Theoni is one of a handful of certified Hypnobirthing® practitioners in South Africa. Using Hypnobirthing® methods she teaches mothers and birth companions techniques for safe and satisfying birthing through guided imagery, visualization, and special breathing.

About Hypnobirthing ®
The HypnoBirthing Childbirth method is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing.  HypnoBirthing® teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner.  You will learn to call upon your body’s own natural relaxant and thus lessen or eliminate discomfort and the need for medication.  When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same will-designed manner that it does with all other creatures.

You will be fascinated as you view HypnoBirthing ® films showing labouring mothers, awake, alert and in good humour as they experience the kind of gentle birth that you, too, can know when you are free of the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome. 
HypnoBirthing® teaches you to release all prior programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain-causing fear and unyielding muscles.

HypnoBirthing® will teach you the art of using your own natural birthing instincts.  With HypnoBirthing, you will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.

YOU WILL LEARN:
  • Everything you need to know to achieve safer, easier and more comfortable birth

  • To explode the myth that pain is a necessary accompaniment to labour

  • What’s wrong with labour as it exists with most other childbirth methods

  • Techniques of deep relaxation to help you eliminate the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome

  • How your body is naturally designed to conceive, nurture and birth your baby with ease and comfort

  • To create your body’s own natural relaxant, the only safe labour enhancement

  • Natural ways to bring your body into labour without artificial chemical induction

  • How you and your birthing companion can create a birthing environment that is calm, serene and joyful, rather than tense and stressful

  • Gentle birthing techniques that allow you to breathe your baby into the world without the violence of hard physical pushing

  • To use your natural birthing instincts to birth your baby in a way that most mirrors the way that nature intended

“The hypnobirthing course was invaluable. My husband and I learnt so much about our pregnancy, our values and what kind of parents we want to be. The course gave us an understanding of what the birthing process should be. Had we not attended the hypnobirthing classes, we would not be as confident about our baby’s birth. I feel that we are now better equipped to make certain that my baby has a safe, happy and healthy birthing experience. I am empowered as a mother and no longer feel bullied by doctors and clinical birthing practices.”
Sharon, mother of Matthew

I was so afraid of natural birth because of all the horror stories of 24 hour labours i had heard but i did know this was the route i wanted to take. i knew i had to equip myself with tools to enable me to do it and found the hypnobirthing course that Theoni offers. It helped me understand that my baby knows what to do and i just needed to relax and let him do his job! In the end i had the most amazing water birth without neeeding any medical pain releif and the labour lasted less than 2 hours! And this for a first baby was an amazing feat all thanks to Hypnobirthing.

Hypnobirthing was the key to unlocking the power within me to give birth naturally, without pain medication or any medical intervention. My baby Sarah was born to the gentle music and affirmations for a calm and wonderful beginning. Both I and my husband are forever grateful for having done the course.
Hayley mother of Sarah

Hypnobirthing really helped me connect with my body as something designed to give birth, and my pregnancy as something natural and desirable. By the time I went into labour I had no unnecessary fears to deal with; I believed I could give birth easily and that faith was crucial for my home birth.
Tamlyn mother of Zoe

Not enough people teach you the importance of knowledge of your body and the miracle of how it works, understanding that its function is natural and perfect. We must just allow nature to take its course. A sense of accomplishment and overall empowering, and a deep feeling of inner peace, that is what you and HypnoBirthing gave me. Thank you!
Renske mother of Edda

HypnoBirthing will open your eyes, and your heart, to a gentle, beautiful, calm way to bring your newborn into this world.  Not only did it help prepare me for the most amazing day of my life, but it also provided me with an incredible sense of calm and confidence throughout my pregnancy.
Kerry mother of Sasha

The course that Theoni runs is excellent: it educates you so that you are less fearful during labour thus preparing your little one for a gentle birth.  Your baby will have a much better chance of an easy passage into the world if you follow the guidelines set out in this course.  I found the affirmations and CD recordings immensely helpful.
