Hypnobirthing Courses
Hypnobirthing gives you practical and theoretical knowledge with techniques to help you feel relaxed in control and well informed throughout your pregenancy birth and post birth
A more informed, calm and positive approach to birth.
It is a pleasure to introduce you to the concept of hypnobirthing. My name is Amanda and I am a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and hypnobirthing practitioner.
I have a private practice in Chartham near Canterbury in Kent, and I also work from the Thanington Community Resource Centre near Wincheap in Canterbury, where I hold hypnobirthing classes.
You may never have heard of hypnobirthing before, you may have heard somebody mention it and still be unsure what it is, or it may be something you have been told about since becoming pregnant and are now considering.
At Swan Therapy and Wellbeing, hypnobirthing is one of the services available, and my aim is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision about whether learning hypnobirthing is right for you.
Hypnobirthing is designed to support you during pregnancy, give you the knowledge to feel empowered and in control as you prepare for your baby's birth, and provide skills that can also be used to enhance the bonding with your baby.
Birth is a normal physiological process, and hypnobirthing will help you approach your birth feeling relaxed and positive.
Feel Calm
Learn practical techniques intended to reduce stress and tension and help you feel more relaxed during pregnancy, birth and after your baby arrives.

Helping you feel confident and in control.
I use the Easibirthing method of hypnobirthing because I believe strongly in its core values.
The method is designed to give you the practical and theoretical knowledge you need to feel in control, confident and relaxed throughout pregnancy, birth and post birth, including situations where your birth plan needs to change during labour.
My aim is to equip you with knowledge so you feel empowered in the choices you make, able to communicate those choices to the appropriate person, and better able to remain confident, calm and in control.

Knowledge, preparation and confidence.
Hypnobirthing gives you practical and theoretical knowledge, together with techniques to help you feel relaxed, in control and well informed throughout your pregnancy, birth and post birth. It also helps you understand your choices and develop the confidence to voice them.
Understand Your Choices
Build the knowledge you need to make informed choices throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond.
Communicate Confidently
Feel more able to discuss and voice your decisions with your midwife or the other medical professionals involved in your care.
Adapt If Things Change
Develop practical tools that can help you remain relaxed, positive and in control if your original birth plan needs to change.
Your birth experience is personal.
Hypnobirthing does not mean you have to spend your sessions rolling around on birthing balls. What matters is understanding the parts of pregnancy, labour and birth that you would personally like to become more knowledgeable about.
When you book, I will send you an assessment form to complete. This gives you the opportunity to tell me more about yourself, your birth partner and any relevant historical information so that I can support you in the best possible way.
Bringing your birth partner is not mandatory. The choice is yours because this is your pregnancy and your birth experience, and everyone's circumstances are different.
The course is designed to help you feel informed, empowered and supported, rather than telling you there is only one right way to give birth.
Thanington Community Resource Centre
I currently hold group hypnobirthing classes at the Thanington Community Resource Centre near Wincheap in Canterbury.
The centre has very good facilities and friendly staff who always look after me and my clients. Nothing is too much trouble, helping to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for your classes.
Let's get excited about you meeting your baby.
I am very much looking forward to welcoming you. Choose between a one-to-one hypnobirthing course or group hypnobirthing classes and begin your journey through the Swan Therapy and Wellbeing client portal.
