HypnoBirthing® with Rachel
HypnoBirthing®
Prepare for birth with confidence, calm and connection.
Birth isn't just something to get through—it's an experience that can shape the beginning of your journey into parenthood.
HypnoBirthing® is a complete childbirth education program that combines evidence-based birth education with practical tools for relaxation, breathing, mindset and partner support. Together, these techniques help you approach birth with greater confidence, understanding and trust in your body's ability to birth.
Whether you're planning a hospital birth, birth centre, private hospital or home birth, HypnoBirthing equips you with knowledge and skills that can support you in every birth setting.
As a certified HypnoBirthing International Practitioner and Birth Doula, my goal is not to promise a particular birth outcome—but to help you feel informed, prepared and empowered to navigate whatever your birth journey brings.
What is HypnoBirthing?
HypnoBirthing® – The Mongan Method is a comprehensive childbirth education program designed to help you prepare for birth with knowledge, confidence and practical skills.
Combining evidence-based birth education with relaxation techniques, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how your body works in labour, how to support the natural birth process, and how to make informed decisions throughout your pregnancy and birth.
Throughout the five-week course, you'll explore topics including:
Understanding the physiology of birth and how your body is designed to birth your baby
The mind-body connection and how fear and tension can influence labour
Deep relaxation, breathing and visualisation techniques for labour and birth
Nutrition and lifestyle choices to support a healthy pregnancy
Optimal birth positions and movement to encourage comfort and progress during labour
Acupressure techniques and natural comfort measures for labour
The important role of your birth partner and practical ways they can provide meaningful support
Building a strong connection with your baby before birth
Creating your birth preferences and understanding your options within the maternity system
Preparing for the early postpartum period, including recovery, emotional wellbeing and practical planning
Breastfeeding education and preparing for your feeding journey
Strategies for navigating unexpected turns in birth while remaining informed and empowered
Whether you're a first-time parent or preparing for another birth, HypnoBirthing provides practical tools that can help you approach birth feeling calm, informed and supported.
Why parents love HypnoBirthing®
Parents often tell me that the biggest gift of this course isn't simply learning breathing techniques—it's leaving with confidence.
Confidence to ask questions.
Confidence to understand your options.
Confidence to work together as a team.
Confidence to trust your body and your instincts.
By the end of the course, you'll have a greater understanding of birth, practical skills to support you through labour, and the reassurance that comes from being well prepared—whatever path your birth takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every birth story is unique.
While no one can predict exactly how birth will unfold, preparing for birth can change how you experience it.
My hope is that you leave this course feeling informed, supported and confident—not because you've planned every detail, but because you've developed the knowledge and tools to navigate birth with trust in yourself.
