What happened to the hypno in hypnobirthing? As hynobirthing has grown in popularity over the last 20 years the hypno element has been diluted and misunderstood. Sadly the potential uses of hypnotherapy in pregnancy and beyond remain largely unknown despite compelling evidence.
Courses can look glossy or promise a "business in a box".
But when you scratch beneath the surface you may find
❌ little or no effective hypnosis training
❌ misunderstanding of hypnotic language and self-hypnosis, and how mindfulness is different
❌ people left unsure of how to adapt when birth takes a different path
❌ hypnosis techniques taught that are contraindicated for pregnancy
Most hypnobirthing classes are antenatal classes with some breathing and visualisation, one or two audio tracks and scripts the birth partner has to read.
This is why people come to me after doing other courses. This is a psychological preparation course for birth NOT an antenatal class with massage, rebozo or basic breathing exercises.
It's also taught by Sophie Fletcher one of the original founders of the course, and a doula, hypnotherapist and clinical supervisor. 100's 's of teachers have been through this respected programme including perinatal mental health teams and midwives in the NHS.

Secure your space for 2025Louise - Mindful Hypnobirthing teacher
Louise is a successful practitioner in Dundee, Scotland for many years. She's a fantastic teacher and has worked hard to build up a great reputation within her area.
Hear what she had to say about the course and her experience of the journey.
Why practitioners choose this training
"As a clinical psychologist I wanted a course that fitted alongside my style of working and was grounded in evidence."
"I trained with another provider and this was entirely different. It was a much more comprehensive approach to hypnosis and so many more tools".
"I loved that this was about real skills I could use with parents straight away."
"Sophie is profoundly generous with the tools she teaches, some of the biggest birth influencers have trained with her and built success on the work she has done with them."
"I wasn't sure how my first class would go, but I couldn't believe how well it had all gone in, I listened to my confident practitioner track before the class, and I was absolutely buzzing afterwards".
Feel supported.
I only train up to 40 practitioners a year. That means:
- You'll get direct support from me
- Your questions are always answered
- You'll feel part of a community of serious like-minded professionals
- There are resources for just about anything. And if they don't exist I have the skills to create them.
Hypnosis isn't rocket science. But you do need to understand what is really is, the evidence that supports it, and how you can adapt aspects of hypnosis specifically for pregnancy and birth. It is different from mindfulness and you'll learn subtle ways in which these techniques can play different roles during birth.
Also importantly, how to keep your clients safe. With this you will be able to add hypnosis to your portfolio or start a new business entirely.
All you need to bring to this is your passion for birth.
“I would just like to commend you on designing and running such a really fantastic course! It really has empowered both of us. Most of our fears about birth have disappeared already.
I can’t thank you enough for the techniques you have given us. We have recommended you to our friends. The birth of our son is a day we remember every second of and will cherish forever. Thank you.”
I discovered Mindful Mamma after looking after a primip in labour who appeared to be doing hypnobirthing but without any complicated techniques.
She coped brilliantly with a long difficult labour and claimed it was due to her class. Over the next couple of years I realised I could almost predict who had prepared with Sophie's techniques - they were so calm and coped well with whatever labour threw at them.
I really believe it is the most useful Birth preparation available. It suits all types of people and all intrapartum situations. It also has the added bonus of teaching life skills which are invaluable in those early days of parenthood.”
