“If you change the way you view birth,

the way you birth will change”

 

 

The course Relaxed Childbirth based on Hypnobirthing and Mindfulness is an inspiring course, that is not woolly, but in fact very informative and practical. It comprises Hypnobirthing and Mindfulness techniques. In 4 private lessons you and your partner learn everything there is to know about giving birth in a relaxed manner. You follow this course together with your ‘birth companion’, the person you want to be present during your delivery; your partner, mother, sister or friend.
