  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Hypno-WHAT podcast! I'm Claire, a doula & hypnobirthing teacher from Edinburgh. I'm here to debunk a lot of the nonsense that surrounds Hypnobirthing for you because, let's be honest, it sounds like crap.

    But what if I told you it was actually like Sports Psychology for birth... would you think it was a bit less weird? Hypnobirthing simply acknowledges the impact that your brain has on the unfolding of birth.

    It's less vagina-whispering and more learning how your body works; helping you to really believe in yourself and the amazing capabilities of your pregnant body.

    The aim of my work is to help you to feel informed & in control; prepared for whatever route your birth may take; confident in your decision-making; setting you up for a really positive post-natal period with your new plus-one.

    Today we're exploring the idea of 'having a hypnobirth'; what the stereotypical idea of a hypnobirth is and how useful I think that is! Spoiler - I don't think a hypnobirth is a thing.

Informative and positive approach to birthing

Claire’s approach to finding a positive outlook no matter how the birth goes is so reassuring. The knowledge she provides over this podcast is helpful in learning your options so that you as a mother and father can make informed decisions that are right for you and your baby. She fuels you with excitement for your birth. Her accent is delightful and just an added bonus!
