HypnoBirthing® NZ Childbirth Education Classes
for a Positive & Joyful Birth Experience
I’m so pleased you’re exploring the idea of using HypnoBirthing for the birth of your baby. Giving birth is a momentous moment in your life & should be a joyful & beautiful experience. HypnoBirthing provides the tools and techniques to assist you in having this kind of birth. I have two children of my own & truly believe all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of tranquility and calm & for all parents the birthing experience should be joyous and positive whatever turn their birthing may take. I have been teaching HypnoBirthing in Christchurch for the last fifteen years & have worked with hundreds of couples, I now run my classes from the beautiful location of Methven. I also train all the new HypnoBirthing educators in NZ including midwives and therefore bring a wealth of experience & knowledge to the classes. You will find my classes educational, empowering, fun & very relaxing…….to find out more submit the form at the bottom of the page – I look forward to seeing you there, Stephanie
