Dads

Gordon and Sophie Fletcher have had first hand experience of using hypnosis in childbirth with the birth of their second son.

Does your partner need convincing? Then have a chat with Gordon who is a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner with a PhD in biochemistry. He is able to explain the science and the value of HypnoBirthing to you and your baby and reassure Dads that they have an important role to play.

During the courses partners are encouraged to take part and to learn techniques that can support and guide the mother through the different stages of labour.

Dads will learn how to read scripts and to give light touch massage as well an amazing technique that can be used during the final stages of labour.

The relaxation techniques that you learn can be used anywhere throughout your life. Some Dads who have done the courses before have been known to use them before going into board meetings or giving presentations to calm and relax themselves!

It's really important for dads to recognise that they too are going through a big life change and may be dealing with unexpected feelings around the pregnancy and birth. For Dads that are feeling they want to get involved more or are feeling unsure about the birth Gordon is on hand to offer separate sessions and support on how to guide your partner thorugh the birth.
