best birthing experience possible. We are grateful to have had Veronika's guidance during this significant time. Thank you, Veronika, for being our guiding star!
