Relaxation is at the heart of hypnobirthing—and it’s one of the most powerful tools you can use during pregnancy and birth. At Hibiscus Hypnobirthing, we teach a range of techniques to help you feel calm, connected, and in control.
Here are some of our favourites:
- Relaxation & Hypnosis Audios: Listening to calming MP3 tracks helps train your mind to enter a deeply relaxed state. All our clients receive a set of digital relaxation audios to use throughout pregnancy and birth. These tracks are designed to anchor positive associations and help you access calm even in moments of intensity.
- Positive Visualisations: Imagining your ideal birth experience can help rewire your brain for calm and confidence. We’ll guide you through visualisation exercises that you can practise at home, including seeing yourself relaxed in your chosen birth environment.
- Pregnancy Yoga: Gentle movement and breathwork can ease tension, improve sleep, and prepare your body for labour. It’s also a beautiful way to connect with your baby and cultivate mindfulness.
- Breathing Techniques: Learn how to use your breath to stay grounded and focused, even during intense moments. Partners are taught these techniques too, so they can support you through shared breathing and emotional regulation.
- Massage & Touch: Practised during pregnancy, touch builds positive associations that can be soothing during labour. We explore how partners can use massage to release oxytocin and endorphins—your body’s natural pain relief and bonding hormones.
These tools aren’t just for the birth room—they’re for life. Many of our clients continue using them long after their baby arrives, finding that the skills they’ve learned help them navigate parenthood with more calm, clarity, and connection.
