"There is no physiological function in the body which gives rise to pain in the normal course of health" GRANTLY DICK-READ, Childbirth Without Fear.

About Me
My name is Michelle Cumberland and I am a Certified HypnoBirthing® practitioner. I am also a qualified, experienced Midwife, who is passionate about natural childbirth.As a midwife I was involved in several HypnoBirthing® births and was amazed by how calm and peaceful they were, consequently I decided to train as a HypnoBirthing® Practitioner four years ago.I believe it is vital that mum's-to-be know why their body does what it does in childbirth, and how. This knowledge is essential so that parents-to-be can feel confident and fully informed.I am registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

About HypnoBirthing
Newborn

HypnoBirthing® is a complete birth education programme that teaches simple but specific self-hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques for a better birth. It is much more than just self-hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth.With HypnoBirthing® you will discover that severe pain does not have to accompany labour. You will learn how to release the fears and anxieties you may have about giving birth, and how to overcome previous traumatic births. You will learn how to put yourself back in control of your birth rather than blindly turning your birthing experience over to your doctor or midwife. HypnoBirthing® doesn't mean you'll be in a trance or asleep, indeed you'll be able to chat and be fully in control. You will always be aware of what is happening to you and around you.Birth partners can sometimes feel like a spare part during labour, sitting on the sidelines worrying and wondering what to do. HypnoBirthing® enables birthing partners to play a vital role throughout the labour and birth.
Course details and prices No Frame

The course is run over four or five sessions and the cost includes the HynoBirthing® handbook, hypnosis CD and all course materials. The perfect time for couples to start the course is about 25 weeks into the pregnancy, allowing about three weeks between sessions for practising the techniques. Ideally the course should be completed by about 36 weeks.

If you are short of time or need to complete the course quickly, it is possible to do the whole course over a weekend for example. Please contact me to discuss.

Testimonials

"We would thoroughly recommend HypnoBirthing to any expectant mum/couple. The information provided by the programme removes the fear of birthing, and equips you with understanding, empowerment and relaxation techniques to help your birthing happen as nature intended. The programme emphasises the importance of the birthing partner, and teaches techniques which put them at the centre of the whole process, supporting the mother through each stage. Through everything we learnt from HypnoBirthing we were able to have a calm, secure birthing experience."

"We thought Michelle Cumberland was an excellent practitioner. With Michelle's background in midwifery we felt confident in her guidance, and at ease from the first meeting. She is passionate about helping couples to have the most positive birthing experience possible, and her calm and genuine manner are perfect for delivering the skills of the HypnoBirthing programme. Michelle has a great depth of knowledge, and was able to answer all our questions about pregnancy, the birth and our new baby. We both looked forward to each session, and thank Michelle for turning our life-changing experience into a wonderful one."

FAQs

Does my partner need to attend the classes?

Yes, your birthing partner is a really important part of the course, preferably this would be your partner, but if this is not possible, another birth companion of your choosing can accompany you

What if I cannot be hypnotised?

Hypnosis is not a form of mind control and most people can be hypnotised. If you can follow simple instructions and have the belief and expectation that you will be hypnotised, then you will.

Do I need to do the HypnoBirthing course or will a CD work as well?

A general CD will only give you limited results. I believe in treating clients as individuals, the results are much better. Also, the HypnoBirthing course is much more than hypnosis, it includes indepth antenatal education and evidence-based information from a qualified experienced practitioner.
