Shari Lyon, 5 x award-winning Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner from Belly2birth is answering the question “What is Hypnobirthing?” 

I have to say, Hypnobirthing is not only for pregnant women but for EVERYONE! It is a way of understanding women’s body and realizing that childbirth can be a fearless and positive experience (not the way it is usually shown in movies nowadays). I personally learned sooo much preparing this interview.

In this episode, you will discover (or learn more about) Hypnobirthing, a technique mixing self-hypnosis, meditation, deep relaxation, massage, acupressure, mental preparation and much more in order to create and maintain a positive mindset through pregnancy and delivery. You will also learn about birth hormones, mind/body connection, as well as causes of fear and how it affects labour.
