"My first birth  left me very traumatised and concerned about getting pregnant and facing a second birth.When I was pregnant the second time I listened to the Pregnancy Relaxation CD during the first half of pregnancy – this was a great bit of ‘me’ time and so relaxing (I often fell asleep) and I sailed through the first 26 weeks.But it was the Birth Preparation CD that was the real miracle maker.   I went from being anxious about experiencing birth again (I had already arranged an action plan with the hospital for an epidural for the delivery) to deciding that I wanted a natural home birth and felt confident that my body could handle it.

I went on to have the most amazing, relaxed water birth at home with my husband by my side.  At times it was tough, but mostly I felt relaxed and focused on what needed to be done and happy to just follow my instincts. I would recommend these CD’s wholeheartedly to anyone (and regularly do!).  I actually can not convey in words how much this positive birth experience has changed my life and I will always be grateful to you for your advice and your CDs" Fran, Hampshire

Natal Hypnotherapy™ has created a unique range of self hypnosis CDs for pregnancy and child birth  which can help you relax, overcome fear and enable you to have a positive pregnancy and child birth experience.

The hypnosis CDs won the Practical Parenting Editors award and was voted the Pregnancy Product of the year 2006 by Practical Parenting magazine.

The Natal Hypnotherapy programme is a complete self hypnosis child birth preparation programme which you can use in your own home, in your own time. The safe and easy to use programme puts you in control of your birth preparation.

You can tailor your own birth preparation programme by choosing from our range of individual hypnosis CDs including Home birth preparation, VBAC preparation, preparing for a Caesarean, twins birth preparation and overcome morning sickness

Give yourself quality time to prepare for child birth in a safe, controlled and highly effective way.

These hypnosis CDs are highly recommended by midwives, doulas and antenatal Yoga teachers (over 2000 in the UK are recommending them). See mothers feedback for individual testimonials. As we have had so many birth stories sent to us, we have now sorted them in to the type of birth including home births and VBACs, so no matter what kind of birth you are planning you will find inspirational and empowering stories. 

For more detailed feedback on how the hypnosis CDs have helped mothers please go to research. The feedback is based on the post natal questionnaire automatically sent to mothers who used one of the birth preparation CDs, 6 weeks after their baby is born. The findings are quite impressive and show just how effective self hypnosis can be.

To understand how the CDs work please read Maggie Howell's article on Effective birth preparation

Hypnosis for birth Courses are now being run accross the UK from Hull to Cornwall. 

The course is a complete antenatal birth preparation course which is designed to truly prepare you both for the birth. It teaches you the principles and techniques of hypnosis but equally as important, you will learn about the emotional and physical aspects of birth, practical techniques for your birth partner to be an invaluable and integral part of the birth and to help you both prepare emotionally, physically and mentally for a positive birth experience.

Courses are run by highly trained Natal Hypnotherapy™ Practitioners whose backgrounds include being midwives, Doulas, antenatal teachers, hypnotherapists and women who have used the techniques themselves.

No, HypnoBirthing is a registered name for the Marie Mongan approach to using hypnosis for birth. It is one of several approaches to the use of hypnosis for birth and was started in the US by Marie Mongan. 

In the media the term HypnoBirthing has become a generic term for using hypnosis for birth, however the registered HypnoBirthing approach is based on attending a face to face course using material created by Marie Mongan.

Natal Hypnotherapy™ was created by Maggie Howell and is the UK's leading approach to Hypnosis for child birth, teaching women specific techniques and approaches to helping them overcome fear, be more confident and learn ways to work with their body to reduce levels of discomfort during childbirth. Since starting in 2000 Natal Hypnotherapy has helped over 15,000 women in the UK and reached women in over 40 countries! 

Similar to HypnoBirthing, Natal Hypnotherapy™ run face to face complete birth preparation courses around the UK. The complete antenatal courses cover a wide range of techniques including massage, breathing, positions, use of birthing ball as well as hypnosis as a tool for a positive pregnancy and birth. 

However in addition, we wanted all women to be able to benefit from the wonderful skills learnt using hypnosis and so have developed a range of home use CDs (from £10). 

Natal Hypnotherapy™ has been developed in the UK by its founder, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Maggie Howell who began practising Natal Hypnotherapy™ in 2000. She has developed the techniques 'organically' through her own experiences of using them for the births of her four sons, through her work as as a hypnotherapist and Doula and her work with leading birth specialists including Michael Odent, Ina May Gaskin and Sheila Kitzinger. Maggie is now the "pregnancy & birth" magazines resident expert.
