Course content

The HypnoBirthing Course is a course in which you hear, see and feel. We look at pregnancy and birth in many different ways.
Part of it is information and theory, part of it is experiencing the exercises and practicing techniques and part of it is looking at videos in which you see how HypnoBirthing works in practice.
Because the class is intended for couples, the bond between the parents will become even deeper.

The following will be covered:
